Biden has dementia, Kamala Harris might replace him, says former Fox News host

Tucker Carlson, an American conservative political commentator and writer, claimed that President Joe Biden "has dementia" and accused the mainstream media of concealing this fact. The former Fox News host also claimed that Democrats would soon replace Biden with Vice-President Kamala Harris.

The claim comes days after the first presidential debate held on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia, where Biden's performance came as a shocker for most Democrats.

Speaking at Sydney's International Convention Centre in front of 4,000 fans, Carlson said the "Democratic operatives posing as journalists" on CNN feigned disbelief that Joe Biden "has dementia", reported Sky News.

Carlson said that for the media today to act as if they've just received the diagnosis, claiming it's shocking and that he can't run for president.

"Either they're really stupid ... or they're liars, they're truly dishonest, they're hiding the obvious from you," said Carlson, reported Sky News.

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson claimed on Monday that several prominent Democratic leaders have suggested President Joe Biden has "brain damaged" and might be removed from running for office again.

Carlson sees this as a critical moment for both the Democratic and Republican parties, especially with former President Donald Trump's upcoming sentencing on July 11.

"Biden is done. Bet on it. Too many prominent Democrats have suggested he’s brain-damaged. They can’t walk that back. They have to remove him, and they will. The only question is when. If they’re smart, they’ll do it immediately. If Kamala’s going to be the nominee, she might as well be the president first. That leaves the question of Trump, and his sentencing on July 11," said Tucker Carlson in a post on X.

TRUMP NOW SEEN AS PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENT: TUCKER CARLSON

Carlson also emphasised that Trump is now seen as the presumptive president, not just the Republican candidate.

"At this point Trump is not just the Republican candidate, but effectively the presumptive president," he asserted.

He also cautioned against imprisoning Trump, suggesting that any charges should be for widely accepted serious crimes to avoid irreparable damage to the system.

"If you’re going to put him in jail, it had better be for a very serious crime that everyone agrees he committed. Otherwise you risk destroying the system completely and forever. We’re in legitimate danger. Democrats need to pull back," Carlson wrote in a post on X.

OBAMA'S POST BACKING BIDEN DISINGENUOUS, SAYS TUCKER CARLSON

In another post by Tucker, he said that all the talk about "only Biden deciding to leave" is just so absurd. That's not how the Democratic Party operates. No one person is above the collective. That's the essence of the party.

"In Biden’s specific case, he’s got no constituency in Washington. Yes, Ron Klain and 85-year-old Ted Kaufman benefit directly from his presidency, but it’s a small group. The rest of the city has no loyalty to Biden. They don’t care about him; they’ve never taken him seriously. Any president works for them as long as he’s a Democrat. It’s never personal with these people because the individual doesn’t matter," said Tucker's post on X.

Carlson in his post on X also claimed that Former Democrat President Barack Obama's post "supporting Joe Biden was disingenuous".

"In private, Obama is telling people Biden can't win, and he is therefore in favour of an open convention. Obama will not say whom he supports, nor as of yesterday afternoon had he met personally with Biden to deliver the message. Relations between the Obamas and the Bidens have never been warm. At times, they've been hostile," Carlson wrote in a post on X.
