Fox News host Sean Hannity has claimed that President Biden has been experiencing a steep cognitive decline for years. This claim was made on his show ‘Hannity,’ adding to a chorus of conservative voices questioning Biden’s mental fitness for office. Hannity’s statement reflects a growing trend among Fox News commentators, who have consistently criticized Biden’s recent debate performance and overall cognitive abilities.
Other Fox News personalities, like Hugh Hewitt, have echoed these sentiments, with Hewitt stating that Trump dominated the debate and doesn’t need a second one. Ingraham has gone further, labeling the Bidens as ‘selfish, mean grifters to the end.’ Gutfield also joined the chorus, suggesting that the media’s shock over Biden’s debate performance is another attempt at a cover-up.
The commentary on Biden’s mental state extends beyond the debate performance, with Fox News contributing to a broader discussion on the potential ramifications for the 25th Amendment and the succession of the presidency. Additionally, Fox News has sparked debate on the future of American holidays, questioning whether July 4th will soon be seen as an outdated celebration similar to Columbus Day.
These criticisms from Fox News come at a time of heightened political tension, with the 2024 presidential election looming. The commentary surrounding Biden’s cognitive abilities and the impact of his debate performance is likely to continue to fuel partisan divisions and intensify the political landscape moving forward.
