BIDEN BACK TO ‘HIDIN OUT

Now that he’s fit, so says his doctor

-

Get ready for Hidin’ Biden to go back into the basement.

The latest alternate reality lie is that Joe Biden isfitasa fiddle and sharp for an 81-year-old — the result of an out-ofcontrol Democratic spin machine.

If that’s the case, why is the White House now shielding the president’s appearance­s from public view, refusing to send out exact locations of his events and curtailing his schedule — much the same way Boston Mayor Michelle Wu did when campaignin­g in New Hampshire?

Biden is appearing at smaller, more tightly controlled events and staying away from college campuses because of fears that pro-Palestinia­n demonstrat­ors will disrupt his events. He announced his $1.2 billion college loan forgivenes­s program in front of a tiny crowd at a small library in Los Angeles — not a college campus where it would make sense.

The White House has even reportedly hired a private company to vet the crowd at one event and is discussing severely limiting the attendance at a fundraiser with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to only loyal high rollers.

This after Biden was repeatedly heckled at a speech in Virginia several weeks ago.

Blame it on a security threat but actually it’s just the White House protecting the frail and fragile president from a possibly disastrous Weekend at Biden’s senior moment or even a fall or slip.

Put the worries about “security” into the latest pack of Democratic lies thrown at voters to stop Donald Trump.

The latest line of alternate reality attack is that Biden passed his physical, though of course he didn’t need a cognitive test.

“He passes a cognitive test every day,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said.

“They think I look too young,” Biden said of his doctors, who obviously didn’t look too closely.

Next lie: the border crisis is all Trump’s fault.

The massive exodus of migrants coming into the country is somehow not Biden’s fault — it’s the fault of a president who hasn’t been in office since 2020.

If it weren’t for Republican­s blocking the immigratio­n bill, the border crisis would be solved by now.

And don’t worry about the economy or inflation, Bidenomics is saving the country. The fact that polls show people don’t believe the economy is good is Trump’s fault.

Never mind the fact that millions are living paycheck to paycheck and states like Massachuse­tts are going bankrupt to pay for the thousands of migrants pouring in for free housing, food and schooling.

What Democrats fail to realize is that you need a kernel of truth to convince voters that the economy is humming, Biden’s health is fine and illegal immigratio­n isn’t a problem.

The claims can’t be completely fraudulent to get voters to believe them.

But don’t worry. you’ll be hearing all of the alternate reality version of events when Biden gets to his State of the Union address this month. If the president can somehow read the Teleprompt­er without falling asleep.
