Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren is one of former President Joe Biden’s staunchest supporters.
At least that’s what she tells people.
But when pressed about her true feelings about Biden, Warren struggled to defend her past praise of Biden’s “sharp” mind in a shocking new interview.
In fact, she even went so far as to admit that she believed it at the time… but not today.
Warren recently appeared on the “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso” podcast where the left-leaning host asked whether she regretted saying Biden “had a sharpness to him” up until he dropped out of the 2024 presidential election.
“I said what I believed to be true,” Warren said.
“You think he was as sharp as you?” Fragoso retorted.
Warren gave a long pause where she appeared to hold back a laugh at the question.
“I said I had not seen decline,” she finally responded, turning her head and giving Fragoso an exasperated look. “And I hadn’t at that point.”

Fragoso continued to press Warren further, expressing skepticism over her not seeing any decline in Biden during his time in office.
“The thing is,” Warren began.
“Look, he was sharp. He was on his feet. I saw him… live event. I had meetings with him a couple of times…”
“Senator, ‘on his feet’ is not praise,” Fragoso argued.
“‘He can speak in sentences’ is not praise.”
Ouch!
Warren finally let her guard down at his comments while replying, “Fair enough.”
Yes, finally admitting that her praise was anything but authentic.
The back-and-forth stemmed from when Warren defended Biden’s “sharpness” last year when interviewer Hasan Minhaj mocked Biden’s age on a podcast recorded before Biden’s infamous presidential debate against President Donald Trump.
“I talk to the man,” Warren said.
“The man is sharp. The man knows what he’s talking about. He does the job. I think people ask about age, they’ve got every right. Look, voters can ask about anything they want. They can make any decisions based on anything they want. That’s the deal.”
She continued, “It’s a sharpness and a pointedness about what he is trying to accomplish and to me, I get it. It’s like messaging. You can have other issues you want to look at, but the heart of it is what does he deliver. He is delivering.”
After the debate debacle, Warren became less certain in her defense of Biden, saying on MSNBC in July that he was “our nominee” but added that he had a “big decision to make” over whether he should stay in the race.
Coincidently, Biden dropped out of the race the day after Warren’s MSNBC interview.
In Warren’s defense, she was not alone in her defense of Biden.
Many Democrats and media personalities — some of whom have since written books detailing Biden’s obvious cognitive decline despite aiding in covering it up at the time — tried to blame Republicans and right-leaning media and accused them of making Biden look impaired when he really wasn’t.
