The media has given themselves permission to finally discuss how bad Joe’s decline really was. None is more arrogant about it than Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson with their upcoming book: “Original Sin.”

Jake and Alex are attempting to gaslight everyone into believing that EVEN THE MEDIA was kept in the dark by Joe, Jill, and the White House team. Except they knew. We all knew and yet the Democrats and media willfully and deliberately ran cover for Joe for five years. And that includes Jake. 

Here's Jake Tapper incensed over Joe Biden's "stutter" and outraged over claims of Biden's cognitive decline.

Now he's cashing in on a book about Biden's cognitive decline and media cover up. There is no bottom for these people.

Jake almost threw a tantrum trying to shut Lara down. Well now, Jake is peddling his book that claims it wasn’t THEM who turned a blind eye to Joe’s decline. The staff kept everyone in the dark. For example, we here at Victory Girls knew it was bad that Joe needed to take a week-long vacation at Camp David to prep for the debate with President Trump. 

President Joe Biden struggled in practice debates ahead of his disastrous showing against Donald Trump last year — leaving his advisers with little option but to cross their fingers and hope he would be a “game-day performer,” a new book about the collapse of the Democratic administration reveals.

“He was rusty and exhausted when he arrived, essentially sleeping that whole first day. And even after that taking lots of naps,” according to the book, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.

In the mock debates, the authors write, “Biden’s performance ranged from bad to passable … His voice was hard to hear, his delivery was halting, and his answers were all over the place.

“Advisers also told him his mouth was agape when he wasn’t speaking and urged him to close it,” the book goes on. “His voice got raspier as the week went on, to the point that aides couldn’t hear him during mock sessions. Biden kept asking for more cough drops.”

But, it was just…a stutter! No, no it wasn’t ever a stutter. Keep in mind, this debate prep vacation took place AFTER the big celebrity fundraiser in LA hosted by George Clooney, Julia Roberts, with Barak Obama. Want to know how bad THAT event was? Joe didn’t even know who George was. That interaction and the debate debacle is what led George to write his op-ed.

What’s interesting is that The New Yorker implies that all of this was Joe’s fault, and only Joe’s. Umm, no. Better take a look at Jill and all of Joe’s handlers at the White House along with the media. They are ALL to blame. 

But here’s JAKE! Trying mightily to convince us that the “Original Sin” was that the White House kept the media in the dark about Joe’s decline. Uh huh.. not everyone was in the dark.

Not sure how he looks at himself in the mirror.

Maybe he's a vampire and can't see himself.

Karol wrote about Joe’s problems back in 2022. 

Something is wrong with President Joe Biden, and everyone knows it.

It’s funny, sure, but it’s also kind of scary. Who is really running the show at the White House? The president often makes comments about what he’s “allowed” to say, how many press questions he’s permitted to take and which specific reporters he can call on. Who is making these decisions? Is Joe Biden the president or not?

She wrote about his issues and mentioned Joe getting handled by the Easter Bunny during the annual Easter Egg Roll on the White House lawn. She also made a point that we’ve made time and again. Who was really running the show in the White House? It wasn’t Joe running the auto pen machines, and I’d bet you even money that Joe’s pardons for his family weren’t entirely orchestrated by him. 

Aides were actively gaming scenarios involving Joe’s walk, what shoes to wear, providing cue cards and visual cues, and planning if he’d be in a wheelchair during his next term. When you are discussing the highly potential need for a piece of medical equipment to help an elderly person around who just happens to be the President of the United States, there’s a big huge problem. 

But again, Jake is insisting that no one really knew there was a problem until June of 2024 when the debate showed the world that the Emperor had no brains. 

There are many in the media and many Democrats who are STILL running away from reality. Jen Psaki doesn’t want to address the issue. Chuck Schumer wants everyone to look forward! The Washington Post has YET to report on anything from “Original Sin.” Instead they wrote about Joe’s disastrous appearance on “The View” last week. 

Today's "Original Sin" excerpt has an answer to all the liberals who ask, "Why are reporters spending time probing Biden's past when Trump is pushing a radical agenda?" This:

Do you want to know how pissed off people are that Jake and Alex are attempting to gaslight us into believing that THEY didn’t know about Joe’s decline? Penguin, the publisher of their book, actually put together a video promoting the book in an attempt to defend Jake.

As Mark Halperin explains, this is an utter farce. 

It’s such a farce that now there’s a bidding war in Hollywood for the rights to the book! Not a joke!

If a movie is ever made (with George potentially taking on the role of Jake), it will run cover for the media. I’d bet on it.

Scott Jennings points out that the cover-up of Biden's cognitive decline is the "greatest scandal in modern American political history."

Scott Jennings is correct. This is a huge scandal on a multitude of levels. The media’s willful blindness to this IS the “Original Sin.”
