Jake Tapper says that the concealment of Biden’s mental decline “can be even worse than Watergate”
The anchor of CNN Jake Tapper said that the concealment of the cognitive decline of former president Joe Biden when he was at the White House was “perhaps even worse than Watergate” in an interview with Piers Morgan on Monday.
Tapper said that the reason for hiding the health problems of Biden was a more important affair than the scandal that lowered the presidency of Richard Nixon because Nixon “controlled his faculties when he did not drink”.
Biden, Tapper said on several occasions during his recent media tour, showed signs of routine from a man who suffered from a cognitive decline, in particular by forgetting the names of aid and celebrity supporters like George Clooney. A moment earlier, Morgan said that he thought that the secret around the health of the former president was a greater offense than Watergate.
Tapper was on Morgan’s “Undessioned” “non -censored” show to promote his new book, “Original Sin”, who examined Biden’s health coverage during his mandate; He was joined by his co-author Alex Thompson.
The veteran anchor of CNN said that several people had played a key role in the secrecy of Biden’s health, notably his wife Jill, who was “seduced” with the lifestyle of being the first lady, he said.
Tapper also said that Biden’s son Hunter was in favor to keep it secret to help protect him against a federal survey on his taxes and illegally buy a firearm. “The best way to protect [Hunter Biden] had to keep the presidency so that they could protect him, “said Tapper.
The two authors participated in a large tour in the media to promote the “original sin” in recent weeks.
Last week, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”, Tapper said that there were “two Joe Bidens” and that the “non -functional” version had been seen more and more over his presidency – culminating in his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump in June 2024. Mino a month later, Biden put an end to his campaign.
Tap, during an interview on his own channel, said that there was “not enough” of coverage of Biden’s health problems, including himself.
And last Tuesday, when he appeared in the program of Megyn Kelly, Tapper said that he had called Lara Trump to apologize to her, after having torn her in 2020 for saying that Biden showed signs of cognitive decline. “She saw something that I did not see at the time,” said Tapper. “100%. And I have this. “
He made a comment similar to Morgan on Monday, saying that many voters could see “what was in front of their noses, [and] Our nose “with regard to the drop in health of Biden,” so congratulations to all those who were on the target. “”
