WASHINGTON—Expressing concerns that the country’s emotional state might be incapable of handling the news right now, reluctant Democrats in Washington confirmed Tuesday that they are holding off on revealing that President-Elect Joe Biden died from a heart attack six days ago. “It’s obviously very sad, but it just felt like it would be super awkward to throw this out there while everyone is already so on edge,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, who admitted that while the death of the recently elected Biden creates serious problems around keeping the country functioning and tackling the Covid-19 crisis, he did not want to kick the American people while they were already down. “I know we should have announced it immediately, but we hesitated, and pretty soon the Capitol was being stormed, and things have been super crazy ever since. Hopefully, we can make it to the inauguration before people start asking questions. We just have a lot on our plate right now, and honestly, this is the last thing we want to deal with.” At press time, Schumer was ruminating on whether he should at least tell Biden’s family.
love how they came up with that whole cover story about Joe breaking his ankle playing with his dog, and then the next day Biden just accidentally admits he fell in the shower
lmao send a link, I didn't hear about him falling in the shower
learned it from a Chapo episode, I remember Will laughing about it
EDIT: after doing some searches it looks like the shower was part of the story to begin with, what I remember is Will seizing on some clip of Biden where he screws up the details
i definitely remember like 12 hours where the news article framed it as him playing with his dog only to tuck it under the rug next day when it came out he fell in the shower
yeah I think I got fooled by the retconned articles that are at the top of results
No you're right: https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/30/politics/joe-biden-broken-foot-donald-trump-walter-reed/index.html
No mention of a shower fall
thanks, I got fooled by the top results which were all the retconned ones
