Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele said interviewing President Biden was “the saddest” because he seemed confused and “couldn’t finish his sentences.”
“He had problems,” Steele said of the oldest president in American history, who “stopped” on some issues even more than two years ago.
“So forget about politics. I don’t care, I didn’t vote for him,” Steele told Bill Maher on his “Club Ransom” podcast on Sunday, admitting that he thinks Biden is “a terrible president.”
“That made me sad, though,” he said of his confusion.
“The human aspect of what we’re witnessing now, to me, is heartbreaking,” he said of the 80-year-old president who faces increasing pressure over his age and a series of gaffes as he runs to remain in office. .
Steele told the comedian that he interviewed Biden in March 2021 for a pre-recorded segment ahead of that year’s MLB Opening Day.

“It was by satellite, not in person,” he explained, noting that they were having technical problems and that he had to detain the CEO while they waited for the problems to be resolved.
“So I had to talk nonsense. I had to chat, waiting for us to start shooting.”
Steele said he couldn’t see the president because his staff kept a lens cap over the camera “until the last second, but you can hear it and we’re chatting.”
“So I can hear him and he says, ‘What is this for? Wait, what’s his name?’” Steele recounted, as Maher began to laugh.
“I was saying, ‘Oh my God!’ And then [an aide] He said, ‘SportsCenter, ESPN.’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, okay.'”
At that moment, the president began to talk to him about his own football career. In high school, Biden was a standout running back and wide receiver. He also briefly played football as a freshman at the University of Delaware.
“And then he started telling football stories about his greatness,” Steele said, noting that he still couldn’t see it.
“He says, ‘I have the best hands.’ What do you say to that?” Steele asked.
“And this is the saddest thing: his voice just faded away. She said, ‘I was good,’ and then she went silent and said…: ‘Uh, never mind.’

“I thought it was very sad because I realized that’s why he was in the basement for the entire election cycle, because even then he couldn’t finish his sentences, he struggled.”
“So forget about politics. I don’t care, I didn’t vote for him,” she revealed. “That made me sad, though.”
Early in the conversation with Maher, Steele said he thinks Biden is a “terrible president.
“Forget about that, though: to me, the human aspect of what we are witnessing now with him is heartbreaking. And it is inexcusable for the family when you found out during the elections.”

The “Real Time with Bill Maher” host mocked Biden on Friday night, describing the president as the “only Democrat who can lose to Trump,” even though the men only have a four-year age difference. .
“Someone has to convince President Biden that if he runs again, he will return the country to Trump and go down… in history as Ruth Bader Biden, the person who does not know when to resign and who therefore causes great damage to her party and his country,” Maher said, referring to the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“What matters is that voters think Biden is too old,” he continued. “What matters is that he is going to lose to Trump.”
