Washington journalist and socialite Sally Quinn has called out former First Lady Jill Biden for what she calls “elder abuse.” In a recent interview, Quinn suggested that President Joe Biden’s wife encouraged him to seek reelection despite his noticeable cognitive decline. These remarks were made during a conversation with journalist Tara Palmeli on a podcast.
Quinn expressed strong sentiments, stating, “I blame Jill Biden for this. If she had truly cared for him, she would have told Joe, ‘You can’t do this.'” According to her, Jill Biden’s support for his candidacy seemed clear.
Following the June 2024 debate, Quinn was taken aback by Jill Biden’s continued backing of her husband’s presidential campaign, voicing concerns about Joe Biden’s inauguration. She criticized Jill Biden’s actions, implying a failure to protect her husband and labeling it as “elderly abuse.”
Quinn shared her worries about Joe Biden, remarking that she felt he wasn’t getting the protection he needed. The situation, particularly after what she described as a troubling argument in the spin room, made her uncomfortable. The next day, he was in North Carolina, which raised further questions in Quinn’s mind.
As a seasoned figure within Washington circles, Quinn pointed out that Biden’s health struggles are widely acknowledged among those in the know, contributing to fears about his capacity for another term.
Quinn, who was married to Ben Bradlee, a former editor at The Washington Post who dealt with dementia until his passing in 2014, noted the similarities between her late husband’s behavior and Biden’s current condition. She remarked, “For me, it’s reminiscent of the early stages of dementia.”
Additionally, veterans have expressed disbelief regarding Biden’s recent cancer diagnosis, questioning how such a condition remained undetected for a significant period. “The president should have access to the best medical care and should have been diagnosed sooner,” she insisted, reflecting skepticism about the transparency surrounding his health.
