Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) noted that Biden has dementia but insisted his campaign would bring him Mountain Dew at the debate.
Burlison told Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business: “Older people or people with dementia may find some moments of clarity. Yes? They can find moments in the day when they have energy, and I think the Trump team shouldn't underestimate the ability of Joe Biden and his team to get him to Mountain Dew or not. Watching State Of The Union this year gave me a lot of energy for about an hour.”

MARIA BARTIROMO: They're probably giving Biden the drug ahead of the debate, experimenting with getting the dosage right. Is that what you think?

If you're keeping score at home, within a week Republicans will go from saying Biden is old and can't serve a sentence to saying Biden is using performance enhancing drugs to saying Biden is using Mountain Dew.
This is embarrassing.
Republicans are trying to come up with a reason to explain why the president will be circling Donald Trump at the debates.
Trump and the Republican Party tried this tactic in 2020. Because we know that President Biden has no cognitive problems, and we also understand that Trump is a terrible debater. A circus to distract him from the reality that he actually has no knowledge.
Watch out for 81-year-old Joe Biden. He's heading into a debate about Mountain Dew and democracy.
