The Allegation of Media Cover-Up

  • 🎯 Megyn Kelly poses a direct question to Jake Tapper regarding accusations that he was part of a media cover-up concerning Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
  • 💡 The criticism suggests that right-wing, independent, and even some mainstream reporters were aware of Biden's struggles but chose willful blindness over honest reporting.

Tapper's Reporting and Findings

  • 🎙️ Tapper explains that after the election, he and Alex interviewed over 200 people, many of whom were Democratic insiders.
  • 🧠 These insiders justified their actions by citing the existential threat of Donald Trump, which they believed necessitated supporting Biden.
  • 🧩 Reporting revealed the existence of two versions of Biden: a serviceable one and a non-functioning Biden, evidenced by moments like forgetting names or losing his train of thought.

Timeline of Cognitive Concerns

  • ⏳ Concerns about Biden's cognitive state reportedly date back as far as 2015, following the death of his son, Beau.
  • 🗣️ Recordings from 2017 of Biden speaking with his ghostwriter also indicated difficulties.
  • 📈 Throughout his presidency, the instances of the "non-functioning Biden" reportedly increased in frequency and severity.
  • ⚠️ A significant downturn was noted in the summer of 2023, coinciding with the collapse of Hunter Biden's plea deal and fears of relapse or overdose.
