The Left is eating their own. There’s no telling how far they’ll go.
And now a former Biden staffer ripped into Democrats for one despicable move.
Debate Prep Revelations Spark Outrage
A bombshell book about the 2024 presidential campaign has left former Biden campaign aide Ashley Allison reeling. On Wednesday, she candidly shared her sense of betrayal, saying she felt “lied to” after reading claims from ex-Biden White House chief of staff Ron Klain. According to Klain, former President Biden was visibly “exhausted” and “out of it” while gearing up for the pivotal June debate.
CNN host Abby Phillip pressed Allison, who contributed to the Biden-Harris 2020 effort, asking, “Do you feel lied to?” Allison didn’t mince words: “Yes. I think I hadn’t been around the president before that debate, and I worked for Joe Biden. And if the people around him knew that he was not capable, it is unacceptable to me that they allowed him to go onto that stage. I deserve better as a voter, not even as a Democrat, as a voter and as an American, I do.”
Insider Accounts Paint a Troubling Picture
The allegations stem from Chris Whipple’s latest book, with excerpts published by The Guardian revealing Klain’s stark observations. He described Biden as “fatigued, befuddled, and disengaged” during debate prep, admitting to Whipple that he was “startled” by the former president’s exhaustion.
Klain reportedly noted Biden seemed “out of it,” a far cry from the sharp leader expected in such a high-stakes moment.
The account has fueled a firestorm of reactions, raising questions about what Biden’s inner circle knew—and when. Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton didn’t hold back, labeling it a blatant “cover-up” that obscured the truth from the public.
Allies Grapple with Biden’s Debate Fallout
On CNN, Phillip turned to “The View” co-host Ana Navarro, a longtime Biden ally, for her take. Highlighting a bizarre detail from the book, Phillip noted, “Ana, I know that Joe Biden is a friend.
But in this excerpt, the part about the pool, he went off – this is in the middle of the debate prep – went off to the pool, and he took a nap. And that was before the biggest debate of this campaign. That’s not even the governance of the country.”
She continued, “So Joe Biden, maybe he has the best intentions. I’m sure that you believe that. But the right decision, it seems pretty unequivocally, is that he should not have run for reelection.” Navarro, who’d been texting with Klain, pushed back, saying his words were misconstrued.
She insisted something odd occurred around the debate, recalling, “I’ve known Joe Biden for over 25 years. Certainly, the Joe Biden today is not the Joe Biden of five years ago, 20 years ago, 15 years ago, 25 years ago. It’s not. But also, I will tell you, and I think that comes out also in the book and the excerpt that I read, something clearly happened that day, around those days, that was not the case the day after.”
Navarro added, “I saw Joe Biden, 24 hours after that debate, here in New York. He was a completely different person.”
She later reflected, “I saw Joe Biden when he came to ‘The View’ after he dropped out, and he was a completely different person than what we saw at that debate. What happened around those days, I don’t know. And can I tell you something? I don’t care, because I want to talk about the future and how we fight Donald Trump and how we get rid of Donald Trump.”
Meanwhile, Allison doubled down, declaring, “What we are hearing right now is unacceptable to me, and I am a Democrat. That night of the debate was terrifying for many, many, it was scary.
It hurt my heart, but it was very clear that that might not have been the first time. And I find that unacceptable. I would find that unacceptable in a Trump Administration, in an Obama Administration, in a Bush administration and in a Biden administration.”
