The Special Counsel report into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents didn't recommend any criminal charges, yet there were comments within it about memory. Those comments were hailed by Donald Trump, but other conservatives see a warning sign flashing.
Some right-wingers are turning to conspiracy theories by suggesting that the special counsel slamming Biden is a bad thing for their side because it shows a plan to replace Biden with someone more palatable to the general public. Many have suggested Gavin Newsom, California's governor.
U.S. Army Iraq War Veteran Peter Henlein picked up on that interaction, saying, "If you think a special counsel report from Biden's own DOJ that explicitly portrays Biden as senile is a victory for the GOP or Trump, you are wrong."

He then added, "They are laying the groundwork for something. Biden would have soundly defeated Trump. Newsom will annihilate him. We MUST change course."
Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis, who pleaded guilty in the Fulton County, Georgia, conspiracy case, shared that message and simply added, "Correct."
Former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy also chimed in after the report dropped:
"I said it last year & I’ll say it again: Biden won’t be the Democratic nominee. Now it’s just starting to get more obvious," he wrote Thursday.
