Senator Eric Schmitt, a prominent political figure, has recently shared a series of tweets addressing concerns about the administration of President Joe Biden. The tweets reflect his critical stance on Biden's capabilities and the handling of his presidency.

On June 17, 2025, Senator Schmitt posted that "Biden forgot his own Defense Secretary's name," and during a speech, "asked where a deceased congresswoman was in the crowd." He further claimed that by the end of Biden's term, "he could barely walk." "But you didn't need special insider knowledge to see what was happening."

In another tweet from the same day, Schmitt asserted that there is only now an emerging understanding of what he describes as a betrayal. According to him, "Biden didn't meet with his own Cabinet for months," and senior officials had limited interaction with him. He alleged that public appearances were staged and answers scripted, with orders being signed by autopen. "We're only just beginning to get a detailed picture of the full extent of this betrayal."

Senator Schmitt also commented on how the media handled these issues. He criticized their response as insufficiently accountable, stating that they did not simply miss the story but ignored it despite its apparent nature. "This is a clever two-step—it sounds like an apology, but in reality, it absolves the media of their true role in the scandal."

The context surrounding these remarks involves ongoing debates about President Biden's health and leadership during his time in office.
