Some may want to praise Jill Biden for standing by husband Joe after his dementia-affected debate performance last week. But in reality she’s standing on him, say critics — in a quest to maintain her prestige and power.
And one of these critics is Mrs. Biden’s ex-husband, a man who says that Jill 2.0 is “not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way.” War, Christianity, and... Best Price: $8.95 Buy New $9.95 (as of 09:10 UTC - Details)
Many Americans fed the lie that Joe Biden was functioning well — see this X thread (in which I participated) about a Newsweek writer who insisted three days before the debate that Biden’s health was “perfectly fine” — had their eyes opened last Thursday evening. Biden mumbled, fumbled, and stumbled through the debate in a clear state of sundowning confusion, even though he might’ve gotten the moderators’ questions in advance, some claim (others deny this). But Jill is undeterred.
As RedState wrote the day after the debacle:
Jill Biden cemented her place in history as the worst wife in presidential history Thursday night. Her behavior following one of the most tragic scenes in presidential debate history has all the markings of elder abuse.
Perhaps it’s time to change the term from “First Lady” to “Worst Lady.”
By now, you’ve surely either watched the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, or you’ve seen a plethora of clips showing in no uncertain terms that the president is barely functioning cognitively.
And you’ve also seen media personalities on the left stopping just short of setting their hair on fire with sheer panic over the fact that the leader of the free world would barely be capable of tying his own shoes at this point. …[Jill] is shamelessly abusing this man before America’s eyes.
Others have accused the Thirst Lady (thirsty for fame and acclaim) of being a “Lady MacBeth.” But perhaps no one is more surprised than the man who was married to her for five years. As the New York Post reports: Hamiltonu2019s Curse: ... Best Price: $3.92 Buy New $8.25 (as of 05:55 UTC - Details)
“The Dr. Jill Biden who I’ve seen on TV in the last five years is not the same person I married or that I recognize in any way,” Bill Stevenson, who was married to Jill from 1970 to 1975, told The Post Saturday.
“She’s matriculated into a completely different woman.”
… “I just don’t understand why she is so adamant about defending him and keeping him in the race since it appears that he’s struggling,” Stevenson said.
… “I’ve watched Jill grow,” he added.
“I’ve been proud of her at certain moments. I have no hard feelings … I’m just surprised to see her front and center in the middle of this battle after flying under the radar for so many years. She’s always been very driven. People say she’s the one who wants to be president now.”
“Stevenson, who remarried and has a family of his own, once supported Biden, when he ran as vice-president with Barack Obama and when Biden ran for the US Senate in 1972,” the Post continues. But no more.
