Biden's Senate defender claims he never saw mental decline until debate: 'I was shocked' | Blaze Media
'He had been and was a strong and capable president.'

Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.) insisted to CNN that he had no clue as to how severely former President Joe Biden's mental acuity had declined until his disastrous debate with then-candidate Donald Trump.
Coons was asked about his long defense of Biden being able to serve a second term after stories from the new book "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House" say Coons knew he would have to be part of the post-debate "cleanup crew."
"Now, there are some people who‘ve written on this. ... If you felt that way, maybe you shouldn‘t have criticized Democrats for their reservations about President Biden at the time. Do you wish you had done things differently at this point?” anchor John Berman asked.
"Well, John, obviously, if I had any idea that President Biden was going to perform as poorly as he did at that debate, I would have been advising him differently and advocating differently. That debate performance was the first time I saw anything like that out of President Biden," Coons replied.
What lies.
1. There was ample evidence of Biden's decline up till that time, everyone saw it.
2. And when they realized Biden was not up to the task, they left him in office why?
