Jake Tapper Reveals Democratic Sources Show No Remorse Covering Biden Decline

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson's new book "Original Sin" exposes a cover-up by Democratic insiders regarding President Joe Biden's mental and physical decline, revealing a lack of remorse or acknowledgment of error among those involved. Tapper noted that while aides admitted Biden's diminished capabilities, none expressed regret for running him again, suggesting a belief that Biden was the only candidate who could defeat Donald Trump. The book details how Democratic leaders privately doubted Biden's fitness but publicly endorsed him, mirroring tactics Republicans used with Trump. House Oversight Chair James Comer has launched an investigation into Biden's use of an autopen to sign documents, raising concerns about who was making decisions in the administration during Biden's final months. The authors criticized Biden's insistence on running for another term despite his condition, calling it anti-democratic and highlighting the denial of a fair primary process. Meanwhile, former Trump press secretary Kayleigh McEnany commented that the revelations partly exonerate much of the Democratic Party, noting that limited access to the president is common, but the book also includes claims of aides considering putting Biden in a wheelchair and recounts alarming interactions reflecting his decline.
