The liberal media outlet Politico sent reporters to nursing homes to watch the debate, where elderly residents blasted Biden for his poor performance.
You can’t possibly make this up. look:
We sent a reporter to watch the debate at an assisted living facility in very blue Maryland, figuring that if there were voters sympathetic to Biden on age, they would be there.
The president is not having an easy time. https://t.co/T4iJ8TSf64

There was a fee for this article from Politico, but Fox News has some details:
Reports say seniors worried about Biden’s debate think “Biden performed poorly”
Multiple seniors and residents at an assisted living facility in Chevy Chase, Maryland, told POLITICO they were upset by President Joe Biden’s debate with former President Trump on Thursday night.
In a rambling statement about the U.S. health care system, Biden declared at the debate: “We finally defeated Medicare.”
Politico reported that 81-year-old Barbara Goldberg “put her head in her hands” after making the statement and repeated Biden’s words as she watched events unfold.
“Have we finally defeated Medicare?” she said.
“I don’t like to see [Biden’s] It’s a gaffe, but I also don’t like seeing Trump lose control and talk nonsense,” Goldberg said.
“I think he was rushed and didn’t look at the camera most of the time,” Meg Maguire, 81, told Politico. Maguire visited the assisted living facility during Thursday night’s debate.
How could this be true?

The media went from “those videos claiming that a weak Biden is a cheap fake” to “sending reporters to nursing homes to see what they think of the president who is supposed to be living with them” very quickly indeed. https://t.co/g07IdnwoQl

It’s like what happened in the Babylon Bee, except it actually happened.
