一位前白宫助理承认，在2024年总统竞选期间，他故意隐瞒了对乔·拜登健康状况恶化的担忧，因为他“真希望拜登能赢得”连任。
乔恩·洛维特曾是奥巴马政府的演讲稿撰写人，也是热门自由派播客“拯救美国播客”的联合主持人。他在乔恩·斯图尔特的《每周秀》播客中做出了令人震惊的坦白。
这位42岁的政治评论员告诉斯图尔特和他的同事“拯救美国播客”主持人乔恩·法夫罗，他选择将对拜登身心状况的担忧藏在心里，而不是公开与听众分享。
洛维特在播客中说道：“我记得我当时想把这件事当作一个巨大的负资产来谈论。谈论乔·拜登可以克服的这件事，但我不会说，‘我认为乔·拜登必须退出。他年纪太大了，当不了总统。’”
“首先，因为我并不完全了解幕后发生的事情；其次，如果乔·拜登是候选人，我真心希望他赢。”
洛维特曾在2009年至2011年担任奥巴马政府的演讲稿撰写人，他声称自己很害怕表达自己真正的担忧会让共和党对手占上风。
他担心“我们所说的话会被断章取义，突然间就成为右翼反对乔·拜登的借口——这会把任何批评乔·拜登的左翼人士都当作攻击他的武器。”
洛维特声称，“所以，我要坦诚乔·拜登的年龄是一个负担，但我知道，如果他成为候选人，我想明确表示，我认为我们必须竭尽所能让他再次当选。”
A Former White House aide has admitted he deliberately concealed his concerns over Joe Biden‘s declining health during the 2024 presidential campaign because he desperately ‘wanted him to f*****g win’ re-election.
Jon Lovett, an ex-Obama administration speechwriter and co-host of the popular liberal podcast ‘Pod Save America’, made the shocking confession during an appearance on Jon Stewart‘s ‘The Weekly Show’ podcast.
The 42-year-old political commentator told Stewart and his fellow Pod Save America host Jon Favreau that he chose to keep his worries about Biden’s physical and mental condition to himself rather than share them publicly with his audience.
‘I remember feeling I want to talk about this as a huge liability. To talk about this is something Joe Biden can overcome, but I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president,’ Lovett said on the podcast.
‘A, because I didn’t know exactly what was going on behind the scenes, but B, if Joe Biden is the candidate, I want him to f****** win.’
Lovett, who served as a speechwriter in the Obama White House from 2009 to 2011, claimed he was terrified that voicing his genuine concerns would give Republican opponents an upper hand.
He was afraid ‘having the words we’re saying taken out of context and all of a sudden be part of the case against Joe Biden from the right – that would use any person criticizing Joe Biden from the left as a weapon against him.’
‘So it was about being honest about Joe Biden’s age as a liability while knowing that if he is the nominee, I want to be clear that I thought it was important to make sure we did everything we could to reelect him,’ Lovett claimed.
