From the Daily Caller: MSNBC host Jen Psaki appeared frustrated as Democratic strategist Basil Smikle criticized President Joe Biden’s mental fitness Thursday on “All In with Chris Hayes.”
While attempting to prove he is equipped to serve a second term, Biden called Vice President Kamala Harris “Vice President Trump” at a solo press conference Thursday evening. Shortly after the presser, Smikle unloaded on Biden’s place on the Democratic ticket, questioning whether the Democratic incumbent is capable of completing his first term as president.
Psaki insisted that the Democratic division on Biden was simply due to the president’s age and “whether he can defeat” presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Smikle agreed that the Democratic Party was in a state of “purgatory” regarding “down ballot” races before breaking with the former Biden press secretary on the president’s mental fitness.
“This is a purgatory. This is a terrible, terrible moment, and we cannot have another week of this because we’re done. We’re lost. We’re done. It’s insurmountable….” Smikle began.
“If you’re standing up, if you are a Democrat right now and you’re standing up and you’re saying that Joe Biden is not fit to run for office and and therefore should not be in office in January, you’re saying he’s also not fit to be president right now. What the Hell are you doing?” he also declared.
