Democrat Rep. Ami Bera (CA) on Tuesday admitted that “maybe we should have asked questions” and that he thinks maybe Joe Biden wasn’t the one running the country during his presidency.
This comes as more and more questions arise surrounding who was really running the country, especially with the Biden autopen scandal, which revealed that many official actions during the sham Biden presidency were fraudulently signed with an automated signature.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) has alleged that staffers in Joe Biden’s administration engaged in a “cash for clemency” scheme, using an autopen to issue pardons in exchange for financial payoffs.
Outgoing Acting US Attorney for DC and now incoming Pardon Attorney, Ed Martin, announced earlier this month that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons amid the growing autopen scandal.
President Trump recently said in a fiery Truth Social post that the autopen conspirators “stole the Presidency of the United States, and put us in Great Danger.” He continued, “This is TREASON at the Highest Level! They did it to destroy our Country.”
Leland Vittert, host of NewsNation’s “On Balance,” pointed out that Bera previously failed to acknowledge Biden’s cognitive decline following the first presidential debate in June.
Bera previously admitted that it “was not a good debate performance.” Still, he defended Biden in the post-debate interview, stating, “The President’s had a remarkable three and a half year run. I think he’s accomplished a lot. We’ve accomplished a lot that’s good for the country.”
Vittert pressed him on how the Democrats need to atone for their dishonesty during Biden’s term, and Bera admitted that “in hindsight,” Biden was “in decline.”
The whole country could see it even before the 2020 election, but Democrats are feigning ignorance and acting like they just noticed. “We all saw it,” said Vittert, pointing out the countless times Biden wandered on stage, fell, got confused, and made absurd gaffes while speaking.
This is when Bera finally said the truth, noting that “maybe it wasn’t the president that was doing this” in reference to the policies Democrats passed.
WATCH:
Vittert: In retrospect, don’t you have to say to the American people, we screwed up by not acknowledging what everyone saw? We screwed up not putting the country first and putting party first?
Bera: I’d separate party, I look at the policy that we were able to pass, what we were able to do in the foreign policy space, re-establishing alliances. We were doing a lot. Now, was that Joe Biden or was that the people around him?
Vittert: Politburo?
Bera: I don’t think that was a Politburo, but I think he had really strong folks around him. Now, yes, we can go back in hindsight and say maybe it wasn’t the president that was doing this and maybe we should’ve asked questions. Dean Phillips did that, and kudos to Dean Phillips, he saw something that we didn’t. And I think Dean deserves credit for it.
