The president did better on Friday than he did his June 27 debate performance, but only by default, and some of the quotes were disjointed and weak.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, if Biden\u2019s words were taken at face value, he said he couldn\u2019t even remember whether <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/interview-biden-admits-cant-even-remember-watched-debate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he\u2019d actually watched<\/a> his own implosive performance in the debate, which had taken place one week prior.<\/p>\n<p>At another point, when asked why he should continue to lead the country into the future, he told Stephanopoulos he \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/interview-disaster-biden-claims-put-nato-together-just-6-years-old-founded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">put NATO together<\/a>.\u201d NATO was founded in 1949, when Biden was a child, just FYI.<\/p>\n<p>And then, on Tuesday, Stephanopoulos dropped his own bomb on the Biden campaign: The \u201cGood Morning America\u201d co-host and anchor of \u201cThis Week with George Stephanopoulos\u201d candidly revealed what he thought about the president\u2019s performance over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom line, nine words: \u201cI don\u2019t think he can serve four more years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/stephanopoulos-goes-crazy-trump-attorney-points-obvious-manhattan-verdict\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stephanopoulos<\/a>, the former Clinton White House staffer and media veteran apparently didn\u2019t know he was talking to someone who was either with or gave the footage to Hollywood vulture culture mainstay <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2024\/07\/09\/george-stephanopoulos-president-joe-biden-cant-serve-4-more-years-sidewalk-election\/#continued\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Stephanopoulos hasn\u2019t really been attached to scandal since he was the White House communications director for a president known for his frequent adulterous dalliances, he must not have expected much expect much when he \u201cwas out and about Tuesday afternoon on 5th Avenue, wearing workout clothes,\u201d according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2024\/07\/09\/george-stephanopoulos-president-joe-biden-cant-serve-4-more-years-sidewalk-election\/#continued\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TMZ<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you think Biden should step down?
