Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele ripped President Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race. She also disparaged Biden’s wife Jill Biden for letting the situation get this far.

Biden videoannounced his decision in a tweet on Sunday. He endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president.

Steele, a Democrat, said she knew Biden was in cognitive decline when she interviewed him in 2021.

“I think what we should be is disappointed and angry because it should never have gotten to this point in the first place,” she said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter. “And I don’t even mean since that debacle of a debate on June 27th when the mainstream media just magically decided to admit, ‘Wait, maybe he has some cognitive issues. Maybe he’s not fit to run for reelection. They were lying from top to bottom for years and covering up for him sadly.”

Steele continued: “We should be so disappointed in his family, in his wife. How, as a spouse, could you allow your husband or wife to go ahead and proceed with something so big (and) so important when you know that as a human being, they are not OK? That, to me, is disgusting. That’s what I’ve been saying since I interviewed Joe Biden just a month or two after he took office. That was 3 1/2 years ago and I noticed in my interview before the conversation began that he was struggling.

“Regardless of party, this is heartbreaking happenstance, all of the things that have gone down. But shame on his family for not protecting the man that they claim to love.”

Steele added: “The right thing for America would have been to stop this charade a long, long time ago. But for a variety of reasons, I’m going to say first and foremost ego and power, you decided to stay on until now which does what? It completely screws the Democrat Party. So, if you truly do believe that America comes first and that Americans come first, you would’ve stepped away a long time ago or Jill Biden in 2020 never allow it to get to this point in the first place.”
