Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) speculated that former first lady Jill Biden was actually leading the country while her husband was “incapacitated,” comparing the alleged situation to what happened during President Woodrow Wilson’s administration.
Congressional Republicans are investigating the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, of which Schmitt said the voting public “deserve to know” who was leading the country during the Biden presidency. He explained that the president is “the one person that’s actually elected by the whole country,” but that Biden’s inability to serve the public was “on full display,” with whistleblowers even saying the former president could not find the Oval Office’s bathroom.
“So this was, I think, in my view, a scandal bigger than Watergate,” Schmitt explained on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle. “And so, in addition to just looking backwards and trying to figure out who was actually running the country, these left-wing radicals who opened up our borders and caused inflation and had a wandering foreign policy, what do we do about it moving forward? How can you have a mechanism, actually, that would address this? And I’ve said often that Joe Biden is the worst president this side of Woodrow Wilson. Ironically, you had the same problem 100 years ago with Woodrow Wilson, where he was incapacitated and his wife was running the government. That’s probably what was happening here, too.”
