If you want to know just how bad things got under Joe Biden, look no further than this: the President of the United States skipped a Super Bowl interview—not because he was too busy, not because of a scheduling conflict, but because his handlers were terrified he might embarrass himself on national television. And now, thanks to sworn testimony from one of Biden’s own top aides, we know exactly why.
Anita Dunn, a longtime Biden loyalist and senior communications advisor, testified before the House Oversight Committee this week that the decision to avoid a Super Bowl interview in 2024 wasn’t just a media strategy—it was damage control. Biden’s team feared that the American people might start asking uncomfortable questions about their boss’s declining mental faculties. They were right to be worried.
Let’s connect the dots. The infamous Hur report, released just days before Super Bowl LVIII, didn’t mince words. Special Counsel Robert Hur concluded that if Biden were ever prosecuted for mishandling classified documents, he would “likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” That’s not a partisan jab. That’s a federal prosecutor stating on the record that Joe Biden is no longer mentally fit to stand trial—let alone lead the free world.
And now we learn from Dunn’s testimony that Biden’s team made the decision to skip the high-profile interview *before* the Hur report was even released. According to a source close to Dunn, the President’s inner circle predicted the report would dominate the media cycle and didn’t want their boss facing tough questions. In other words, they knew what was coming and ran for cover.
This is not just political cowardice—it’s deception. The American people were denied a rare, unfiltered chance to see their President answer questions on the biggest media stage of the year. Why? Because the people around Biden were more concerned with managing the optics of his decline than being honest with the public.
It gets worse. Dunn also admitted that Biden’s team consciously decided against putting him through a cognitive test. Why? Because, in their view, it wouldn’t offer “political benefit.” Think about that. The President of the United States is visibly struggling with basic communication, and instead of doing the responsible thing—verifying his cognitive health—his staff chose to play politics. They weren’t worried about the truth. They were worried about the polling.
This isn’t conspiracy. This is sworn testimony under penalty of perjury. And Dunn is no lightweight. This woman has been in Biden’s inner circle since the 1980s. She worked in the Obama White House, ran communications strategy for the Biden campaign, and was part of what some insiders call Biden’s “Politburo”—a tight-knit group of unelected aides who effectively ran the show while the President shuffled from teleprompter to teleprompter.
Let’s be clear: America deserves a President who is mentally sharp, physically capable, and willing to answer to the people. Joe Biden was none of those things. And now, after months of stonewalling, the truth is finally coming out. Anita Dunn is the tenth former Biden official to testify before the Oversight Committee, and more are scheduled in the coming weeks. Each one paints a clearer picture of a presidency propped up by handlers, media cover-ups, and a refusal to face reality.
Chairman James Comer is right to keep digging. His investigation into whether Biden’s staff covered up his mental decline isn’t just about settling political scores—it’s about protecting the integrity of the presidency. If the President of the United States is unable to carry out his duties, the American people have a right to know. And if his staff actively concealed that fact to maintain power, that’s not just unethical. That’s a scandal.
Trump’s return to the White House has already restored strength, clarity, and leadership to this country. But we can’t just move on and forget what happened. We need accountability. Because the truth isn’t a partisan issue—it’s a national necessity.
