In the aftermath of Joe Biden’s historically poor debate performance Thursday night, Democrat politicians, talking heads, and voters are struggling to deal with the reality that their candidate is mentally unfit for office.
In fact, Biden’s debate appearance was so disastrous leftists immediately sounded the panic alarm and called for him to be removed as the Democrat Party presidential candidate using the online hashtag #swapJoeout.
From Mika and Joe Scarborough on MSNBC to the slew of far-left pundits on CNN or establishment comedian Jon Stewart, the who’s who of Democrat elites shunned Biden following the debate.
Breaking down several Biden brain farts clip by clip, Stewart joked the debate performance left many Democrat voters wanting to “jump out of windows or vomit.”
After admitting Sleepy Joe failed miserably, Stewart asked his audience, “So, how do we do this now? Do I take [Trump’s] car back to the White House tonight?
Stewart joked about rumors Biden would be hopped up on “performance-enhancing” drugs during the debate, saying, “Both of these men should be using performance-enhancing drugs. I’m sorry, both. As much of it as they can get, as many times a day as their bodies will allow. If performance-enhancing drugs will improve their lucidity, their ability to solve problems, and in one of the candidates’ cases, improve their truthfulness, morality, and malignant narcissism, then suppository away.”
He added, “And by the way, if those drugs don’t exist, if there aren’t actually performance-enhancing drugs for these candidates, I could sure use some recreational ones right now. Because this cannot be real life. It just can’t.”
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” anchors were visibly distraught on Friday morning, with Mika Brzezinski stating, “Biden had a terrible night. He could not land a thought… “
After claiming there would be no “spinning” the narrative about Biden’s lackluster performance, Mika continued to say she still believes in Joe’s campaign despite the “terrible” debate.
“I wonder if he was sick,” she laughably suggested.
"I am rocked a little bit by it, didn't like it, was really worried but I really truly believe in him as a president and as a human being."

During another “Morning Joe” segment, the vibe was almost as if someone had died.
Former Democrat Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill said she’s “feeling sad” because, “This is not a great day for anyone who cares deeply about this country.”
Taking the focus away from bumbling Biden, McCaskill told MSNBC viewers, “Donald Trump is the problem,” before claiming, “The panic people feel today is not about anything other than making sure Donald Trump doesn’t become president.”

Attempting to quell some of the hysteria from the left, Democrat Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro basically echoed the “This is fine” meme of the dog in the burning house.
“I’d just say to Democrats, stop worrying and start working,” he said.
.@GovernorShapiro: "I'd just say to Democrats: stop worrying and start working… While this election is a binary choice between Biden and Trump, this election is more of a reflection upon all of us and what kind of country we want to build for ourselves." https://t.co/rLnuMmvpyq pic.twitter.com/DbK9HqfiC7

Democrat operative Rev. Al Sharpton told the “Morning Joe” anchors, “As much as I was disappointed to devastated by Joe Biden’s performance last night, the real issue this morning is not what is going to happen to Joe Biden, the question is, what’s going to happen to us as a country.”
"The real issue this morning is not what is going to happen to Joe Biden, the question is, what's going to happen to us as a country?"

CNN actually fact-checked several of the bizarre lies Biden blurted out during the event, signaling a change in media outlets that typically cover up his fibs.
Prepare to watch the most brutal CNN fact check of crooked Joe you’ll ever see.

Even CNN’s Anderson Cooper pushed back while speaking with Kamala Harris, telling the incompetent VP, “You can’t honestly say… Can you say you are not concerned at all watching the president’s performance tonight?”

MSNBC host Joy Reid also joined in on the Biden bashing, saying she was on the phone with “Obama-world people” during the debate and that the “universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic.”
“The people who were texting with me were very concerned about President Biden seeming extremely feeble, seeming extremely weak,” she told co-hosts Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel Maddow and others.

The liberal panic button has officially been pushed

Most leftists allowed Biden’s poor showing to trigger their Trump-Derangement-Syndrome.
Check out some more prominent Democrats commenting on the debate below:
Biden had a bad night.
Also, Trump is an existential threat to democracy, the Republic, the Constitution, and our most fundamental liberties, in addition to being a fraud, a liar, a felon, a degenerate, a global embarrassment, and an ally of evil.
Toughen up. Fight's on.

I love Joe Biden. I know he’s a good man. I know his heart is good. I know he’s dedicated to our country and is surrounded by good people. Tonight was heartbreaking in many ways. This is a big political moment. There’s panic in the Democratic party. It’s going to be a long night.

One off night doesn't change the fact that @JoeBiden is the most legislatively successful @POTUS in our lifetime. One off night also doesn't change the fact that the former guy is a convicted felon, serial liar & adjudicated rapist who is unfit for ANY office. Period.

I’m not a Democrat. I’ve said I’ll support whoever the Democrats nominate. Bcuz Trump must lose. I’ll support Joe Biden if he’s the nominee. I’ll support Kamala Harris if she’s the nominee. I’ll support Hillary Clinton if she’s the nominee.
Trump must lose. Nothing else matters.

I mean, another way to look at it is this: For 90 minutes last night, Donald Trump lied. He lied every single time he opened his mouth. And yet he won the debate going away. It wasn’t even close.
So come on. What does that say about Joe Biden?

Biden might have had a hoarse voice, but Trump didn’t know what the hell he was talking about. He just pathologically lied about everything.

Just think about what that debate looked like to people and leaders around the world.

Telling people they didn't see what they saw is not the way to respond to this.

The entire propaganda media turning on Biden in unison should be a red flag to everyone that the Democrats have something bigger coming…
The entire media did not “suddenly” decide to tell the truth about Biden.
Wonder who their real candidate will be.

Biden’s campaign had to announce on Friday he WILL NOT be dropping out the race after the atrocious debate.
