A new ad targeting Colorado’s freshman congresswoman from the new 8th District reveals the Democrat made numerous White House visits in recent years yet remained silent about President Biden’s mental failures.
The ad comes on the heels of an investigative report from Fox News that U.S. Rep. Yadira Caraveo and several other House Democrats from critical swing districts traveled to the White House a combined 133 times during Biden’s tenure, met with him privately, and yet remained silent about his deteriorating condition.
Caraveo made seven visits to the White House, four just last year.
Her race against Republican Gabe Evans in the November general election is ranked a “Toss Up” by Cook Political Report.
The ad describes the cover-up by members of Congress as the scandal of the century:
“Our president lacks the mental fitness for office, and Yadira Caraveo covered it up. Caraveo met privately with Joe Biden. She witnessed Biden’s mental failures up close. But allowed crises to rage under Biden’s frail leadership.
“Now Yadira Caraveo ignores our concerns, saying whether Biden is fit for office is “up to the voters.”
“Tell Yadira Caraveo to stop defending Biden when she knows the truth.”
The Fox News report says the questions surrounding Biden’s mental acuity have “plunged the party into crisis and continues to drive a wedge between Biden loyalists and elected officials in swing districts ahead of next month’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago.”
NRCC Spokeswoman Delanie Bomar said the meetings with Biden were revealed through the release of White House logs and criticized Caraveo for remaining silent about the president’s fitness to serve.
“This massive cover up from Yadira Caraveo and House Democrats will go down as the political scandal of the century. They knew Biden wasn’t fit to serve, and chose to be silent while gaslighting Americans,” Bomar said.
Caraveo has repeatedly refused to answer recent media questions about Biden’s mental acuity, shrugging off the potential crisis of a part-time president as “up to the voters.”
