EXCERPT:
TAPPER: “Democratic officials have tried to spin this in many ways. They said President Biden just had a cold. They said it was just one off night, akin to when President Obama in 2012 was rusty and seemed a little huffy. But behind the scenes, make no mistake, most Democratic officials witnessed the same shocking spectacle that you did. The difficulty that the presumptive Democratic nominee, the current president of the United States, had just articulating his basic thoughts during the 90 minutes of the debate — the spinning is all very reminiscent of the George Orwell quote from the book 1984 that I invoked five years ago for a different situation and a different president. It’s relevant again today.”
