Reports Allege Biden White House Misled Public Over Cognitive Decline

Multiple reports and a new book titled "Original Sin" by CNN's Jake Tapper and Axios' Alex Thompson reveal that President Joe Biden showed signs of significant cognitive decline during his presidency, including moments of confusion and memory lapses. The Biden White House reportedly attempted to conceal these issues by dismissing viral videos of his behavior as "cheap fakes," a tactic criticized by Tapper as deliberate misinformation. High-profile figures such as George Clooney were not recognized by Biden at events, and aides used various measures to manage his condition in public appearances. The cover-up extended to some members of the media, including CNN's Brian Stelter and Nicolle Wallace, who supported the White House narrative and edited footage misleadingly, leading to accusations of complicity in the deception. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries faced tough questioning about the cover-up but avoided addressing the cognitive decline directly, instead focusing on political talking points. These revelations have sparked controversy regarding transparency about Biden's health and the media's role in shaping public perception.
