Jill Biden's tales spin a web of self-serving fantasy
Jonathan Turley
Jill Biden’s book is not even out yet — and she’s already trying to get it displayed on both the fiction and the non-fiction shelves.
From her husband’s mental decline to the pardoning of her son, the former first lady has moved from the historical to the fanciful.
Thomas Jefferson once wrote that “honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom” — but if her promotional interviews are any measure, that chapter appears to be entirely missing from “View from the East Wing: A Memoir.”
Last week Biden faced a torrent of criticism, including from Democrats like her former spokesperson, over her claim to CBS News that she thought her husband’s debate meltdown meant he might have been suffering a stroke.
The interviewer didn’t mention the fact that Biden famously declared at the time that her husband was brilliant in the debate, and denied he was showing signs of mental decline.
Now, Jill Biden is rewriting the history of one of the most infamous lies Joe Biden ever spun.
