Michael LaRosa Unveils Behind-the-Scenes Concerns

Michael LaRosa, a former senior aide to President Joe Biden, has divulged that there was significant internal concern about Biden’s age and health. From the onset, aides were wary of letting Biden engage in unscripted interviews for fear of verbal blunders that could suggest a decline in cognitive abilities. This paints a picture of an administration working tirelessly to protect Biden’s public image from the undeniable reality that is his advanced age.

LaRosa candidly admitted that despite the campaign’s public dismissal of such concerns, there was intense behind-the-scenes effort to carefully curate Biden’s media interactions. The campaign’s actions to gaslight the American public about Biden’s health was in full swing, as LaRosa disclosed at a seminar at American University. The revelations align eerily well with common sense fears of Biden’s cognitive decline impacting his ability to serve effectively.

Age and Image: A Campaign Built on Denial

The campaign of misdirection extended deep into the polling trenches, where there was considerable denial about negative poll results highlighting Biden’s age as an issue. LaRosa’s comments shine a light on an administration in denial. He described the campaign’s behavior as gaslighting, saying, “There are some things that are true, I mean, like the gaslighting. There was a lot of denial of the polling.”

Biden faced harsh criticism due to fears about his verbal missteps, confusion, and frequent physical stumbles—indications of both aging and cognitive decline. Biden’s advisors and family were aware of his physical limitations yet chose to downplay them publicly. This manipulation resonates negatively with those of us who see our leaders’ primary role as embodying integrity, not pulling the wool over our eyes.

Biden’s Decision to Step Aside

Mounting pressure over concerns about his mental faculties and declining poll numbers led Biden to step aside from the 2024 race. Instead, he endorsed Kamala Harris as his successor, aiming to inject some perceived youthful vigor into a party clearly rattled by Biden’s age revelations. One can’t avoid asking why this decision wasn’t made sooner—before Biden showed signs of openly struggling with cognitive abilities.

“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.” — Michael LaRosa

In retrospect, Biden himself admitted his limitations in a January 2023 interview where he pondered, “Who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86 years old?” This statement raises doubts about why he even considered running for re-election. Was it due to personal ambition overshadowing reality, or was it a calculated and pressure-driven campaign move?
