Democrats have learned nothing from the backlash to their constant lies about then-President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
In an interview with Puck, onetime top Biden aide Michael LaRosa admitted the obvious: The staff knew that the ex-prez’s “age was an issue” from “Day 1” and opted for “gaslighting” the public when his behavior raised alarms.
Yet in the same breath, he pushed back against calling this a “coverup” as “a little harsh.”
Not remotely harsh enough, in fact: That the Bidenites, Dems in general and most of the press kept up the deception so long has earned them a lasting distrust — and owning up to the wrong is the necessary first step in recovering any credibility.
Hence the broad contempt for journo Jake Tapper’s announcement that he’s co-authoring “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” due out May 20.
Yes, his co-author Alex Thompson of Axios stands out for not playing along with the coverup, but Tapper was one of the worst.
Will he be dishing on all the details of his complicity?
Again, most of the press actively played along in the gaslighting for four years as Americans watched their president forget where he was, mix up the names of foreign leaders and mumble his way through press conferences.
Tapper even told Lara Trump in 2020 that she had “no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline” when she brought it up.
He also attacked doubters for supposedly making fun of Biden’s lifelong stutter.

Because to do so would be to draw attention to every other instance of the so-called “news” media propagated Democrat Party lies.
BTTT
It was a conspired deception by the media, the Democrats (and many derelict Republicans) to usurp power by means of deception.
The press played a collusive role in the 4-year gaslighting of an aghast America:
<><>watching the president forget where he was,
<><>mix up the names of foreign leaders
<><>mumble his way through press conferences.
<><>swear Hunter the snorter was a “good boy.”
Tapper even told Lara Trump in 2020 that she had “no
standing” to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline”.
He also attacked doubters for supposedly making fun
of what Tapper coyly dubbed “Biden’s lifelong stutter.”
Power-whore drjill was coyly duplicitous about the atrocious debate. She duped voters bigtime.
She alone declared doddering Biden “the winner,”
gushing into the mic, “You answered every question.”
As America stood aghast having witnessed the spectacle of a failed president.
Ironically, the media’s efforts to cover up Biden’s cognitive decline encouraged and enabled him to run for re-election, thereby preventing a more electable candidate from being selected, such as Shapiro or Kelly.
Hindsight is 20 20 vision.
