Chris Whipple spent over two years tailing President Joe Biden around the White House, and if you thought the place was a fortress, you’d be right. Whipple described his experience as the most tightly controlled, scripted administration in modern U.S. history—essentially a Hollywood production without the glitzy awards.
During his interview with the ever-so-reliable CNN, Whipple revealed that his golden ticket to accessing Biden was not an in-person meet, but rather, written questions. Biden’s handlers orchestrated every move, making sure the narrative stayed smooth and polished—the very epitome of a puppet show.
Biden Biographer Calls White House the Most 'Scripted' in U.S. History https://t.co/YGxZGuH659
They even hid Biden from his Biographer. Written questions and answers only, no in person interviews…..— Douglas Spencer (@doconservative) July 12, 2024
Whipple did get some face time with Biden’s cronies, but when it came to the commander-in-chief himself, the terms were strictly penned replies. Sounds like the good ol’ free press got a fancy pen-pal arrangement instead of a real interview. Despite spending all that time in the White House, Whipple never had a single one-on-one conversation with Mr. President. Talk about transparency!
His book, “The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden’s White House,” dives into these scripted escapades. Whipple noted the precision in everything released from the White House, suggesting Biden’s term might just be a well-choreographed illusion. You know things are amiss when even the author questions if Biden’s administration is about hiding something or just obsessed with narrative control.
Adding fuel to the fiery skepticism, Whipple disclosed that one of Biden’s closest friends urged the 81-year-old president to undergo a full neurological exam at Walter Reed Medical Center and release the results. The subtext? Even those in Biden’s circle have doubts about his mental fitness. Yet, Whipple claims he never witnessed incompetence firsthand—which isn’t too surprising since he never got the chance to interact with Biden outside of pre-approved scripts.
Concerns about Biden’s health have been a hot topic. Whipple mentioned that the president can’t effectively lead the country if he’s perpetually shielded by over-cautious advisers. It looks like the Democrats’ grand strategy might just be to keep their leading man wrapped in a bubble, while America waits for the next act in this increasingly theatrical presidency.
