Democrat Mouthpiece George Stephanopoulos Sends a Message: Biden Is Not Fit For Office

Earlier this week, we discussed the significance of Democrat strategist David Axelrod expressing doubt that Joe Biden can win the election. "He is not [going] to win the election," Axelrod told CNN.

Axelrod is the mouthpiece and consigliere of Barack Obama, the most powerful figure in the Democrat Party.

On Tuesday, another prominent mouthpiece for the party expressed similar doubt about Biden's prospects. ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos told a pedestrian, on camera, that he doesn't believe Biden "can serve four more years." 

Stephanopoulos, who interviewed Biden last Friday, confirmed the authenticity of the TMZ video and expressed regret. "Earlier today I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn’t have," said Stephanopoulos in a statement to Puck News. 

An ABC News spokesperson has since released a statement saying, "George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News." 

OutKick asked ABC on Wednesday if its statement suggests the network believes Biden does have the mental acuity to serve four more years. We will update this story if/when the network responds.

Don't hold your breath.

For context, Stephanopoulos is not a Biden loyalist. His loyalties lie with the Democrat Party. They have since he was the communications director for Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign.

If Stephanopoulos openly tells strangers Biden is not a viable candidate, we can rest assured that is the message he's receiving from powerful Democrats in Washington.

We explained on Tuesday the challenges Biden faces within the party:

Biden is adamant that he will not drop out. But that's not how the Democrat Party works. The Democrat Party has never worked that way.

Democrats will forever shun the Biden name if he stays in the race and loses to Donald Trump. Conversely, the party can promise to forever care for his family and shield them from consequences (say, Hunter) if he acquiesces to its orders.

And Biden has very few powerful allies in Washington to stand up to the heads of the party. 

Reminder, Democrats never pledged loyalty to Biden. The party preferred several other candidates over him in 2020, from Kamala Harris to Pete Buttigieg to Elizabeth Warren. 

It wasn't until Democrats realized the primary was down to Biden and Bernie Sanders, whom they feared could not win a general election, that they threw their support behind Biden, asking other candidates to drop out of the race to bestow their votes upon Biden.

What do the heads of the Democrat Party think of Kamala Harris' chances of beating Trump in the event she replaces Biden before the August convention? 

Listen to George Stephanopoulos over the next few weeks to know.
