Brzezinski blasts Biden’s STAFF for making him look old

MSNBC’s Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski said Wednesday that President Joe Biden‘s staff needed to ‘own his age’ and blasted them for not simplifying his schedule and ensuring he doesn’t fall. 

As Biden mounts his 2024 reelection bid, Brzezinski and co-host Joe Scarborough were discussing another president whose age was an issue – the late President Ronald Reagan, who successfully won a second term. 

Scarborough pointed out that the staff of Reagan – who was nearly 78 when he left the White House – ‘managed his schedule very carefully.’ 

That got Brzezinski riled up about Biden’s staff. 

‘I’m gonna be honest, I don’t think they do a good job helping out the president,’ she said.

‘I’m just saying if you are managing a president’s schedule, and you are managing a president getting on stage and getting off stage and getting on planes and getting off planes – and yes, he’s 80 – you need to be there for him,’ she continued. 

‘And you need to make a pathway and you sure as hell better make sure he doesn’t fall on a sandbag,’ she added. ‘And I blame the staff for that,’ Brzezinski said.

In June, the president tripped over a sandbag that was left onstage at a commencement ceremony for the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado. 

He later quipped that he had been ‘sandbagged.’ 

The stumble followed him tripping up the stairs of Air Force One several times. 

Biden also got his foot stuck in a toe clip and fell sideways off his bike at Rehoboth Beach last June.

‘There are the things that are going to hurt him,’ Brzezinski continued. ‘These are things that are gonna be played on a loop, OK?

‘Let him do his job, let him do his speeches, let him work on policy, let him do his connections in Congress unlike any president that we’ve seen I don’t know, since Clinton,’ she said. ‘But my God, make sure, you know – you’re Secret Service, you’re his staff – that you’re there and you’re telling him what’s next.’ 

She added that viewers of the show shouldn’t take this as, ‘oh he can’t get from one place to another.’ 

‘When you’re busy and you’re onstage, and we’ve been onstage, I’ve done speeches and I’m so nervous, I’m doing the speech, I’m trying to get it right, and when it’s done, I don’t know which way to go and I’m looking for direction,’ the 56-year-old anchor recalled. 

Brzezinski said his staff needed to, ‘do a better job.’ 

‘Because you can’t have these video images of the president tripping or the president going the wrong way,’ she said. ‘It’s not going to work in this presidency because his age is going to be a factor. His age is going to be a factor and it’s your job to ensure he gets from one place to another.’

She argued that Biden ‘can handle the presidency.’ 

‘You have to handle his schedule and where he goes,’ she said.
