Prominent commentators Joe Rogan and Bill Maher have joined the chorus of critics chastising Democrats for their reluctance to criticize President Biden, arguing that such suppression erodes their credibility and undermines their ability to address legitimate concerns.
Prominent commentators Joe Rogan and Bill Maher have sounded the alarm, condemning the Democrats' unwavering defense of President Biden and their suppression of criticism against him. They argue that this approach erodes their credibility and undermines their ability to address legitimate concerns.
Rogan, in an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience," drew parallels between the Democrats' protection of Biden and the bumbling leaders of historic empires before their collapse. He denounced their unwillingness to criticize Biden, even amidst glaring gaffes and cognitive lapses, as a "crazy" denial of reality.
"All these f---ing people, because they don't want the other guy to win, are just lying to everyone and ruining their credibility," Rogan asserted.
Maher echoed Rogan's sentiments during a guest appearance on ABC's "The View." Co-host Joy Behar expressed hesitation to criticize Biden, fearing it could empower Trump. Maher countered that such suppression of criticism undermines their bond with the audience.
"I think you lose all credibility," Maher declared. "My bond with my audience has always been I don't pull a punch... you're not going to like everything I say but you know I'm saying what I really think is true."
Rogan further slammed the Democrats for defending Biden at all costs, arguing that they have destroyed their own credibility. He called for a reasonable centrist Democrat who makes sense, but lamented the unwillingness of the party to present such a candidate.
"They don't want to do that," Rogan said of Biden and his supporters. "They just want to keep trotting this crazy situation out... making s--- up and just saying things and everybody has to correct him."
Rogan's criticism stems from a history of concerns he has raised about Biden's mental acuity. He has previously mocked California Governor Gavin Newsom's enthusiastic praise of Biden, suggesting that such behavior is insincere and misleading to those who prioritize substance over loyalty.
The duo's criticism highlights the growing discontent with the Democrats' approach to handling Biden's presidency. As Biden's approval ratings continue to languish and his cognitive abilities come under scrutiny, the party's unwillingness to address these concerns is drawing increasing criticism.
Rogan and Maher's arguments underscore the importance of maintaining credibility and transparency in politics. They contend that by shielding Biden from criticism, Democrats are eroding their bond with the electorate and diminishing their ability to effectively address the challenges facing the nation.
