First lady Jill Biden sat down for an exclusive Interview with Mika Brzezinski on āMorning Joeā and gave America a taste of how President Joe Bidenās Campaign planned to handle the question of his advanced age ā but it might not have gotten precisely the response she was hoping for.
āYour husband is 81,ā Brzezinski said in a clip of the Interview shared by MSNBC on X. āAt the end of a second term, heād be 86. As his life partner of 46 years, is there a part of you that is worried about his age and Health? Can he do it?ā
Biden didnāt hesitate to defend the presidentās energy level and ability.
āHe can do it,ā she responded. āAnd I see Joe every day. I see him out, you know, traveling around this country. I see his vigor; I see his energy; I see his passion. Every single day.ā
āMm-hmm,ā Brzezinski seemed to agree. āSo, to those who say: āI canāt vote for Joe Biden. Heās too old.ā What do you say?ā
āI say his age is an asset,ā Biden answered.
āHa!ā the āMorning Joeā co-host responded. Iām not sure laughter was what the first lady had been going for, but itās possible that Brzezinski, an obviously friendly interviewer, wasnāt laughing at her so much asĀ with her ā expressing appreciation, as it were, for Bidenās spin on the question of her husbandās age.
My supposition ā which I admit is all it is, as Brzezinski was off-camera when she laughed, so there is no body language or facial expression for me to use to help provide some context for her ejaculation ā did seem to be supported by her next words.
āHeās wise,ā Brzezinski said, essentially making Bidenās argument for her.
āYes, Biden agreed. āHeās wise. He has wisdom. He has experience. He knows every leader on the world stage. Heās lived history; he knows history. Heās thoughtful in his decisions.
āHe is the right man, or the right person, for the job at this moment in history,ā she concluded.
As a side note, Iām not sure what she gained by correcting herself from āright manā to āright personā there; itās not like calling him the āright manā would mean that a woman couldnāt hold the role, but Iāve given up on trying to make sense of the verbal games played by the left.
Regardless, an August poll by The Associated Press and the National Opinion Research Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago had 77 percent of respondents saying that Biden was ātoo old to effectively serve another 4-year term as president.ā
The same poll found 51 percent of responding adults ā still a majority, but obviously a much smaller one ā saying the same thing of Trump.
At any rate, you can watch the exchange between the two Joe Biden fans below.
Have 81 years of life given Joe Biden wisdom? Itās certainly possible. āWisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days,ā Job tells us, and who am I to argue with him?
However, as Job goes on to say, that wisdom comes from God Himself, from spending time with Him, from enjoying a personal relationship with Him. And despite the fact that he refers to his Catholicism on a regular basis, Bidenās actions rarely seem to indicate the presence of a relationship with the Father.
Only God knows for sure, of course, and while Iām certain Iāll get emails from people upbraiding me for being judgmental (ironically, the people who write those emails never seem to understand that they cannot write them without being judgmental themselves), the fact is that Jesus commanded us to judge, but to do so wisely, by different standards than the world uses: āDo not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment,ā He said in John 7:24.
By his appearance, Joe Biden has enough white hair to qualify for the āwise statesmanā role, I canāt deny it. But if we judge with āright judgment,ā as Christ commanded, well ā¦
That might be another story.
