Biden Administration’s Tactics to Obscure Health Concerns: Insights from Former Aide Michael LaRosa

Man in suit appearing serious, with blurred background.

Former Biden aide Michael LaRosa admits the administration deliberately “gaslit” Americans about the President’s health concerns, revealing staff were “scared to death” of allowing unscripted moments that might expose his cognitive decline.

Key Takeaways

  • Michael LaRosa, former press secretary for Jill Biden, confirmed the Biden administration deliberately misled the public about the President’s age and declining health through “gaslighting” and “data denial.”
  • White House staffers were “scared to death” of allowing Biden to participate in unscripted interviews or events, fearing his cognitive issues would become apparent to voters.
  • The administration consistently denied polling data from 2023 that showed lack of support for Biden among Democrats, independents, and Republicans despite clear warning signs.
  • Biden’s poor debate performance against Trump, where he appeared hoarse and confused, ultimately confirmed public concerns about his ability to serve another term.
  • Despite mounting evidence and internal concerns about Biden’s condition, the administration doubled down on denying issues until political pressure forced his withdrawal from the 2024 race.

White House Cover-Up Strategy Exposed

A bombshell admission from Michael LaRosa, former press secretary for First Lady Jill Biden, has confirmed what many Americans suspected throughout Joe Biden’s presidency: his administration deliberately misled the public about his cognitive capabilities and health concerns. Speaking during a seminar at American University, LaRosa detailed how the White House employed strategic deception to downplay mounting concerns about Biden’s ability to perform presidential duties, especially as the 2024 election approached.

“I will use the term ‘gaslight’ because that’s what they were doing, the campaign, former colleagues. The message to everybody was to make sure that you tell people ‘It’s too early. It’s too early. These polls don’t mean anything,'” LaRosa revealed, describing the administration’s deliberate strategy to dismiss legitimate public concerns about Biden’s fitness for office.

Fear of Unscripted Moments Revealed Biden’s True Condition

Perhaps most damning in LaRosa’s revelations was his admission that Biden’s handlers actively prevented the President from engaging in spontaneous interactions with the press or public.

“The president’s team was scared to death of impromptu, unscripted, unrehearsed, unpracticed, unchoreographed anything,” LaRosa said. “They couldn’t compete in the attention economy. They didn’t have any idea how. And they didn’t have the vessel in Biden, who would have done anything. He loves TV. He loves doing stuff. It was the orbit that didn’t trust the candidate.”

Deliberate Denial of Warning Signs

Throughout 2023, polls consistently showed Biden’s declining support among his own party, independents, and Republicans alike. Yet instead of addressing these concerns, LaRosa revealed the administration chose denial as its primary strategy. “There was a lot of denial of the polling. All of the polling in the spring of 2023, and then the fall of 2023, showed that there was no real depth of support from his own party, let alone independents and Republicans,” LaRosa admitted. This willful ignorance of clear data represents a fundamental betrayal of public trust.

The Pivotal Debate Moment That Confirmed Public Fears

When Biden finally faced Donald Trump in a debate, the carefully constructed façade crumbled. Biden appeared hoarse, confused, and struggled to complete coherent thoughts – confirming what many Americans had suspected about his cognitive decline. LaRosa acknowledged this moment as pivotal, noting that Biden “was politically dead” after his debate performance. Despite this disastrous showing, the administration continued its gaslighting campaign for nearly a month before Biden finally withdrew from the race.

“Every time there was a story about his age, or whether he could do another election, or whether he should be the candidate, they just doubled down.” he said.

A Pattern of Deception Now Exposed

While LaRosa attempted to soften his revelations by saying “cover-up” was “a little harsh, a little exaggerated,” his detailed accounts reveal a coordinated effort to mislead the American public about the mental fitness of the Commander-in-Chief. This deception wasn’t merely about political survival but involved concealing information critical to national security and governance. The pattern extended beyond polling denial to actively managing Biden’s public appearances to minimize exposure of his limitations – a tactic that ultimately failed when Biden couldn’t be shielded from direct comparison with his opponent.

The stark admission of “gaslighting” from a former insider confirms what conservatives have been saying for years: the Biden administration prioritized political power over transparency and the best interests of the country. When Americans couldn’t trust their own eyes and ears about the President’s condition, they were being deliberately manipulated by those sworn to serve them – a betrayal that will leave lasting damage to institutional trust far beyond this administration.
