House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appears to be trying out the “cognitively unfit” line on President Donald Trump.
The problem is that he had absolutely nothing to say about the mental fitness of former President Joe Biden, who reportedly had to be strong-armed out of the 2024 race by his own party so they could run someone who might be able to win. (Spoiler Alert: That didn’t work either.)
The ironic accusation came on Tuesday’s episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast when co-host Ben Meiselas recalled several moments in which he says Trump’s own fitness could be questioned.

Jeffries was only too happy to jump on that bandwagon.
“Trump spent the last year-and-a-half questioning the cognitive ability of President Joe Biden,” Jeffries responded, “notwithstanding many of the legislative accomplishments that Donald Trump could only wish he got over the finish line; and so, I think it’s fair that a lot of Americans across the country that I run into are questioning whether Donald Trump is actually fit, at this point, to be able to carry out the duties of the United States of America, in terms of being the president and the commander-in-chief.”
X users had some things to say about the minority leader’s statement:
We knew this was coming. Some of them were even questioning his mental fitness during the campaign. They’re the biggest hypocrites ever. All they stand for is opposing Trump.

Who are these made up people Dollar Store Obama leaves his ivory Tower to go speak to?

They lost every ounce of credibility on the mental fitness front over Biden’s 4 years.

Not Americans, communist Democrats. As if any self respecting real American would even talk to him!
