Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy stated that President Joe Biden won’t secure the Democratic Party’s nomination due to concerns about his mental sharpness, following the Justice Department’s special counsel report.
Ramaswamy suggested that the Democratic establishment would swap out the president with “another puppet.”
“The managerial class and the Democratic Party, and I believe in the Deep State, has decided that they have lost their use for Joe Biden as a puppet,” Mr. Ramaswamy said during an interview on Feb. 8, discussing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report on the investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents.
“I think they laid a trap for him. They invited him effectively to prove to the American people that he doesn’t have the mental acuity to do it. He fell into their trap. And now they’re laying the groundwork for the coming three months to sideline him and actually put up who the real nominee is going to be,” he said.
The 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur then predicted that the Democratic Party would consider former First Lady Michelle Obama as their presidential candidate for the 2024 White House race.
In a 388-page report released on February 8th, Mr. Hur discovered that President Biden “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”
However, the special counsel opted not to pursue charges against him due to insufficient evidence to prove his guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt” and the president’s “poor memory.”
The report described President Biden as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” The report also referred to the president’s mental fitness as “hazy,” “significantly limited,” and showed signs of “diminished faculties and faulty memory.”
The report pointed out that President Biden had difficulty recalling important events, such as the timing of his son’s death, the duration of his vice presidency, or details about the Afghanistan debate.
After the report was released, President Biden called a press conference where he brushed off the special counsel’s findings.
“My memory is fine,” Biden stated angrily, facing intense questioning from the press. However, he ended up confusing the presidents of Mexico and Egypt during the conference.
The White House also rejected the report’s conclusions regarding the president’s memory, labeling them as “gratuitous” and “politically motivated.”
When questioned about President Biden’s handling of inquiries regarding his mental acuity during the press conference, Mr. Ramaswamy said that it appeared to be “a form of elder abuse.”
“This is a man who was clearly personally hurt, personally insulted but didn’t have the mental acuity to process or even communicate the extent to which he had been hurt or insulted. And so the reality is, this man is a puppet; the puppet masters who are wielding him have lost their use,” Ramaswamy said.
“It’s a really sad situation to watch play out in plain sight. This is the President of the United States,” he later added.
Ramaswamy highlighted President Biden’s failure to bring the country together and advised the leading GOP candidate, former President Donald Trump, to seize this chance to unite the nation and secure victory in November.
