Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith sharply criticized former First Lady Jill Biden on Sunday, accusing her of helping cover up President Joe Biden’s visible decline during his disastrous June 2024 CNN presidential debate performance.

Smith, speaking on his show, expressed strong disapproval of how Jill Biden reportedly handled her husband’s fumbling and confused moments on stage — moments many viewers believed showed signs of a possible stroke or serious cognitive impairment.

“Jill Biden was covering up for hubby Joe while thinking he had a stroke,” Smith said. “That really disturbed me.”

The fiery remarks come as ongoing scrutiny continues over the Biden campaign and inner circle’s handling of the president’s health and mental sharpness ahead of the 2024 election. Biden’s shaky debate performance ultimately led to intense pressure from within the Democratic Party, resulting in his withdrawal from the race.

Smith, known for his blunt opinions, did not hold back in his assessment of the former First Lady’s role in managing public perception of her husband’s condition.

This latest commentary adds to the heated national conversation surrounding the transparency of Biden’s health during his final year in office.
