Hannity and O'Reilly claim Biden's family concerned about candidate's mental health
by Anthony Leonardi
| April 01, 2020 07:19 PM
Fox News host Sean Hannity and former Fox News personality Bill O'Reilly claimed anonymous Democratic sources have lost confidence in former Vice President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
During Hannity's Wednesday radio program, O'Reilly said Biden insiders told him Biden's family and friends have "great concern" about the presidential candidate's mental health.

"There is great concern among Mr. Biden's family and friends about his mental health. Great concern. And his wife is the key, all right? Dr. Jill Biden. She has a Ph.D in education. They're worried about him," O'Reilly said.
"And the thinking now is that, if Biden can't make it, they'll get him to a couple of weeks before the convention, and then he'll step aside for health reasons and give his delegates to Cuomo," O'Reilly said, fueling speculation that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo may be eyeing a late entry into the 2020 contest given the high marks he has received for his handling of New York's coronavirus outbreak.

This again? Tucker Carlson had some anonymous sources within the Biden campaign claiming he was unfit and would be replaced. Now we have Hannity and Bill O with more anonymous sources making similar claims.
Why do I think all these stories about "concern" for Biden's mental health are part of an organize effort to get rid of Trump's competition?
I believe in Fake news. FOX is just as bad as the rest of them. Of course I think Biden is loosing it. But I don't believe this.

@Applewood
I too think Biden's mental health looks sketchy based on some clips of him recently and not so recently. Fortunately he's running against a President who is most certainly equally impaired. I'm trying to always give my President the benefit of the doubt when ever possible, but I do wonder why President Trump's family has no concerns about his health. Did they see Hitlery pass out on the campaign last time? Nice to see Biden's family cares.
Should make for unbelievable debates...if they and I live that long.
Given both their ages and deteriorating health, I don't think it is a waste of time to speculate how messed up our elections will be, if one of them passes or steps down after millions of absentee ballots are cast. Would the VP candidate get those votes?

Seeing Trump bragging about his COVID briefings being better than sitcoms brought it home how disconnected he was from reality. I wonder if we can get a late entry too?
But I don't think Biden's family would acknowledge that publicly. If they were concerned they would handle it personally and he would probably be forced to bow out.

Biden still might drop out. He really does not look good.
I thought our President compared his very incredible ratings to the Bachelor finale. The Bachelor is a Reality-TV show. I think we are living in another Reality-TV show called "Survivor."
-
Spreading unsourced "news" about Biden's mental health and hinting he will drop out of the race are part of that effort.
There is no need for unsourced "news". Just listen to the guy yourself.
Within 5 minutes of his mindless incongruous ramblings, you will be able to make the call yourself.
Everything he says is incoherent nonsense.
-
That's ok. I've listened to enough of Trump's rambling, incoherent commentaries. No need to hear any from Biden.
lol... Sure wish Pence was POTUS

@Applewood
Great. Wonderful response...what a stupid childish cop-out. Typical Liberal deflection.
Yes. Biden is mentally incompetent ... but so is Trump! nanananananaaaa
Trump is not the topic at hand. But a Liberal will always change the topic to Trump.
Well yes, Hitler was bad...but Trump is worse! nananananaaa
But...but we are not talking about Trump. The topic is Hitler.
Yes...well maybe...but Trump is still worse! nananananaaa
It is like arguing with an 8 year old.

Its reality tv alright. Who knows even what's true anymore. Disgusting that the President can't even see that he looks like a child talking about his ratings at Coronavirus pressers non the least. Oh, seems to be doing fine, then he's a self absorbed baby again. And then there's the VP, who Trump asked to head up COVID19 response, but his job has been taken over by Jared Kushner.

Well its pretty hard to launch any criticism when your not any better. But your response is deflection from the real issue. That there isn't a sane person to vote for in 2020. What does seem like a 8 year old child would be a person that sends several texts talking about how popular his briefings are when there is a pandemic.
-

Me too.

So again.
On a thread about Biden's mental health, the only topic the Liberals/NeverTrumps want to discuss is Trump.
What Trump has said, and what Trump has done, with no mention of the topic Biden at all.
So it is basically impossible to have a discussion about Biden. Because any time Biden is brought up, the return responses are always about Trump. Maybe it is just me, but I find that very odd, and very telling.
TDS permeates these people's entire life and their entire train of thought. They cannot have a discussion about anything, anything at all, without invoking Trump somehow/some way, not matter how indirectly it relates to the topic at hand.
Glad it is them and not me. I would hate to live like that.
-
I put no stock in anonymous sources. My newspaper forbade us reporters from citing them. Either we got someone to say it on the record, or we didn't report it at all.
Having said that, I certainly believe that everyone around Biden should be concerned about his mental health. His behavior shows classic signs of dementia. Those of us who have had family members with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia can see it.

