A new revelation claims that President Joe Biden's cabinet meetings are partially "scripted" by having the questions and replies of cabinet members pre-screened before the sessions begin.
Two different sources have disclosed that it is "customary" for their "key talking points" for upcoming meetings to be distributed to White House staff members.
"The entire display is kind of an act. They would come and say, ‘Hey, the president is going to call on you about 25 minutes in, and ask this question. What are the bullet points you’ll respond with?" an unnamed source told CNN.
Others described the meetings as "well-orchestrated" and not at all "free-wheeling."
A different Democratic insider who has lately been in communication with the 81-year-old President of the United States also shared with the site that they have observed a "marked difference" in him "from the spring to the summer." "He’s just not the same," the source added.
This comes after George Clooney published an unexpected opinion piece in which he requested President Joe Biden withdraw his bid for the presidency in the 2024 election and make room for another Democratic contender to run in his stead. Clooney's request was made in light of Biden's cognitive health worries.
"I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend and I believe in him ... In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced. But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can,” the “Ocean’s Eleven” star penned.
"It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe 'big F-ing deal' Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate. We are not going to win in November with this president,” the husband of Amal Alamuddin-Clooney furthered.
In a recent episode of “The View,” fellow actor Michael Douglas stated that Clooney had a "valid point" and that he, too, felt "deeply, deeply concerned" about Biden's chances of winning the election.
"I mean, especially, it’s difficult because the Democrats have a big bench. They’ve got a lot of heavy hitters," Michael told the panel of co-hosts.
