We’ve reported extensively on the utter hypocrisy of “journalists” Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson profiting off their book “Original Sin.” They decry the years-long, craven cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline during his presidency—this despite the fact that they played a central part in it and did everything in their power to keep the story that everyone could see with their own eyes under wraps.

Even if the sullied tome comes from a place of utter dishonesty, one has to admit, however, that it does contain some fascinating nuggets about what was going on in a dysfunctional White House as Jill Biden struggled to keep her wiry grip on the pinnacles of power.

One such revelation is that there was an exact moment when Kamala Harris broke with her former boss and realized he was so far gone that she couldn’t afford to campaign with him. That infamous incident, Tapper and Thompson allege, was when Biden inexplicably donned a Trump hat:

It took putting on a Trump hat for Kamala to wake up? ‘What is he doing?’ Harris asked her team, according to the book. ‘This is completely unhelpful. And so unnecessary.’ The Harris campaign decided they would no longer campaign with Biden in the future, according to the book,… pic.twitter.com/N53394gZZ3

The Harris campaign decided they would no longer campaign with Biden in the future, according to the book, as they were trying to emphasize her leadership qualities and at the same time push the president into the background.

What was he thinking? Or was he thinking at all?

Kamala Harris was left aghast when President Joe Biden donned a “Trump 2024” cap at a Pennsylvania firehouse in a bizarre scene at the height of last year’s presidential race, a bombshell new book has revealed.

During a visit to a Shanksville firehouse while commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Biden, now 82, posed with more than a dozen youngsters clad in pro-Trump attire — then briefly put on the cap after being egged on by a member of the crowd.

“I need that hat,” Biden had told an audience member of the pro-Trump merch, according to the new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson.

Harris was dumbfounded and in that moment realized she needed the then-president to stay the heck off the campaign trail:

“What is he doing?” Harris — by that point the Democratic nominee after Biden ended his re-election bid July 21 — asked her advisers, per Tapper and Thompson.

“This is completely unhelpful,” the veep added. “And so unnecessary….”

At that point, the Democratic campaign decided to stop holding any public events with Biden before the Nov. 5 election — but the president’s unpopular, gaffe-laden presence continued to loom over the campaign.

Republicans, of course, had a field day with it:

Does this mean that poor ole Kamala was just an innocent bystander who was needlessly undermined by her addled commander in chief? Nope. She was up to her eyeballs in the cover-up and has plenty of dirt on her hands:

I think Kamala Harris was going to be governor of California, but now her career is finished.

She cannot avoid the Biden question.

There are only 2 possible answers.

A. She knew and lied.

B. She did not know, which makes her too dumb to run anything. pic.twitter.com/gXMOq9znys

The more we learn, the more terrible it turns out these people really were.

America dodged a bullet when Donald Trump beat Kamala Harris at the ballot box.

One reason why he won is because conservative outlets like RedState kept bringing you the unvarnished truth, and we didn’t try to gaslight you like the mainstream media did.
