() Bill O’Reilly criticized the Democratic Party’s positive portrayal of President Biden during his administration, accusing political leaders of hiding his mistakes and health issues, something Chris Cuomo spiritedly disagreed with during a Tuesday debate.
The pair debated O’Reilly’s view that the media also took part in covering up Biden’s alleged cognitive and physical decline during his time in office.
“He didn’t make the policies,” O’Reilly said of Biden’s tenure in the White House. “He didn’t make them. That’s where you’re making your mistake. He was a zombie.”
Cuomo disagreed: “He had good days and a lot of bad days. And I know people on a regular basis who would say, ‘Today he was good, oh, yesterday, he forgot where we were supposed to be.’ He was an old guy.”
O’Reilly contended Biden “couldn’t do the job,” and the American people had the right to know about Biden’s decline and whether he had prostate cancer.
“You believe that the American people have their interests served better by knowing whether or not Joe Biden had a prostate exam when president than in discussing the fact that the woman that Donald Trump says is the best to keep us safe does not know what the core protection in the Constitution is against illegal detention,” Cuomo argued, referring to Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.
“It’s absurd,” O’Reilly replied. “It’s like comparing the NFL to the Women’s [National] Basketball Association. The American people have a right to know if their sitting president has cancer, period. They have a right to know it. That’s it. Kristi Noem doesn’t matter (compared) to that.”
Cuomo disagreed.
“You’re saying they have a right. They absolutely do not have a right, because we only get what they want to tell us, that’s all we get. We have no right to it. There’s no mandatory reporting.
“That’s how a right works. A right is something that is guaranteed and executed,” he added.
