(Gateway Pundit) Now that the media can no longer cover for 81-year-old Joe Biden’s failing mental and physical health after last week’s nationally televised presidential debate debacle with President Trump, stories are being published revealing behind the scenes concerns about Biden’s deteriorating condition.
The New York Times joined the pack Tuesday with a report that featured details of Biden’s weeklong debate prep at Camp David–including that he was given a daily nap time break in the afternoon.
“…In the 23 days leading up to the debate against former President Donald J. Trump, Mr. Biden jetted across the Atlantic Ocean twice for meetings with foreign leaders and then flew from Italy to California for a splashy fund-raiser, maintaining a grueling pace that exhausted even much younger aides. Mr. Biden was drained enough from the back-to-back trips to Europe that his team cut his planned debate preparation by two days so he could rest at his house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., before joining advisers at Camp David for rehearsals. The preparations, which took place over six days, never started before 11 a.m. and Mr. Biden was given time for an afternoon nap each day, according to a person familiar with the process.”
The Times report also put the lie to the White House’s “cheap fakes’ campaign in the weeks before the debate to cast doubt on video clips showing Biden freezing, wandering or having to be helped off stage as being deceptively edited to make Biden look bad.

Instead, eyewitness attendees say that Biden was worse than what was seen on the videos:
“After several days in France, Mr. Biden flew home briefly and dealt with the family crisis of his son’s conviction. He hosted an early concert marking the Juneteenth holiday where he was spotted standing stiffly during a musical performance. One person who sat close to the president said that he had a “dazed and confused” expression during much of the event. This person said Mr. Biden had shown a “sharp decline” since a meeting only weeks earlier.“
