[NYPOST] A senior aide for former President Joe Biden has admitted the administration was ''gaslighting'' Americans when it repeatedly dismissed growing concerns about the oldest-ever president's age and ability.
Michael LaRosa, a former White House aide and longtime press secretary for first lady Jill Biden, admitted that the campaign was aware from ''day one'' that the 81-year-old's age was an issue — and aides were ''scared to death'' of letting him do off-the-cuff interviews ahead of the election, Puck reported.
''Cover-up to me is a little hard, a little harsh. Every politician, everybody, every human being tries to cover up age. We were always, from day one, cognizant that age was an issue,'' LaRosa said Wednesday at a Science Institute at American University seminar. |
