CNN pundit Van Jones has attacked Democratic Party insiders, calling their “massive cover-up” of President Biden’s cognitive decline “a crime against this republic.” The startling disclosures in the soon-to-be-published book “Original Sin” reveal how Biden’s inner circle purposefully kept his worsening mental health hidden from voters, paving the way for what some conservatives are referring to as the biggest electoral fraud in contemporary history.
Democrats Accused of “Crime Against Republic” for Biden Cover-Up
Van Jones, a former Obama administration official and prominent Democrat, has broken ranks with his party to condemn what he describes as a deliberate effort to hide President Biden’s cognitive decline from American voters. The accusations stem from revelations in “Original Sin,” a forthcoming book by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios writer Alex Thompson that details Biden’s mental lapses and the coordinated effort to conceal them.

Jones expressed his devastation at learning the extent of the cover-up, having worked closely with Biden during the Obama years. His public condemnation represents a significant crack in the Democratic establishment’s unified front, potentially signaling deeper fractures within the party following their electoral defeat.
Shocking Details Emerge About Biden’s Condition
“I was shocked. I love Joe Biden. I got to work with him when I was part of the Obama administration. I loved him more every day. I was shocked to see his condition when he came out, and so was the world,” Jones stated during a recent CNN appearance.

The book reportedly contains damning evidence that numerous high-ranking Democrats and staff members were aware of Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity but actively worked to hide it from public scrutiny. This deception continued even as Biden insisted on running for reelection, putting party interests ahead of national security and the public’s right to informed voting decisions.
Democrats Face Reckoning and Potential Long-Term Consequences
Jones warned that this scandal could have devastating long-term consequences for the Democratic Party’s credibility with American voters. He urged fellow Democrats to engage in deep self-reflection and reorganization similar to what the party underwent after their 2004 defeat, which eventually led to Barack Obama’s rise to prominence.
“That wasn’t the first time he was in that condition. The book makes it very, very clear there are people who knew and said nothing. And that is a crime against this republic. I think the Democrats are going to pay for a long time for being a part of what is now being revealed to be a massive cover-up.”
Adding to the controversy, former Obama strategist David Axelrod has publicly ridiculed Biden’s recent claim that he could have defeated Trump if he had remained in the race. Axelrod described this belief as “preposterous,” noting that polling before the first presidential debate showed Biden had less than a 5% chance of winning.
Axelrod blamed Biden’s top aide, Mike Donilon, for feeding the president false hope, stating he was “just so tied to Biden emotionally that he could not accept the truth.” This further reinforces the narrative that Biden was surrounded by enablers who were more concerned with maintaining their positions of power than serving the American people’s interests.
“Original Sin” is scheduled for release on Tuesday and promises to deliver even more revelations about how Democratic Party elites systematically misled the American public. The book’s release comes at a pivotal moment when many Americans question the integrity of their political institutions and demand greater transparency from their elected officials.
