It was nigh five years ago, on September 12, 2019, that 2020 contender Julián Castro, the Brandon entity’s then-rival, called out its dementia for the world to see:
"Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?"
What ensued was a “Godfather”-like lesson for Castro and — by extension, though it went unsaid — a warning for all other Democrats on the plantation who might countenance this sort of behavior to never again “take sides against the family” in public.

Former Housing Secretary Julián Castro was looking for a boost to his presidential campaign when he took a jab at front-runner Joe Biden in a clash over health care in Thursday night's debate, but the remark has since made him the target of heated criticism over whether he took a disrespectful shot at an elder candidate.
"Are you forgetting what you said two minutes ago?" Castro asked Biden, making many viewers wonder whether he was questioning the former vice president's mental acuity. "Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?"
Following the debate, Biden's advisers* hit hard on Castro's comments, saying he hadn't learned the lessons of previous attacks on Biden — that they backfire. "It was a cheap shot and a question Castro should answer,” said Anita Dunn, a Biden adviser…
University of Maryland political scientist Stella Rouse said Castro "went somewhere where he didn't need to go."
"I think it will do more to turn people off — I don't think he did himself any favors and I don't think it will move the needle a lot," said Rouse, adding that many Latinos like Biden.
*By “Biden’s advisers,” NBC News means Biden’s literal salaried advisers as well as, de facto, NBC News and every other corporate state media outlet that protects treasured elder members of the Democrat machine at all costs.

"The View" hosts had some biting criticism Friday for former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro after he seemed to take a shot at former Vice President Joe Biden's memory.
Castro, 44, had asked Biden, 76, on Thursday night whether he forgot what he said on health care just "two minutes" before their exchange. For "The View," that comment seemed like a clear attack on Biden's age -- an issue that's been raised multiple times during the 2020 primary season.
"This 'old' thing has got to stop because 25 percent of the electorate is over 65, and they vote. I'm one of them," co-host Joy Behar said.
"And I vote, so be careful what you do with old people because we will turn on you," she added. Behar went on to question Castro's own mental abilities, arguing that he seemed not to learn a lesson from Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., whose poll numbers rose but then dropped shortly after attacking Biden at the first debate.
All it took was a single news cycle of pearl-clutching scolding from the liberal banshees.
Castro, from then on, folded like a cheap lawn chair and shut his mouth like a good boy, never to bring up his rival’s dementia in public again.
From then on, the fatwa had been issued to the Democrat jihadis: keep your concerns to yourself or face excommunication.
That held until — ever so briefly — the propaganda dam appeared to break in the immediate aftermath and panic of the Brandon entity’s on-stage total meltdown Thursday night.
But you didn’t really think the corporate state media had a bottom, did you?
As of Saturday, less than 48 hours later, they’re back at the gaslighting in an apparent bid to keep the Brandon entity in place — after all, having a braindead puppet in place to rubberstamp everything the Deep State wants suits it just fine — and hope they can rig the vote significantly enough to tip the scales, even in the face of its performance two nights ago.
