Jake Tapper’s book on former President Joe Biden’s mental incompetency is more than hypocritical; it is outright laughable.
What a bombshell! Jake Tapper of CNN just wrote a book telling us something earth shattering: Joe Biden was experiencing mental deterioration while in office. Well, surprise, surprise! Who would’ve known?
Certainly not Jake Tapper from CNN. In fact, when Lara Trump was on his show years ago pointing out Biden‘s deteriorating mental capacity, Tapper — the self-important, sanctimonious, condescending, so-called “journalist” — felt the need to dress her down as having no medical standing by which to make such a judgment. In fact, he mocked and berated her for supposedly making fun of Biden, a man who once had to overcome a stutter. Yes, Tapper was attributing Biden’s obvious decline to his one-time stuttering problem and was lambasting anyone who would suggest anything to the contrary.
And, now, Tapper has the temerity to write a book seeking to make money off his lie. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain and an ounce of objectivity that the former president was in serious decline.
We would be OK with this if someone adopted the attitude of HBO comedian Bill Maher, who acknowledged Biden’s decline, but hated Donald Trump so much that he said he’d vote for Biden’s brain in a bottle of blue gel over Trump. A bizarre statement, but one that we can respect. He’s acknowledging Biden’s incapacity, but made the political judgment that he thought it was the better alternative than the flawed Trump. It’s the same rationale that many Trump voters used when dismissing his many flaws. He’s better than the alternative, they’d say.
But for Tapper, the overwhelming majority of the Democratic Party leadership and their many pawns in the media, it was all about pretending Biden’s incapacity was not happening and labeling those who were telling the truth as being conspiracy theorists.
Tapper and his fellow journos are now trying to rewrite history to say that they were duped by Democratic insiders. Duped? Of course, the insiders were lying. That’s what political insiders do. But these journalists are so in bed with the Democrats that they eagerly played along. These journalists weren’t just lied to. They then turned around and lied to their viewers, parroting these lies being told by the Democrats.
Meanwhile, little old ladies in Iowa watching TV every day saw Biden stumbling on his words, shaking hands with invisible people and roaming around aimlessly.
This was one of the darkest chapters in journalism history. Those who played along with the lie, such as Tapper and former Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd, should stop blaming the Democrats for putting one over on them. They were in on it from the start and we all know it. Shame on you.
