Famous left-leaning comedian Jon Stewart recently expressed his opinion that Biden, at the age of 81, is too “f***ing old” to serve as the President of the United States. As Biden approaches the end of his term, voters have become increasingly concerned about Biden’s elderly age and its implications for his physical and mental fitness.
Stewart commented on Biden’s mental state during a comedy skit at the “Netflix is a joke” festival. He also suggested that Democrats are trying to discourage people from talking about his age but explained people can’t ignore the obvious. “I know liberals say, ‘Don’t say Joe Biden is old’ — don’t say what people see with their own eyes! You can say it, he can’t hear us,” Stewart said.
He continued, “I know you know how f*cking old he is, and I know you don’t want to say it because Trump is so scary, but he’s so fucking old. When you watch him on television, you’re nervous, aren’t ya?” Stewart added, “I’m not saying that Biden can’t contribute to society, he just shouldn’t be president.”
While Steward was primarily addressing Biden, he also voiced his disappointment that former President Donald Trump, 77, is the other candidate. “Why are we allowing this? And now we’re going to have a president that’s the two oldest people that have ever run for the office of the presidency,” he said.
This isn’t the first instance that Stewart has addressed concerns about Biden’s age, where he sparked controversy earlier this year for pointing out other troubling pieces of evidence that the president’s memory is challenged.
“This guy couldn’t remember stuff during his deposition. Do you understand what that means? He had no ability to recall very basic things under questioning. The footage of the president unable to recall simple facts must have been brutal to watch,” the comedian said earlier this year.
Earlier this year, Biden gave his State of the Union speech, where there was significant speculation over whether the president would be able to deliver it successfully. However, Stewart used the opportunity to backtrack on his prior criticism of Biden, some suggesting he had caved in to pressure from the left.
“Which one of you pricks wants to fight? Put up your dukes! Biden is back, baby! I know that all that all the haters have been out there, talking their sh*t — he is too old, he is too weak, he won’t be able to make it, he is — I see you haters. I know who you are! (pulls mirror, blows himself a kiss),” he went on.
“Of course, by the way, the State Of The Union was just the Democratic message. But does that message survive a concise and intelligent rebuttal? It happened on Thursday. I should read the whole thing, though I should. Would it survive a concise and intelligent rebuttal from the G.O.P.? Or whatever it was that Alabama senator Katie Britt,” Stewart said.
Throughout Biden’s presidency, there have been innumerable gaffes and public slip-ups during his engagements, shaking the confidence of Americans. Polling suggests that the vast majority of voters believe Biden is too old to serve as President, posing a challenge for the Biden campaign as we draw closer to the election.