Amen. That is why I have found it much easier to bypass their posts. Their posts are mostly to bash Trump.
No, I don't agree with everything that Trump is doing or has done, but to only post to purposefully bash our President with mostly leftist talking points, yes, it's very telling and quite frankly, IMHO it's a waste of time to even respond.

Very well stated.

Since when do people get high marks for mishandling something until it gets out of control,and then screaming for help?
BTW,NOBODY outside of denizens in NYC are ever going to vote for NYC mayor for president. NYC ain't even a part of America.

Oh, the melodrama! For crying out loud -- the comment was made that Biden has of late been spouting gibberish, which must mean he has dementia. What I'm saying is that to my admittedly failing ears, Trump's comments off the cuff or on Twitter, without a prepared text are gibberish too. I didn't say it meant that Trump has dementia too. I don't know if either man is mentally unsound. But I am saying that when Trump talks, much of the time I don't know what the hell he is trying to say.
If you can't see the difference between the mental acuity of the two men, you've lost all ability to look at things objectively. You consider what Trump says to be gibberish simply because you hate the man, and no doubt he's a bit of a blowhard. But Trump states his views with crystal clarity...disagree though you may with what it is he states...he says what he means and means what he says.
Biden, on the other hand, gets lost in mid-sentence...literally babbles and forgets his topics...he IS Joe30330. I don't take any relish in describing Biden as exhibiting signs of dementia as that is terrifying to see in someone who has a 50/50 shot at commanding a massive nuclear arsenal...but his behavior has become self-evident.
Biden's handlers do their best to hide/shelter Joe from long speeches, extemporaneous discussions, complex questioning and ad libs...Trump thrives in any and all of those environments (evidenced by his rallies, his total command of press conferences, and his ability to simply talk off the cuff and motivate his supporters). Trump's handlers and the man himself thrive the MORE they can get him in front of camera's to handle tough questions...which is why his approval goes up with more briefings...Biden's presence on camera erodes his image and support. If Biden were forced to stand up and take an hours worth of direct and hostile questioning from reporters out to get him...he would end up in a cushioned room with no view. In short, they have nothing in common in terms of their mental acuity.
Your effort to paint a view of the two men as being in ANY way equivalent is childish at best, and almost certainly disingenuous on your part. They, intellectually and in terms of articulation and mental acuity, have absolutely nothing in common.

I agree. Pence is a decent, normal human being. In other words, demon-rats would have him for breakfast.
Trump, on the other hand, is better equipped to fight the evil—being that he’s evil himself! (insert demonic cackling here). 8888madkitty

He has shown he is willing to work with everyone, and that’s why you are seeing governors in both parties praise the administration’s efforts to beat this virus.

With all respect, I seriously doubt that no Liberals are on this site is true. And there is nothing wrong with that. Diversity of thought is what makes all the fun. But, when the reflex response to anything/everything is, 'Yes, but Trump is worse!' is childish and annoying. It is a cheap worthless argument that gets old very quickly.

For want of more positive things in my Life right now, I refuse to get into a pizzing contest with either of you gentleman, for now anyways.

Nobody has said "Trump is worse," on this thread and you've claimed it twice. When both Biden and Trump are running for President comparisons are going to be made. Does that make sense to you? President Trump looks to have some mental problems just like Biden so the issue becomes a wash for me.

This is so interesting. I think of many of you as liberal too. Only liberals would cheer on being fiscally irresponsible, and Trumps entire Presidency has been give liberals everything they want.. Liberals cheer on when a President puts communist China before his own country. Like today. We learn that in February when Trump didn't think we should be concerned about COVID19 he flew in tons of medical supplies to Wuhun China. And its been such a bad problem for even health workers in America to get the PPE.
18 tons

How about cheering that half of the attendee's at Trump rallies are liberals. Why wouldn't they be? It turns out he likes to give free stuff and support liberal causes too.

I agree, I’m sick of it. I came here to discuss politics with fellow conservatives, not hear our President be constantly bashed for everything he does or says. I say this as a person who had to be dragged kicking and screaming to vote for Trump. You don’t have to agree with everything he says or does, but if you have to hate on him daily you are only here to stir the pot and drive people away.

You appear to be unable to control yourself within normal decency boundary lines.
I used "TDS" which is a very commonly used term on political forum sites, in the news, tv, etc.
You used "bottom" which is reference to deviant sex.
People don't expect that to be allowed on political forums.

Why respond to their posts.
There are at least three posters on this thread that are going onto my ignore list. There is no sense in responding to them or even reading their posts. One is so clearly a liberal disrupter and the others can’t make one post without bashing the President.
