From Breitbart: Democrat Congressman Ritchie Torres of New York is slamming the “continuing pattern of denial and self-delusion” over President Joe Biden’s mental fitness, insisting that further media appearances will not offer the 81-year-old president the “political salvation” he so badly seeks.
In a now-viral post shared on social media Thursday, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) highlighted what he described as a persistent issue within the Biden campaign, whereby the “narrative that the President simply had one bad debate performance reflects a continuing pattern of denial and self-delusion.”
“The President did not just have one ‘bad debate,’” he explained. “The reality we saw with our own ‘lying eyes’ is evidence of a deeper challenge.”
Torres added: “The notion that the President is going to be saved by this interview or that press conference misses the forest for trees.
“I will respectfully listen to the President’s press conference tonight and the interview on Monday evening but the ability to survive a single public appearance is the bear minimum of what should be expected of a Democratic Nominee. Neither the press conference tonight nor the NBC interview on Monday evening will offer the President the political salvation he seems to be seeking.
“If the President formally becomes the Democratic Nominee, we will have no choice but to make the best of a complicated situation. But there is no point in denying the complications.”

You represent my state and I am ashamed. How can you turn your back on the best and most successful Presidents – disgusting.

He’s been an exceptional #POTUS, and if we work hard so that he is re-elected, he’ll CONTINUE to be a great #POTUS.
C’mon man!
