“At This Point, It’s Elder Abuse” Alex Stein Slams Jill Biden for Pushing Joe to Run in 2024
Comedian Alex Stein has harshly criticized First Lady Jill Biden for pressuring her husband, President Joe Biden, to continue his 2024 presidential campaign despite his advanced age. Labeling it as ‘elder abuse,’ Stein told Sky News host Rita Panahi, “Jill Biden, I have no idea why she wants to keep on letting Joe Biden embarrass himself, embarrass the country.
At this point, it’s elder abuse. Joe Biden deserves to take a vacation. Let the guy go on vacation and eat some ice cream,” Stein mocked. Meanwhile, the Democratic party has been in damage control mode following Biden’s lackluster performance in the first presidential debate.
Many on the internet echoed Stein’s sentiments, expressing surprise at Jill Biden’s insistence on keeping her husband in the political spotlight despite his apparent cognitive decline. An X user opined, “I’m afraid Jill Biden needs to be brought up on elder abuse charges. She’s the one pushing Joe to do all this. That’s one power-hungry bitch.”
Another critic fumed, “Jill Biden has to be one of the worst human beings on this planet for what she and the Biden campaign did to @JoeBiden — rolling him out on stage to engage in a battle of wits while unarmed — is elder abuse, plain and simple. No one who saw him in the 2020 debates would recognize him as the same man, because he is a ghost of his former self. Images don’t lie. You have no shame @FLOTUS.”
Another netizen voiced, “Jill Biden has to be beyond vile to do that to her husband. She knows how she’s perceived. She knows people are accusing her of elder abuse. She doesn’t care. She wants power.” An additional user echoed, “Doesn’t get any cringier than that. Jill Biden must desperately want to stay on as first lady. A lady who commits elder abuse.”
Chiming in, an X user penned, “If #JillBiden doesn’t agree to this she must be charged with extreme elder abuse and court ordered to stay away from her husband till proper attention to these things are done cause she isn’t doing what a wife should be doing.”
A critic tweeted, “One thing we learned from last night was the pure cruelty of Jill Biden. Here, she talks to the President of the United States like a toddler while he’s absent of any dignity and seemingly unaware of his surroundings. This is elder abuse.” Others sympathized with Biden, with one user saying, “After watching this, I am fully convinced Jill Biden is his handler and Joe has no clue what the hell is going on.
This is sad. It’s straight-up elder abuse. Looks like he’s crying.” According to The Daily Mail, Joe Biden primarily listens to the First Lady. A source revealed, “If she decides there should be a change of course, there will be a change of course.” Following Biden’s ‘worrisome’ performance, a few high-profile donors have distanced themselves from a $250,000-per-head Hamptons event at hedge fund investor Barry Rosenstein’s 18-acre oceanfront mansion.
Meanwhile, the Bidens have taken a much-needed break at Camp David. Their retreat to the 125-acre country cabin in the Maryland hills comes as his team maintains that his withdrawal from the campaign would cause “weeks of chaos,” labeling the concerns of some Democrats as the product of the “bedwetting brigade.” Rob Flaherty, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, argued in an email following the president’s visit to the Hamptons, where he was confronted by individuals holding ‘Drop out’ banners.
“First of all, Joe Biden is going to be the Democratic nominee, period. End of story. Voters voted. He won overwhelmingly,” Flaherty stated. “And if he were to drop out, it would lead to weeks of chaos, internal food fighting, and a bunch of candidates who limp into a brutal floor fight at the convention, all while Donald Trump has time to speak to American voters uncontested.”
