Axios’ Alex Thompson Destroys Every Excuse that the W.H. Offered on Biden’s Debate Disaster

‘We really don‘t have enough time in the segment to go through this shifting explanations’

EXCERPT:

THOMPSON: "I mean, we really don‘t have enough time in the segment to go through the shifting explanations, because it is -- listen, they didn‘t even say that he had a cold until an hour into the debate. Then earlier this week — you know, Joe Biden has actually really never even referenced that he had a cold. Then Karine Jean-Pierre said that he actually had no cold medication when he said he had a cold. Then he said, 'Oh, it's really about the travel.' But then you also have to remember that he was already in the Eastern time zone for about 10 days before the debate. Yes, he traveled a lot in early June, but they arranged this to have a lot of downtime. And the fact of the matter is that the White House has still not been able to try to hone in on an explanation for why Joe Biden at the debate could not even string simple sentences together, could not really explain his -- or articulate his case against Donald Trump. And that is part of the reason why the crisis is growing and the dissent is growing. And that‘s why the next, you know, five to six days is so critical for Joe Biden to allay those fears."
