Under the headline, “How Biden’s Stumbles Collided With a Right-Wing Conspiracy Theory,” the New York Times reports Friday that “far-right social media is rife with outlandish, unproven stories of Democratic crimes and rigged elections. Most of those ideas fizzle over time as they fail to come true. But every now and then, one of those stories collides with reality.”

It appears that a conspiracy among Democratic Party elites to push President Joe Biden out of office is one of those times.

Just minutes after the New York Times story was published, Axios reported that “very-connected Democrats, mostly veterans of the Obama and Clinton administrations, are plotting hourly to get [Biden] to withdraw quickly.”

Dubbed by Axios as the “Committee to Unelect the President” this “loose anti-Biden network” is “trading texts, emails and polling, fighting fellow Democrats on TV and X, and circulating stories and arguments by sympathetic journalists and columnists.”

While there is “no command and control” in the group, “almost all are one step away from former presidents Obama or Clinton.”

To be fair to the New York Times, the existing and very real conspiracy to push Biden out of office has not existed for years, as some social media conspiracists claim, and they did not conspire to torpedo Biden’s first debate performance.

But there was very much a conspiracy within the Biden White House to conceal his true mental capacity, a conspiracy many on the right correctly identified long before the debate, a conspiracy that was vehemently denied by the Biden White House and actively covered up by the supposedly nonpartisan journalists at the New York Times.

So yes, there are some outlandish conspiracy theories on social media, but that does not excuse the journalists at the New York Times from failing to report the very real decline in Biden’s mental state.
