There are a lot of reasons why I’ve been reluctant to discuss the new book from Jake Tapper about how Joe Biden’s staff tried to hide his mental decline during the presidential campaign. For one thing, it’s old news; Joe Biden lost the election a long time ago. It’s a bit like reading about how OJ Simpson’s lawyers secretly knew that he did it. By this point, no one cares, nor is anyone surprised by it. And for another thing, everyone knows that Jake Tapper, like the rest of the news media, was directly involved in covering up the slow-motion transformation of Joe Biden’s brain into applesauce. So there’s no credibility to this book whatsoever. It is a transparent effort by Democrats to throw Joe Biden under the bus and absolve themselves of the 2024 election loss so that they can retain a shred of credibility and remain in positions of power within the party.
All that…
