President Joe Biden’s first presidential debate appearance has gotten a lot of reaction.
However, what First Lady Jill Biden did after the debate during a rally is just as bad.
Following the debate, Jill Biden greeted her husband on stage at the debate after-party, which had a live audience. The best spin she put on it was Biden answered all the questions.
“Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question, you knew all the facts!” Jill Biden cheered to a smiling Joe Biden on stage. She then turned to the audience and asked, “And let me ask the crowd. What did Trump do?” Before the audience could respond, she answered her own question with a shout, “Lie!”

This moment quickly went viral, mocking Jill for her condescending tone.
The president’s performance at the debate has been almost universally panned by commentators. His inarticulate speaking and unstable demeanor blew apart claims from the media that Biden was fine and the videos of him looking like a fool were “cheap fakes.”
CNN commentator Van Jones, who was emotionally moved when Biden won the 2020 presidential election, also offered an emotional plea for the president to reconsider his re-election bid. “I love that guy as a good man. He loves his country. He’s doing the best that he can. But he had a test to meet tonight, to restore confidence of the country and of the base, and he failed to do that,” Jones said. “And I think there’s a lot of people who are going to want to see him consider taking a different course now.”
However, Biden isn’t going anywhere his campaign is doubling down.

Why wouldn’t they? Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for July, and after Biden’s performance, the chances of the former President getting jail time are pretty high.
