Controversial claims about President Biden’s electability and the role of fraud
A well-known American journalist, Tucker Carlson, asserted during an interview on the Lex Friedman YouTube channel that President Joe Biden could only win the presidential election through fraud. Carlson argued that Biden appeared worn out, suggesting he could neither talk clearly nor move with ease, and he claimed that a candidate in such a condition could not win in the United States, the country with the most influential political system in the world. According to Carlson, a Biden victory would rely on irregularities in the voting results. He described a Biden win as a “stupid joke on democracy.” [Citation: Lex Friedman YouTube channel]
The discussion also touched on the strategic rollout of foreign policy assets. John Kirby, who previously served as the Strategic Communications Coordinator for the White House National Security Council, stated that the sitting president would need new powers from Congress to seize frozen Russian assets.
