Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News Thursday and called for the creation of either a joint House-Senate committee or a special commission to investigate whether Joe Biden was mentally incapacitated during his term as president and also whether White House staff concealed it.
In Chris Whipple’s new book, former top aide Ron Klain revealed that during debate preparations Biden often struggled and would fall asleep. During an appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Gingrich said that the investigation should not only uncover the truth about Biden’s mental fitness but also determine the constitutional implications when people who aren’t president make decisions on the president’s behalf.
“I think both the House and the Senate should empanel special committees to just focus on this issue. Who was the president? Who lied about the president? Who made the decisions as though they were president? And what is the constitutional implication of having people who are not the president making these kinds of decisions? I think this is a very serious, profound historic moment, not a political moment. It ought to be a truly bipartisan committee, truly bipartisan effort,” Gingrich said.
“Because all of us ought to have an interest as Americans in knowing what happened and how could we have been lied to for at least a minimum of two or two and a half years.”

Gingrich said all of this amounts to an issue of trust.
“Either there has to be a joint House and Senate committee, or there has to be a special commission. I have to say, in all the years I’ve studied, both as a history teacher and as an elected official, the idea that these people knew — it’s pretty clear now that a lot of them knew that he was gone,” Gingrich told Watters.
Gingrich said clear evidence now suggests that key Democratic figures were aware that Biden was not fully performing his duties.
“It’s an astonishing moment, and I think it requires a very in-depth look, day by day, at the decisions that were made,” Gingrich said.
Biden’s performance in the debate with Trump was disastrous, and, a few weeks later, he was forced out of the presidential race by his own party.
