If she knew all along, then she lied to keep him (and her) in power.
That should disqualify her from ascending to the presidency.

If she didn’t know of Biden’s condition all along, then—by repeatedly and emphatically telling us Biden was fit for office—she lied to keep him (and her) in power.
That, too, should disqualify her from ascending to the presidency.

Kamala Harris didn’t accomplish this alone, by any means.
She had help from the mainstream news media.

She had help from anyone and everyone willing to join in to pile on anyone who questioned Biden’s fitness for office, disparaging them as crazy conspiracy theorists.
