Ashley Biden, daughter of former President Joe Biden, has responded to ongoing reports about her father’s cognitive decline while in office, calling them ‘disrespectful and untrue.’ In a scathing Instagram post, she criticized what she described as ‘noise’ from ‘fake news’ about Biden’s mental state, emphasizing her gratitude for the support her family has received.
She defended her father’s dedication to his presidential duties, stating that he ‘aged, YES! As we all do! And the stress of the presidency accelerates. But he was always MORE than capable of doing the job.’ Ashley highlighted her father’s hard work and commitment, calling him ‘a damn good one’ who took his duty to the country ‘very seriously.’
Her comments come after her granddaughter Naomi Biden also rebuked the book ‘Original Sin,’ which alleges Biden’s mental and physical decline while in office. Naomi criticized the book as ‘political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,’ accusing it of relying on ‘unnamed, anonymous sources pushing a self-serving false narrative.’
The book, authored by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, claims that Biden’s administration made ‘frantic efforts’ to cover up his cognitive decline. Despite these allegations, the Bidens have consistently denied any wrongdoing, with Ashley emphasizing that the media’s portrayal is ‘noise/static’ created by those ‘committed to perpetuating and profiting from some real BS.’ As the controversy continues, the Bidens remain steadfast in their defense of their father’s capabilities and integrity.
