Dem Rep. Crockett Says Biden’s Mental Fitness Is ‘A Thousand Times Better’ Than Trump’s

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, defended former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity on Katie Couric’s “Next Question” podcast on Thursday amid a House Oversight Committee investigation into the alleged cover-up of the former president’s mental decline.

Crockett claimed that she “never saw anything” from Biden that would have made her wonder about his mental sharpness, and argued that his mental acuity was “supreme” to President Donald Trump’s.

The House Oversight Committee, led by Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is leading an investigation into an alleged cover-up of Biden’s mental decline.

The investigation, specifically, is into whether those in Biden’s inner circle colluded to hide the former president’s declining mental acuity and used methods to circumvent the former president when it came to the issuance of important orders, such as through the use of an autopen tool used to mimic the president’s signature.

The Texas congresswoman, widely seen as a rising star in the Democratic Party, told Couric that even as reports continue to come out in the press detailing the former president’s mental decline, she doesn’t have a single regret about standing with Biden.

“The average person has not been given the level of access that the average member of Congress has to the president,” she told Couric. “I never saw anything in Joe Biden that made me wonder whatsoever, and it’s not that I was with Joe Biden every single day, that’s for sure. But as I talked about my grandparents — the way that I would describe Joe is like, I mean, he’s a granddaddy, right?”
