Fox News contributor Jason Rantz published an opinion-editor Saturday morning, giving his take on the group of people he believes were really running the White House during the four years Joe Biden was in office.
The op-ed beings:
For years, conservative media, lawmakers and talking heads have been sounding the alarm about President Joe Biden’s cognitive free fall. And for years, left-wing media, lawmakers and their loyal mouthpieces waved it off with the same condescending dismissal — accusing us of lying, fear-mongering or worse. Some even went so far as to say they couldn’t keep up with Biden’s supposed brilliance and jam-packed schedule of what was mostly just one morning briefing and two mid-afternoon naps.
Fast-forward to the post-presidency. Now that Biden has shuffled out of office, left-wing media seems to be waking up to the glaringly obvious. The New York Times of all places — yes, the same paper that acted as Biden’s PR firm — has revealed that he relied on teleprompters during intimate fundraisers in private homes. At events where he was supposed to come across as casual and personable, he needed scripted prompts. Donors weren’t exactly brimming with confidence.
House Speaker Mike Johnson dropped a bombshell about a January 2024 meeting in which Biden was apparently stunned to learn he had signed an executive order halting liquefied natural gas exports just weeks earlier. He repeatedly denied even knowing about it. Johnson believed Biden didn’t know what he signed, leaving him with a terrifying question: “Who is running the country?”
Spoiler alert: It wasn’t Biden. And to answer Johnson’s question, there are at least five shadowy figures who might have been behind the wheel — or rather, letting the car roll downhill with no one on the brakes.
Rantz then shared a list of 5 people he believes were the main ones responsible for telling Joe Biden what to say and what to sign:
1 – Former President Barack Obama. Rantz recalled Obama’s 2020 interview with Stephen Colbert where he quipped that he’d love a third term where he could play puppet master while someone else carried out his orders.
“Obama wasn’t exactly subtle about staying in the picture. He was offering Biden advice, headlining White House events, and reportedly holding closed-door meetings with key officials,” Rantz wrote.
2 – First Lady Jill Biden. “The first lady was Joe Biden’s handler, coach and babysitter,” Rantz wrote. He also recalled Jill Biden’s comment after Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance against Trump, in which she cheered, “You answered every question! You knew all the facts!”
3 – Biden’s Chief of Staff Jeff Zients. Rantz said Zients had quietly emerged as one of the most powerful figures in the administration, was “the behind-the-scenes manager of the White House with a president who didn’t grasp what was really going on” and “played a crucial part in shaping and managing the administration’s day-to-day agenda.”
4 – National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. Sullivan was instrumental in orchestrating major policies, such as the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, where he managed the planning process, Rantz wrote. He added, “…it’s plausible that Sullivan functioned as a de facto leader within the administration.”
5 – A purple-haired 24-year-old intern who moonlights as a TikTok influencer. Rantz didn’t put a name to this one, implying it could have been a collection of woke progressives.
“The radical shift in gender and race policies under the Biden administration screams of a progressive activist completely out of touch with mainstream America,” Rantz wrote.
