Turning the Tables: How Eric Schmidt Exposed the Democrats’ Double Standard on Biden’s Cognitive Health

During a recent Senate hearing focused on President Biden’s cognitive decline, something remarkable happened: Democrats didn’t just avoid the tough questions—they avoided the hearing altogether. No witnesses, no attendance, and no answers. But Senator Eric Schmidt came prepared, flipping the script and exposing the disconnect between public statements and private concerns within the Democratic Party.

Ignoring the Obvious

From the outset, Schmidt highlighted the Democrats’ refusal to participate. Instead of facing the issue head-on, they chose to ignore both the hearing and mounting questions about President Biden’s mental fitness. The minority’s silence spoke volumes, especially as Schmidt rolled a series of video clips showing top Biden administration officials and Democratic leaders insisting that the president was “sharp,” “focused,” and “capable”—despite growing public skepticism.

Public Praise vs. Private Panic

On camera, officials like Nancy Pelosi and other prominent Democrats lavished praise on Biden’s mental acuity, calling him wise, strategic, and detail-oriented. Yet, behind the scenes, reports surfaced of secret talks to remove Biden from the 2024 ticket and frantic phone calls to find alternatives. According to books by NBC’s Jonathan Allen and The Hill’s Amy Parnes, Democratic insiders began planning for Biden’s withdrawal as early as 2023, all while maintaining a public façade that everything was fine.

A Shift in Strategy

As public confidence waned, Democrats shifted their narrative. Instead of portraying Biden as “perfectly capable,” they began emphasizing his “wisdom” and “seasoned experience.” Yet even this change couldn’t mask the growing disconnect. Some of Biden’s closest aides, including his own doctor, pleaded the Fifth during House Oversight Committee depositions investigating the president’s cognitive health. Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continued to defend Biden, attacking fellow Democrats for questioning his capabilities.

Who Was Really in Charge?

After presenting the evidence, Schmidt asked a crucial question: Who was actually running the country during Biden’s presidency? Witnesses struggled to provide clear answers, pointing out the lack of documentation showing Biden’s direct involvement in executive decisions. The Oversight Committee’s findings were damning—no records demonstrated that Biden himself made all the decisions attributed to him, and there were claims of coordinated efforts to mislead the public about his cognitive state.

Media Complicity and Double Standards

Schmidt didn’t let the media off the hook. He handed the floor to Sean Spicer, who contrasted the relentless scrutiny faced by President Trump with the media’s lack of curiosity about Biden’s health. While Trump’s every move was questioned and dissected, Biden’s repeated gaffes, confusion, and physical mishaps were largely ignored. Spicer pointed out that the media seemed “afraid to go there,” highlighting a glaring double standard in coverage.

Profiting from Chaos

Ironically, some journalists who helped shape the narrative are now profiting from the very events they distorted, releasing books and commentary about the chaos they helped create. This cycle of spin and profit has only deepened public distrust in the political and media establishment.

The Takeaway

Eric Schmidt’s approach at the hearing was a powerful example of turning political rhetoric against its source. By exposing the gap between public praise and private panic, he highlighted the dangers of partisan spin and media complicity. The hearing underscored a growing crisis of credibility—not just for President Biden, but for the entire system that keeps trying to tell Americans not to “believe their lying eyes.”

In a world where truth is often sacrificed for political convenience, Schmidt’s strategy was a reminder to keep thinking critically, ask tough questions, and demand transparency from our leaders—no matter which party they belong to.
