Conservatives have known for a long time that Democratic Representative Ro Khanna was right when they said that Joe Biden was never fit to run for reelection. Jake Tapper’s shocking new book reveals the elaborate cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline, including the appalling confession. It also shows that White House staff even considered using a wheelchair for the aging president.
Democrats Finally Admit Biden’s Decline
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is breaking ranks with party leadership by acknowledging the obvious truth about President Biden’s mental fitness. The California congressman stated plainly: “It is obvious now to me, based on @jaketapper and others reporting, that he was not in a condition to run for reelection, and he should have made the decision not to.”

This rare moment of Democrat honesty comes as CNN’s Jake Tapper prepares to release his explosive new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” Based on over 200 interviews, the book details shocking incidents of Biden’s cognitive impairment, including failing to recognize Hollywood star George Clooney during an interaction.
President Biden is doubling down on his refusal to bow out of the 2024 race. In a letter to House Democrats on Monday, the Democratic nominee said he would continue his reelection bid despite concerns about his health and ability to beat former President Trump. His remarks come…

While Khanna calls for accountability, Democratic leaders like Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries continue dodging questions about their role in enabling Biden’s candidacy. When pressed about Biden’s fitness revealed in Tapper’s reporting, Schumer deflected: “Kasie, we’re looking forward. We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us–” Jeffries similarly evaded with: “We’re not looking backward.”
Tapper Exposes White House Cover-Up
The revelations in Tapper’s forthcoming book confirm what conservative media has reported for years while mainstream outlets suppressed the truth. According to excerpts, Biden’s staff seriously discussed whether the president needed a wheelchair, highlighting just how severe his physical limitations had become during his time in office.
Tapper’s book doesn’t just expose Biden’s decline but reveals a coordinated effort by Democrats to attack journalists who dared report on the president’s obvious impairment. The CNN anchor specifically criticizes a “smear campaign” against Wall Street Journal reporters who documented Biden’s cognitive issues, showing how far the left would go to hide the truth from American voters.
Penguin Press, the book’s publisher, doesn’t mince words about the gravity of the situation, describing Biden’s decision to seek reelection as “narcissistic, self-delusional, and reckless.” This damning assessment matches what conservative commentators have long maintained – Biden’s ego and his handlers’ political ambitions were placed above the welfare of the nation.
The Disastrous Consequences
Biden’s catastrophic June 27 debate performance against President Trump finally made his condition impossible to hide any longer. That 90-minute disaster, where Biden appeared confused and disoriented, ultimately forced Democratic power brokers to push him out of the race in July, creating a chaotic scramble for a replacement candidate.
Khanna’s demand for party accountability represents a stark break from the typical Democratic playbook of denial and deflection. “To rebuild trust, Democrats must be honest. In light of the facts that have come out, Joe Biden should not have run for reelection, and we should have had an open primary,” the congressman declared, implicitly acknowledging the party’s deception of American voters.
The fallout from this scandal extends far beyond Biden himself, raising serious questions about the judgment and integrity of every Democrat who enabled this charade. While Americans suffered from inflation, border chaos, and international embarrassment, Democratic elites protected a president they knew was not capable of fulfilling his duties – a betrayal of public trust that voters won’t soon forget.
