The former Fox News host Megyn Kelly eviscerated the former First Lady Jill Biden for covering for Joe amidst his health decline. Megyn went so far as to accuse Jill of “bullying” anyone who dared to question whether Joe was physically and mentally fit enough to be president.
Megyn Torches Jill
In her new memoir “View from the East Wing,” which hit stores on Tuesday, Jill, 75, admitted that she thought Joe was having a “stroke” during his infamous June of 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump. Despite this, Jill publicly praised Joe for his performance immediately after the debate, saying that he “answered every question.”
After Jill made this admission in her memoir, Megyn fired back by accusing the former First Lady of taking part in a years-long operation to hide Joe’s cognitive decline from the American people.
“She bullied every member of the Democrat party who was even mildly critical of him on the mental health question, both before and after the debate,” Megyn, 55, said of Jill on Monday’s episode of The Megyn Kelly Show.
“All the news from then that day to this has been about how bitter Jill and Joe are that he was forced out of the campaign after that, how the indignity of it, how unfair they thought it was,” she continued. “And now she admits the whole reason she said you answered every question is because it was the only true statement she could think of to say to him after what she recognized was a disaster.”
Megyn Doubles Down
Megyn went on to slam what she described as Jill’s self-promotional posturing in the lead-up to the release of her book. She also claimed that Jill was the one who pressured Joe to run for reelection in 2024.
“And by the way, she’s the one who made him do it,” Megyn alleged. “Remember, she was infamously at that dinner where she announced that he’s running again to the shock of his campaign aides, or they’re like, ‘What?!'”
“She’s as bad as he is, she’s as bad as (Jill and Joe’s son) Hunter, as much of a grifter,” Megyn added. “She’s all the things we suspected she was when we saw her Weekend at Bernie’s him into the second run, and here she’s inadvertently confirming it all.”

Jill Discusses Joe’s 2024 Presidential Run
While appearing on the TODAY show earlier this week, Jill discussed Joe’s decision to run for reelection.
“The doctors did assure us. He had an exam every year, a health exam — like every president does — the doctors assured us he was healthy,” Jill claimed. “And I saw him doing the job every single day. Every single day he got up, he went into the office, he did the job, he passed bipartisan legislation. I saw him work hours into the night.”
However, Jill also confessed that she did actually notice some of Joe’s slips.
“Did I see him slowing down a little bit when he got tired? Did he stutter a little bit at night? Sure,” Jill acknowledged. “But he was still doing the job and he was doing a good job.”
When asked why she didn’t urge Joe to drop out of the race sooner, Jill replied, “It had to be his decision, Craig. It had to be his decision alone because he had to live with that decision for the rest of his life. I couldn’t say, ‘Joe do this’ or ‘Joe do that.’ It was his decision to run in the first place, only his, even though the family had their input, especially the grandchildren, but it was his decision to get out.”
Jill Thought Joe Was Having A ‘Stroke’
That interview came one day after Jill told CBS News that she thought Joe was “having a stroke” during his infamous 2024 debate against Trump.
“I was frightened, because I had never, ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never,” Jill said.
“I don’t know what happened,” she added. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”
Despite this, Jill publicly praised Joe immediately after the debate.
“Joe — you did such a great job,” she said during a post-debate event with supporters. “You answered every question, you knew all the facts.”
Millions of Americans noticed that there was clearly something cognitively wrong with Joe during his presidency. However, we were constantly gaslit by Jill and other top Democrats who claimed that Joe was perfectly fine. Indeed, according to them, any claims that Joe was not in perfect health were nothing more than hateful Republican propaganda.
Now, even Jill can no longer deny that the rest of us were right about her husband and his health all along. In the end, this all serves as a reminder that Democrats simply can’t be trusted, as they will do absolutely anything to stay in power.
Good riddance to you, Jill Biden!
