Joe Biden Breaks His Silence After President Trump Orders Investigation Into Autopen Scandal

Joe Biden has (allegedly) just broken his silence on the growing autopen scandal.

In a written statement released today, Biden insisted that he was the only one who made decisions about pardons, executive orders, and other legislation while he was in the White House.

Biden responds to Trump ordering an investigation of the autopen: “Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, EOs, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn't is ridiculous and false.”

Here’s Biden’s full statement:

It reads:

Let me be clear: I made the decisions during my presidency. I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false.

This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.

Already, I have to wonder: did Joe Biden really write that?

Or just one of his handlers?

If he really wanted to assure the American public that he made all the decisions by himself during his presidency, wouldn’t he do it live somewhere? Or in a video, at least?

I’ve yet to see video of him saying this, till then just another fake statement made from the shadows

The written statement seems lazy, and too polished.

In fact, it seems a whole like like this joke from the satirical Babylon Bee:

Comedy becomes reality.

Yesterday, President Trump signed a memorandum to launch a formal investigation into who was really acting as president while Joe Biden was in office.

Joe Biden’s alleged statement comes in response to that investigation.

Fox News said:

Trump called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to open investigations into top Biden officials on Wednesday, arguing they may have conspired to deceive the public about his mental state and exercised presidential authority through use of the autopen.

Trump wrote in a Wednesday memo that the U.S. president has a tremendous amount of power and responsibility through his signature. Not only can the signature turn words into laws of the land, but it also appoints individuals to some of the highest positions in government, creates or eliminates national policies and allows prisoners to go free.

“Given clear indications that President Biden lacked the capacity to exercise his Presidential authority, if his advisors secretly used the mechanical signature pen to conceal this incapacity, while taking radical executive actions all in his name, that would constitute an unconstitutional wielding of the power of the Presidency, a circumstance that would have implications for the legality and validity of numerous executive actions undertaken in Biden’s name,” he added.

President Trump Launches OFFICIAL Investigation Into Who Actually Ran the Nation During Biden’s ‘Presidency’

Today in the Oval Office, President Trump responded to Biden's (alleged) insistence that he was the one who personally made every single decision during his presidency.

Here's that clip:

Transcript:

Reporter: I'm curious your reaction to his dismissal.

Trump: Well, look, the autopen, I think is a big scandal. Outside of the rigged election of 2020, I think the biggest scandal of the last many years is the autopen and who's using it. I happen to think I know, okay, because I'm here, and I'm not a big auto pen person, fortunately. I'm glad. I'm very glad. It's an easy way out, but it's a very bad thing, very dangerous. You know, I sign important documents. Usually when they put documents in front of you, they're important. Even if you're signing ambassadorships or— I consider that important. I think it's inappropriate, you have somebody that's devoting four years of their life or more to being an ambassador. I think you really deserve, that person deserves to get a real signature, not an auto pen signature. And I can tell auto pen easily. I can look at it like two little penholes from pulling the paper, right? You always see the penholes. It's real easy to tell about autopen. I think it's very disrespectful to people when they get an auto pen signature, outside autopen, to me, are used when 1000s of letters come in from young people all over the country and you want to get them back. And you know, people use autopens for that to send a little signature at the bottom of a letter. We have thousands of them. We get thousands of letters a week, and it's not possible to-- you know I'd like to do it myself, but you can't do it. To me, that's where autopens start and stop.

But I don't think, I'm sure that he didn't know many of the things— look he was never for open borders. He was never for transgender for everybody. He was never for men playing in women's sports. I mean, all of these things that changed so radically, I don't think he had any idea what was— frankly, I said it during the debate, and I say it now. He didn't have much of an idea what was going on. Essentially, whoever used the autopen was president, and that is wrong, it's illegal, it's so bad, and it's so disrespectful to our country.
