Democrats are starting to confess what we all suspected. They can no longer hide behind their lies.
And a former Biden official admitted a scary truth about the ex-president.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, once a fierce defender of Joe Biden against questions about his sharpness, finally admitted on Sunday that the aging leader never should have chased a second term in the White House.
At 43, Buttigieg distanced himself from Biden’s inner circle, claiming no part in the choices that led to the mess, while essentially siding with Kamala Harris in slamming their former boss for clinging to power too long.
“He should not have run,” Buttigieg declared bluntly on NBC’s Meet the Press. “And if he had made that decision sooner, we might have been better off.”
“But it literally was his decision. Nobody else was able to make that decision,” he added. “And now in front of us, we’re confronted with the decisions that come next. And that’s where we’ve got to focus.”
This marks a sharp turn for Buttigieg, who’s whispered about as a potential 2028 contender, after he spent months sugarcoating Biden’s faltering campaign that crashed and burned, paving the way for Harris to step in and flop against President Trump.
Back in May, when pressed on whether Biden should have sat out the race, Buttigieg hedged with a weak admission: “Maybe, you know, right now, with the benefit of hindsight, I think most people would agree that is the case.”
Then in July, during an NPR Morning Edition chat, he flat-out rejected any talk of Biden slipping mentally, pinning his gaffes on simple exhaustion instead. He echoed that line to the press corps in May, insisting Biden was still on his game.
“Every time I needed something from him from the West Wing, I got it,” Buttigieg said of his ex-boss at the time.
“And the time I worked closest with him in his last year was around the Baltimore bridge collapse. And I want to tell you is that the same president the world saw addressing that, was the president that I was involved with.”
But the dam has broken for top Democrats, who are now scrambling to confront their own cover-ups after Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson’s explosive book Original Sin hit shelves this year.
The tome drops bombshells, revealing that several unnamed cabinet members harbored serious concerns about Biden’s capacity to handle the presidency’s demands.
This wave of second-guessing ties right into Kamala Harris’s own forthcoming book, where she torches Biden for his stubborn push to run again, calling it dangerous.
“‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision’ — we all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized,” Harris writes in the preview from The Atlantic. “Was it grace or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness.”
Buttigieg’s latest remarks seem like a direct nod to Harris’s critique, as he piles on with agreement that Biden’s bid was a colossal mistake from the start.
It’s no shock that these elite insiders are turning on each other now, after propping up a failing administration that handed Trump a landslide victory and exposed the Democrat machine’s rot.
For everyday Americans tired of Washington games, this infighting just proves how out of touch the left’s leadership has been, ignoring clear signs of trouble while the country suffered.
Buttigieg’s flip-flop smells like political survival, as he eyes his own future ambitions in a party reeling from defeat.
