It prompted Capehart to smile awkwardly and say \u201cMr. President\u2026\u201d and then \u201cope!\u201d as Biden\u2019s eyes fluttered open.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Biden thinks that uh, my wife thinks that uh, [long pause] that I uh, that we\u2019re, that we\u2019re doing something very important,\u201d the president sputtered.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time Biden has appeared to fall asleep in the course of his presidential duties. In a July summit in Saudi Arabia, he was caught on video in what looked like an incident of catching Zs during a speech by Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. (At least the latter is relatable, as nodding off in a one-on-one interview takes even more nerve than snoozing through a long-winded speech.)<\/p>\n<p>Watch him at the 20:12 minute mark:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>\u201cFact\u201d \u201cchecker\u201d PolitiFact, which is surprisingly informative once you realize its verdicts are often indicators that the truth is the opposite of its conclusions, insisted Biden wasn\u2019t actually dozing in the clip, mostly just because PolitiFact writers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2022\/jul\/21\/instagram-posts\/biden-didnt-sleep-saudi-arabia-summit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decided<\/a> they didn\u2019t think he was asleep. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlthough he does at points have his head bowed and his eyes lowered, he keeps shifting positions, moving his hands and raising his head and eyes. He appears to simply be listening, not sleeping,\u201d is the outlet\u2019s cold-hard-fact rebuttal.<\/p>\n<p>During a climate summit in November 2021, Biden\u2019s nap was so obvious even the corporate media couldn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/petersuciu\/2021\/11\/01\/sleepy-joe-trended-after-biden-appeared-to-nod-off-during-climate-conference\/?sh=e55a8ea35939\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explain<\/a> it away.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s track record notwithstanding, regime-loyal media were happy to bury the story of his most recent televised gaffe, ignoring the president\u2019s cognitive deterioration after spending four years screeching about his predecessor\u2019s mental state based on far flimsier evidence.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how the propagandists at The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/10\/22\/msnbc-joe-biden-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">covered<\/a> the exchange:<\/p>\n<p>When asked if the first lady supports a 2024 run, Biden nodded and paused before providing a full answer. \u2018My wife thinks that we\u2019re doing something very important and that I shouldn\u2019t walk away from it,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n<p>The article even admitted that Biden \u201cwas the oldest person to be sworn into office [and] has faced questions from his own party about whether he should seek reelection, due [partly] to his age,\u201d but then proceeded to explain why \u201cthe reemergence of former president Donald Trump\u201d necessitated another Biden run.<\/p>\n<p>In a curt summary of the exchange, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/joe-biden\/biden-warns-republicans-will-tear-accomplishments-win-midterms-rcna53409\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NBC News<\/a> reported that \u201cBiden indicated first lady Jill Biden is supportive of a potential second term.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/21\/politics\/biden-2024-intention-reelection\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNN<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/10\/21\/us\/politics\/biden-republicans-midterm-elections.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> offered similarly under-informative reports.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s quite the change of tune from the four years of the Trump presidency in which left-wing journalists invented opportunity after opportunity to cast doubt on that<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biden&#8217;s eyelids drooped and he started nodding off, prompting Capehart to say &#8216;Mr. President&#8230;&#8217; then &#8216;ope!&#8217; as Biden&#8217;s eyes fluttered open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1353,"featured_media":1709340,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1709337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709337","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1353"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1709337"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1709337\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1709340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1709337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1709337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1709337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
