Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he believes former President Barack Obama is running the Biden administration.
Gingrich made the remarks during an interview on Fox News on “Hannity” with guest host Pete Hegseth.
According to Gingrich, Biden may be unaware of what’s going on since he is focused on going on vacations while the country battles various crises.
“He has a pretty decent life, and it doesn’t occur to him that all these other things that are piling up in a way that will be an absolute disaster for the Democratic Party,” he said.
“My personal guess is the driving force behind the Biden administration is Barack Obama,” he added.
“Obama is the only president since Woodrow Wilson to stay in Washington, and in Wilson’s case, he stayed because he had a severe stroke and he could not be moved.”

“So the fact that Obama is here all the time, the fact that his staff permeates, literally permeates the Biden administration, and Obama is really, really smart,” he continued.
“Whatever Biden’s problems are at being kind of slow and cognitively decaying, Obama doesn’t have any of those problem,” the former House Speaker said.
“If you watched the administration, it is much more an Obama administration than, say, the Joe Biden of 10 or 15 years ago.”
“This is a very radical, very left-wing administration deeply dedicated to policies that are close to crazy,” he concluded.
“Their electric car policy is a disaster. As President Trump said, this will destroy at least 100,000 jobs and will achieve nothing in the long run,” he added.
“Their policies, they might propose that Americans are limited to two beers a week — the kind of petty nanny state interference that most Americans will find crazy.”
The assertion that Obama is running the Biden administration is nothing new.
In July, The Daily Fetched reported that Obama is working behind the scenes to remove Joe Biden as it is becoming undeniably clear he is “too old” to win, according to a report.
Obama recently hosted several meetings with younger House Democrats which took place over cheese and crackers in Obama’s Washington office,” Politico’s Jonathan Martin reported.
While it is unclear what was discussed, the low-profile meeting raises questions about why Obama would be getting involved at this point, especially as Joe Biden appears to be becoming a liablity.
