- π Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne alleges that President Biden was not actively running the country, citing internal emails about his use of an autopen for official decisions.

- β οΈ A White House lawyer is quoted stating, "Biden does not review the warrants," further fueling claims that decisions were outsourced.
'Weekend at Bernie's' Presidency
- π Van Duyne likens the situation to a "Weekend at Bernie's auto pen presidency," suggesting a lack of presidential engagement and control.
- ποΈ She questions the extent of this practice, implying that numerous executive orders and directives might have been issued without Biden's direct review.
- π The investigation into these pardons and the autopen usage is described as the "worst scandal" in US history, with more revelations expected.
Concerns Over Presidential Capacity
- βοΈ The congresswoman suggests that people closest to the power reported being unable to get meetings with Biden, leading to questions about his accessibility.
- πΊπΈ She implies that the 25th Amendment should have been considered if there were doubts about his ability to discharge his duties.
Criticism of the Democrat Party
- π© Van Duyne criticizes the current direction of the Democrat Party, pointing to figures like Illinois Governor JB Pritzker encouraging citizens to record law enforcement.
- π« She argues that Democrats are "doubling down on their crazy" by defending individuals involved in drug trafficking, violence, and illegal immigration.
- π This perceived shift is seen as a reason for the party's electoral losses and low support numbers, with predictions of a "bloodbath" in upcoming midterms.
