ABC News is reporting that Republicans are planning to investigate Biden’s mental decline, but they frame it on Twitter/X and in the actual report as “what they call Biden’s decline.” Jake Tapper and other liberal journalists are writing books about Biden’s mental decline and doing massive media tours to promote these books, but when Republicans decide to investigate, suddenly it’s framed as a partisan accusation.

It was a strategy to flood the country with new Democrat voters in an effort to change the electorate. Jake Tapper claims that Joe Biden’s mental deterioration led to...
