This is Jake Tapper and The New Yorker we're talking about, but if half of this report is true, then holy moly.
On Tuesday, The New Yorker published an excerpt from the CNN host's new book, and it's a doozy.
Here's the part where Joe Biden didn't remember mega-famous actor George Clooney, a man he'd met numerous times before.
I remember being told that I was a domestic extremist who peddles in harmful disinformation if I suggested that a dementia patient was running the country.
I’ve been right so many times these past several, maybe even 10 years to the point where I’m just tired of being right lol— CoquitoPapi (@xlPSRlx) May 13, 2025

By the time the 2024 Presidential race had begun, the actor had known Biden for decades and had known him well for fifteen years. He had last seen Biden on December 4, 2022, when Clooney was in D.C. with his wife, Amal, to be celebrated at the Kennedy Center Honors. Biden looked older, sure, but in the East Room of the White House, at the reception for the honorees, the President was playful and seemed cogent enough.
And yet, by 2024, Biden failed to recognize one of the most famous people on the planet, despite personally "knowing him well" for a decade and a half.
This was the President of the United States?
Me, who spent 4 years systematically reporting on the obviously visible decline of our commander-in-chief:
The problem wasn't limited to Clooney.
Clooney was certainly not the only one concerned. Other high-dollar attendees who posed for photographs with Obama and Biden described Biden as slow and almost catatonic. Though they saw pockets of clarity while watching him on television, and onstage later that night, there were obvious brain freezes and clear signs of a mental slide. It was, to some of them, terrifying.
The scary thing is that the Biden campaign only came crashing down when these high-end donors saw the truth for themselves.
All of them had been perfectly content up until that moment to accept what the TV people were telling them.
I also notice that none of them said anything after that fundraiser. Even though Clooney penned an op-ed calling for Biden to step down, they waited until it was politically expedient in the following weeks/months (in the case of this article, almost a year later).
Obama, meanwhile, was apparently confused about his old pal (if you believe Obama didn't know what was going on, I can't help you).
Obama didn't know what to make of how his former running mate was acting. At one point, in a small group of a few dozen top donors, Biden began speaking — barely audibly — and trailed off incoherently. Obama had to jump in and preside. At other moments, during photos, Obama would hop in and finish sentences for him.
Remember when Biden froze and Obama led him off the stage?
No one has been penalized or charged with dereliction of duty over this matter.
In fact, Joe's wife Jill stepped up to take official roles in meetings, despite not being elected to any office herself, and continually led her husband around by the hand.
Then there's Kamala Harris and the Cabinet - those who could invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Biden. They allowed him to stay in the most powerful political office on the planet while he continued to decline, all the while using him to sign hundreds of documents using autopen, like spoiled kids writing checks for themselves on behalf of their dying, unconscious dad.
Maybe the American people should have some answers for that.
LOLOLOL
This picture of drjill on AF One always gets me. What a POS she is - self serving, determined
to rule the world, all the while destroying our country.Hunter was right. She is an entitled c-.
You’re on point........her in a nutshell. And dont forget she was so
obnoxious she couldnt even marshal the public approval needed.
We the People reported that Biden was senile but our lying biased MSM told us we were conspirators. Ow they want us to make them rich by telling us what we already know.
“Think about it, the media knew about Biden’s decline and rather then report the biggest story in their career they covered it “
Not the first time for Democrat presidents.
1893 President Grover Cleveland had secret surgery on a yacht to remove a cancerous tumor from the roof of his mouth. The procedure was extremely risky, even today.
1919 President Woodrow Wilson suffered a severe stroke and was incapacitated until the end of his term of office in 1921. His wife secretly took over many of the president’s duties.
1932-1945. President Franklin Roosevelt. The press covered for his paralysis from polio by not running photographs of him in a wheelchair throughout the 1932 campaign and once elected, to his death. In 1944 he was becoming gravely ill. His declining condition was covered up by staff and the press. By the time of the Yalta Conference in February 1945, he was extremely frail and capitulated to Stalin on a number of issues that shaped the post WWII world. In less than three months from Yalta, Roosevelt died in Georgia with his long time secret lover Lucy Mercer.
1961-1963. President John F Kennedy suffered from Addison’s disease and debilitating back pain for which he wore a brace and took opiate pain killing drugs. His poor health was kept secret from the American people. His extramarital affairs were covered up by his staff, the press, and Washington insiders.
Covering for Democrats presidents is standard operating procedure for the Washington press corps and White House staff.
Especially their agent......................
He never had a stutter. He just couldn’t maintain a train of thought for more than a sentence and often slurred his words. The “stutter “ was a lie they made up to try to explain that.
Jake Tapper has always been a Democratic Party Operative

TAPPER IS EQUALLY GUILTY.
HE NEVER “RECOGNIZED” HOW USELESS BIDEN HAS BEEN FOR 50 +++ YEARS
AND-— SHE DOESN’T HAVE 1/100,000th the brain that MUSK has.
So true....just a conniving predatory opportunistic power whore.
No one on the Left cared about Biden’s cognitive issues. They’re too consumed with their hatred of God, America, conservatives, Jews, and unborn babies. America can be going over a cliff, and the Left won’t care as long as a Republican isn’t in the White House. They’re demonic, so put on the full armor of God.
These latest revelations by Tapper that Biden was senile is no surprise to those of us who saw Old Joe as being unfit to be POTUS from his first day in office. Tappers book, however, leaves two questions unanswered: Why did he and other media members ignore the obvious and be willing partners in the cover up? More importantly, if Biden wasn’t in charge, who was running the country during his four years in office?
