What is it about high-profile Democrats that their most peculiar form of acrobatics is falling both UP and DOWN the stairs?
Yesterday it was media-installed President Joe Biden taking a tumble, twice falling UP a railed stairway when attempting to negotiate boarding Air Force One.She lost her balance briefly while climbing the steps of a home for ex-offenders and substance abusers on the grounds of the former Charleston Navy Yard in February 2016. She was helped up by her aides.“What is it with Hillary and stairs? Clinton slips twice during trip to India - five months after she broke her toe in a London hotel: (DailyMail, March 13, 2018)
• Hillary Clinton again slipped on stairs during a visit to India on Monday • She is there promoting her book explaining her 2016 presidential loss • Blamed voters who 'didn’t like black people getting rights' in her remarks • Follows her October 2017 spill in a London hotel that left her with broken toe • Clinton's September 2016 collapse at the 9/11 memorial raised health concerns.” “Hillary Clinton has slipped on a set of stairs yet again, just five months after breaking her toe in London. "Cameras were rolling in Mandu, India on Monday as Clinton descended a set of stone stairs at the Jahaj Maha palace and slipped not once but twice even as aides held her by the arms. "After the second slip, Clinton kicked off her sandals and proceeded the rest of the way down the steps without incident.”

“The latest evidence comes in the form of Clinton being helped up a set of stairs by multiple individuals outside what appears to be a home. “The photos, published by Reuters and Getty in February but only now gaining national attention, show the 68-year-old candidate with aides holding her arms as she ascends the stairs.”“Clinton, wobbly on her feet during the 2016 presidential campaign particularly on stairs, fell twice coming down the stairs in Mandu, India in 2017, even though being held up by two burly ‘men folk’.(Canada Free Press, March 13, 2018-) Clinton’s 2016 9/11 memorial collapse, when she had to be hefted into a waiting van like a sack of potatoes, was shocking to see. When Clinton wasn’t falling she was suffering from seemingly chronic coughing fits.
“Biden poked fun at Trump last September, months after the former president was filmed gingerly walking down a ramp following his commencement address at the U.S. Military Academy. Trump critics, including the Lincoln Project, later used the footage in social media posts and ads questioning his fitness. "Look at how he steps and look how I step," Biden said at the time. "Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps.” “Conservatives seized on Biden’s remarks after he was caught on camera stumbling several times while climbing the steps to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews. Biden appeared to briefly favor his knee before completing the climb. “Donald Trump Jr. was among the Biden critics who commented on his stumble, asserting that media outlets targeted Trump for his walk down the ramp. "I remember the press bashing Trump for touching the rail once. Biden falls repeatedly but I’m sure he’s the picture of health," Trump Jr. wrote. "No wonder all our enemies are pouncing simultaneously and mocking him publicly.” “White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield tweeted this afternoon that Biden was fine. "I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him," Bedingfield said. "Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.”
"The president was briskly climbing the stairs to the presidential jet before appearing to trip, attempting to gather himself, then tripping again.Proving that the winds don’t just blow out turbines during rare winter storms in Texas, Fox News reported that a reporter in the pool following Biden reported that “it’s a windy day at Andrews”.
“From one camera angle, Biden's entire torso went out of view when he stumbled the second time, though his hand can be seen still holding onto the railing of the jet stairs. Biden then got up and made it the rest of the way up the jet stairs. (Fox News) “Another video angle shows that Biden was down on his knee for a moment, before getting up and pausing briefly with one hand on the railing and the other rubbing his knee.”No Democrat or media said “WHOOPSIE!” when Biden took two spills on the stairs yesterday. Bedingfield wrote it off as “Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs”.
“Biden in December fractured his foot while chasing his dog. (Fox News) “Top American leaders have a history of struggling with the stairs used to board the aircraft meant to carry them around the world and keep them safe from attack. “Shouldn’t that more accurately be that “top Democrat leaders “have a history of struggling with the stairs?” So wuzzup with top Democrats falling up stairs? Could it possibly be that anointed Dem leaders are being administered some kind of drug to make them appear hale and healthy when they’re out in public? If so, the meds Dems could be having prescribed for their leaders—just like the leaders—are not up to the job they’re supposed to do.
