Tavis Smiley says the Democrats are “spineless” for bullying President Joe Biden out of the presidential race.
The TV talk show host and author made the statement in an episode of VladTV on Tuesday, Aug. 13.
Smiley expressed his disappointment with the Democratic Party’s treatment of the 81-year-old President. He questioned why the Biden administration agreed to the first presidential debate between Biden and Trump in June.
Smiley said it was only after the debate that he noticed Biden’s frailty and lack of energy. But he was shocked that journalists celebrities, and social media called for Biden to step aside.

Smiley criticized the Democrats for their failure to realize Biden didn’t have the energy to vigorously campaign. He described the party’s actions as “spineless”, and he accused them of betraying Biden.
Smiley condemned the Democratic party for forcing Biden out and putting Kamala Harris in without a primary. He called it a “cowardly” maneuver that compromised the election’s integrity.
