The cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s mental decline might be a bigger scandal than Watergate, CNN host Jake Tapper acknowledged Monday. Tapper, the co-author of a new book detailing Democratic efforts to hide Biden’s deteriorating health from the public during his 2024 re-election campaign, was asked by Piers Morgan why he concluded in the book – “Original Sin” – that the efforts to prop up the octogenarian former president were not akin to the 1972 burglary at the Democratic National Committee headquarters that eventually forced Richard Nixon to resign.

But in this case, lots of his voters were in on it, and the others aren’t very perceptive.
Timely-wouldn’t you say?
Just how complicit in this was Mr. Tapper?
Is he trying to turn ‘state’s witness”?
Just wants his book to have legitimacy and sell baby sell.
No, Crossfire Hurricane was “worse than Watergate”.
This was a four-year long takeover of the Executive Branch by unelected, and probably not Senate-confirmed persons who exercised the powers of the Presidency, forged the signature of the actual President, and used their illegitimate cabal to attack their political enemies.
Watergate = 1.0
This = 10,000
And Tapper and others in mainstream media did their very level best to cover up this decline.
Oh please. Jake tapper knows that the steal makes watergate look like me eating a grape in the produce section at keogers
Ol’ Jake is likely baiting the idiotic left and right who just LOVE to reflexively slap on the tired cliche of “-gate” onto every damn scandal, thereby neutering it harmless, forever.
If Jake Tapper believes in “integrity”, he’ll resign from his job at CNN.
This crap about using Watergate as the baseline for corruption has got to stop.
Everything Hillary, Biden, et al., have done is a thousand times worse than that chicken sh!t B&E Watergate joke.
Bidengate?
Jillgate?
Senilitygate?
Dementiagate?
SleepyJoegate?
democraps have done so much lying, fraud, etc over the years, makes watergate look lame
The media covered it up every bit as much as the Democrats.
Nixon’s ‘crime’ was serving on HUAC.
They wanted his scalp ever since.
And you are pretty sure it will be 😴😴😴😴😴. I am.
You are correct. Ever since he took out Helen Douglas, he was a marked man. Called her “The Pink Lady.”
Don’t be fooled, Patriots… buckle up.
There is only one reason the Leftist media has suddenly decided to do a 180 and re-brand the cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline as a scandal “worse than Watergate”.
And although Tapper et al are sounding all contrite and embarrassed that they “could have miss what was right in front of our eyes” - and even fake-acknowledging “you were right and we were wrong” - it’s nothing to do with ‘mea culpa’ or pointing fingers at the Biden administration…
They are preparing to weaponize cognitive decline against President Trump - and never mind that he’s sharp as a tack - since when does the Left need something to be true to make it into a scandal.
Mark my words.. this is the next Russia Russia hoax - we can expect an open letter from “the world’s 200 top mental health experts” to declare him unfit any day now.
Cross your fingers President Trump overcomes this as he has everything else they’ve thrown at him.
They can try. It wont work. It'll just make them look desperate.
“It’ll just make them look desperate.“
I agree - at least it will make them look desperate to the non-brainwashed half.
It’s the other half that worries me - they’ll believe anything - and honestly, I’m pretty sure the brainwashed half is bigger than our half.
