Legendary sports broadcaster Bob Costas lashes out at Democrats for 'gaslighting' America about Joe Biden
Iconic sports broadcaster Bob Costas slammed Democrats over their handling of President Joe Biden, accusing the party of 'gaslighting' the American public.
The NBC Sports legend claims it has been 'obvious' for years that the 81-year-old President is in decline.
Biden is under mounting pressure to pull out of this year's election following his 'atrocious' showing in the first debate against Donald Trump.
Costas insists the President 'must be ushered out,' insisting: 'We can no longer indulge (his) delusions."
The legendary anchor also hit out at senior Democrats for not coming clean about Biden's capabilities - and even acting surprised after the debate.

'That one atrocious night was simply writ-large what could be seen for years and years, that he is in serious decline,' Costas told CNN.
'This has been so overwhelmingly obvious for so long. You don’t need a degree in public policy from Harvard to see it and to say it – if you’re willing to say it – anymore than you need a degree from MIT to say two plus two is four. And it makes you wonder whether we’ve been gaslit by the Democrats.'
He added: 'This had to have been obvious to people surrounding the president, people who observed the president... wouldn’t it have been an act of patriotism, if that’s not too overblown a word in this case, to lay that out?'
Costas was asked whether Democrats were in fact caught out by Biden's debate struggles, or whether they were simply ignoring reality.

'I think it’s the latter and it only became more overwhelmingly obvious with the debate performance,' he said.
Costas accused those who continue to defend Biden - by claiming the President simply had a bad night - of ignoring evidence that has been building 'for years.'
'Nobody should be president when they‘re 85 or 86, including the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, but this guy is clearly in decline at this point,' he continued.
'And part of the job, leaving aside whether he can do it for the next four years, is winning the job. And as you just laid out that seems to be nearly impossible at this point.'
