Hailing Biden after they knifed him, Democrats are treating Americans like we are blind idiots

The only person who gave it to us straight was the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, John Fetterman.
“Spare me the soaring accolades from people with their fingerprints on the blades in our president’s back,”
Spare us the charade, will ya.
After Democrat bigs knifed Joe Biden in the back, wresting the candidacy from his stubborn, locked grip, they rushed to valorize him with effusive praise and glowing political obituaries.
They’ve called him a “patriot” and a “hero.” His Sunday letter bowing out of the presidential race was selfless and for the good of the country — said the very people who took him out behind the shed because the feeble 81-year-old president wouldn’t relinquish the reins himself.
Remember, just two weeks ago, a fatigued Biden got on national television and pledged that he was staying in the presidential race, unless God himself intervened.
“It depends on … on if the Lord Almighty comes down and tells me that, I might do that,” Biden told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
But it turns out that the trinity of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer are more powerful — especially with the backing of the big-money donor class and Hollywood hotshots. A Biden family source told The Post how top Dems, in a calculated campaign to remove the president, threatened him with the 25th Amendment in a “palace coup.”
After doing the deed, they donned their team Dem jerseys, put on a smile and honored their “dear” friend Joe. Good ol’ Joe.
Take for example, former President Obama’s fawning ode to Biden, which he posted on Medium.
“It’s a testament to Joe Biden’s love of country — and a historic example of a genuine public servant once again putting the interests of the American people ahead of his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow.”
Pelosi tweeted, “President Joe Biden is a patriotic American who has always put our country first.”
Schumer praised: “Joe, today shows you are a true patriot and great American.”
Meanwhile, we all know that, behind closed doors, they were likely calling him four-letter words not suitable for a family newspaper.
The media followed suit. Van Jones cried on CNN and said Biden showed patriotism. And New York Times writer Ezra Klein called him “an actual hero.” The list goes on and on. It was undignified.
The only person who gave it to us straight was the Democratic Senator from Pennsylvania, John Fetterman.
“Spare me the soaring accolades from people with their fingerprints on the blades in our president’s back,” he told reporter Selena Zito.
How refreshing.
But there are two inconvenient realities here. Biden was clearly bullied into submission by party leaders, given backroom wedgies until he said “uncle.” He didn’t want to do this.
And our 46th president is no hero.
Biden, who in 2020 called himself a “bridge” to a new generation, pulled up that very bridge and made himself an island. The people around him shielded him from the real rigors of the job. They also shielded us from the real Biden: an elderly man who is feeble and cognitively diminished.
And when he finally dropped out on a Sunday afternoon, he did so by posting a letter to X — not on White House letterhead but on his own stationery.
“I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my term,” he wrote.
He then, ostensibly, peaced out. In this historic moment, there was no address to the American people, not even a picture of him. No sign of life from our selfless Captain America.
Then he followed up on X with an endorsement of Kamala Harris, who seems ready to cruise to the candidacy by coronation.
But no one is fooled.
The country is already weary from months of being lied to by many in the media, the administration and, don’t forget, Harris — who assured us after Biden’s disastrous debate that he was in fighting form.
We were told that disturbing footage of Biden was “cheap fakes.” That his age is his “super power” or, as MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said of Biden just months ago, that he is “more than cogent.” The best he’s ever been.
The curtain has slipped and we can see how shoddy this operation to save democracy really is.
All this so called heroism and not a single noble action to be found. Only craven political players trying to save their proximity to power, while treating Americans like idiots in the process.
