Much Clearer

I have spent a good bit of time talking to Kevin McCarthy through the years and hours with Biden in 2024. There is no comparison. Biden is far sharper, more intellectually curious, and far more insightful on global affairs than any House GOP speaker I have met over 30 years.

There really is a weird double standard where the media can question Joe Biden’s mental acuity because of his age, but when Trump says something completely batshit crazy there is no investigation into whether he is actually emotionally unstable or disordered in some way.

But Kevin McCarthy assured the WSJ that his statements in private were lies, and that his statements for publication were true. Which matters much more than Trump’s public statements that are reported here by the Biden campaign. Which is also more important than what Trump actually said. Or at least why we should ignore what Trump says, and worry about what McCarthy says about Biden. But only some of what McCarthy says about Biden.

Hope the Wall Street Journal feels free to reach out to any one of us who worked in the Trump Admin. Happy to discuss Trump’s mental acuity & fitness for office. We can start with the closed doors discussions on milkshakes during intel briefings, windmills causing cancer, what…

Kevin McCarthy was ejected as Speaker of the House because even Matt Gaetz found him too slippery to trust. Here’s why we made him the only named source for a feature story on Biden’s mental decline.
