Fox News personality and former pro wrestler Tyrus offered a different take on the bombshell revelation that President Joe Biden’s severely hampered mental acuity has been covered up by his closest aides since the days of his 2020 campaign during a network segment on Friday.
Tyrus’ remarks came after anchor Shannon Bream referenced a Wall Street Journal bombshell published last week that cited dozens of sources who revealed that Biden’s closest aides and advisers hid his condition using various methods as best they could throughout the duration of his term.
Tyrus didn’t blame Biden for the scandal but rather those who worked behind the scenes to not only shield his condition but who also likely ran the country as unelected bureaucrats.
“Reported nearly 50 sources, Wall Street Journal, page after page after page of him not meeting with his Cabinet secretaries, people not being able to get in touch with him, no access to him, him being given pre-planned questions, all of this stuff, not one question about that in the briefing today was shocking to me,” Bream said.
“Interviewing him is criminal. It’s even more criminal to interview him to go down memory lane. It’s not a joke,” Tyrus began.
“This man, whatever he was, he used to be, Father Time is doing what Father Time does. He can barely walk. He’s not in these, we know now that the staffers are making decisions and this, that, whatever,” he continued. “His legacy is basically that they knew that he was unfit. We were talking during the break. If they, once they knew, if they cared about the country, they should have put Kamala in two years ago.
“Good, bad, or indifferent, she has her faculties together. Asking him now to come in and talk to Congress is criminal. He does, he cannot do it anymore,” Tyrus continued.
“The reason why there’s no fighting and arguing over President Trump interviewing and doing these things is because he can’t make that argument. And anyone else who comes out and say it, then they have to admit the fact that they’ve been making these decisions for him the whole time. I think we need to stop blaming Joe Biden and looking at who has been running the show,” Tyrus added.
“It’s not fair. It’s, I don’t, as a comedian, I don’t make fun of Joe Biden anymore. Because you’re making fun of somebody who can’t defend themselves.”

According to The Wall Street Journal, aides to Biden colluded to prevent the public from knowing just how substantial his mental decline was, and that the effort to cover it up actually began during his 2020 presidential campaign and continues to this day.
“To adapt the White House around the needs of a diminished leader, [aides] told visitors to keep meetings focused. Interactions with senior Democratic lawmakers and some cabinet members—including powerful secretaries such as Defense’s Lloyd Austin and Treasury’s Janet Yellen—were infrequent or grew less frequent,” the WSJ reported. “Some legislative leaders had a hard time getting the president’s ear at key moments, including ahead of the U.S.’s disastrous pullout from Afghanistan.”
“Senior advisers were often put into roles that some administration officials and lawmakers thought Biden should occupy, with people such as National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, senior counselor Steve Ricchetti and National Economic Council head Lael Brainard and her predecessor frequently in the position of being go-betweens for the president,” the outlet continued.
The report said senior staff instructed press aides tasked with compiling news clips for President Biden to omit negative stories about him. Meanwhile, the president avoided communicating with his own pollsters, even as surveys showed him trailing in the 2024 race.
