Kayleigh McEnany Confronts Dem To Her Face For Claiming Biden ‘Was Mentally Capable’ Of Being President

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany confronted former Obama administration official Marie Harf Friday on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” over claims former President Joe Biden was “mentally capable” of handling the duties of the presidency.

Several newly-released books detail Biden’s health issues and cognitive decline during his term in office, with one book, “Original Sin,” by CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson, reporting the former president failed to recognize Academy Award-winning actor George Clooney, a long-time supporter. Harf said that while she believed Biden should not have run for reelection, she also disputed reports of his declining capacity.

“What’s interesting is the quote you just read generally refers to physical health. We all saw Biden’s physical health deteriorating in front of 🇺🇸US,” Harf said, with McEnany, a former White House press secretary, interjecting with, “And mental.”

“Well, that is a separate question. I haven’t seen evidence presented by a doctor or someone else that says Joe Biden was not mentally able to do the job,” Harf claimed, leading McEnany to ask, “Did you watch the debate?”
