Tapper, who moderated the CNN debate, said Democrats are trying to convince the public 'not to believe' what they saw.

Biden struggled to complete sentences frequently during the debate and spoke in a weak hoarse tone. The performance has led some Democrats to express panic while others are doubling down on their support of the president.
Tapper was one of the two moderators of last week's debate. In his opening monologue on “The Lead,” the host warned of a “discernible pattern of Democratic officials seemingly trying to convince you, the public, to not believe what you saw and what you heard with your eyes and with your ears on Thursday night." Such efforts, Tapper said, amount to blatant lies.
“Democratic officials have tried to spin this in many way,” he said. “They said President Biden just had a cold, they said it was just one off night akin to when President Obama in 2012 was rusty and seemed a little huffy. But behind the scenes, make no mistake, most Democratic officials witnessed the same shocking spectacle that you did.”
Biden’s difficulty “articulating his basic thoughts” at the debate has begun to reveal dystopian thought-control practices among major political leaders, according to Tapper. The spinning is all very reminiscent of the George Orwell quote from the book 1984," Tapper said, alluding to having used the quote regarding Trump fiver years ago. "It’s relevant again today. ‘The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.’"“A lot of people have resting 25th Amendment face,” Stewart joked in reference to the constitutional article allowing the president to be replaced.
