LOS ANGELES.–Former President Joe Biden’s, 82, sudden announcement yesterday that he has Stage 4 prostate cancer threw the press for a loop, especially CNN’s Jake Tapper who’s new book, “Original Sin,” chronicles the extensive White House, Democrat and media cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline. White House officials denounced the idea that Joe suffered from dementia a GOP conspiracy theory, similar to when former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the media’s coverage of her husband’s, former President Bill Clinton, affair with Monica Lewinsky a “vast right wing conspiracy.” This time around the vast right wing conspiracy was about Joe’s mental fitness to run for president a second time. President Donald Trump, 78, questioned Joe’s fitness to run for president in 2020. When Joe won the presidency in 2020, it was especially embarrassing to Trump.
Trump knew in the height of the Covid pandemic, Joe did his best to hide during the 2020 campaign, giving few media appearances, leaving to his advertising team to cast Joe in carefully orchestrated commercials. Trump’s remarks about Biden’s cognitive impairments fell on deaf ears in 2020 with voters overwhelmed with Covid-19, scared for their lives, looking for a change in the White House. Biden’s cover-up of his cognitive problems represent an implacable problems for the public, knowing they could no longer trust the U.S. press. Tapper was part of CNN’s cover-up of Biden’s cognitive problems, hoping it wouldn’t undermine his 2024 presidential campaign. “The Biden White House falsely—when people showed that clip and ask what was going on—and said it was a ‘cheap fake,’” Tapper said. Tapper said the White House called negative statements about Biden a “cheap fake.”
News of Biden’s cognitive problems emerged in the 2020 campaign Feb. 8, 2024 with former Special Counsel Robert Hur releasing his final report. Hur said he couldn’t bring charges against Biden because he was not fit to stand trial. Republicans asked if Biden were not fit to stand trial, how can be possibly fulfill his Constitutional duties? Biden looked frozen when appearing at a White House Juneteenth celebration. Then, Biden wandered off aimlessly at a G7 summit June 13, 2024 in Borgo Egnezia, Italy. White House officials called the videos of Biden wandering of a “cheap fakes,” deliberately misleading videos taking out of context to make Biden look bad. “I think you have all this the ‘cheap fakes’ video. And that’s exactly what they are,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean Pierre-said little other than Joe had a bad night debating Trump June 27, 2024.
Tapper chronicles in his new book, “Original Sin” that the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline was extensive by the White House, Democrats and the press. “There are cheap fakes, [as] Arlette Saenz told CNN’s Erin Burnett who readily accepted the explanation. “The news that a lot of Americans see and the manipulation that’s distorting the 2024 election. That’s tonight on NewsNight,” CNN Abby Phillip said. “The November choice is is between two old men. We know that. But tonight I want to talking to you about the Joe Biden that Republicans want you to see and the pipeline of videos that aren’t telling the truth,” Phillip said. When the public realizes the extent of media bias and corruption at CNN, no one should trust any of their current programming says Trump is destroying he Constitution because of his treatment of deported illegal aliens.
CNN’s chief political host Dana Bash, who co-moderated the debate with colleague Jake Tapper, made sure before the debate voter were totally confused. “A lot of memes and what the White House is calling cheap fakes, which means that there ware videos that are being put out on social media and then amplified on conservative media that in some case are just not right and in other case are high misleading about President Biden,” Bash said. Bash went to great lengths to deceive the public, using her guile and charm with the CNN audience. Most the CNN audience didn’t care if Biden were incapacitated, they weren’t going to vote for Trump. So two days after Bash made the case on “cheap fakes,” she watched firsthand at the June 27 debate, Biden put all his cognitive problems on full display. Then, after the debate, Bash went into damage control mode like all the White House and Democrats.
Whatever integrity Tapper has as a broadcast journalist, he put it all on the line with his book “Original Sin,” trying to expose the White House, Democrats and press cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline. As many as 70 million viewers made their own decisions June 27, 2024, but not before CNN and other liberal outlets tried to deny that Joe wasn’t fit for a second term. Now that he’s disclosed his Stage 4 prostate cancer, Tapper and other journalists tried to make amends must stop talking about Joe’s cognitive problems. Republicans want to know if Joe even knew about all the “auto-pen” pardons giving to anyone who worked on the Jan. 6, House Select Committee who cherry-picked evidence to present to former Special Counsel Jack Smith. When it comes to the cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline, it’s a well-documented fact. All the malicious prosecution of Trump is another matter.
