One of the things that has been most disturbing about the cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline has been the insistence by some in the media that we reject the evidence before our own eyes — that we're not seeing what we're seeing, that this Biden is the "best Biden ever."
Meanwhile, Biden couldn't even produce usable footage from a fake town hall for campaign ads, according to the new book "Original Sin." And even up to this week, Joe Scarborough was still trying to defend his claim, saying he never saw the "bad Biden."
He finally came off of it on Wednesday, admitting he was wrong when he had "Original Sin" authors Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson on "Morning Joe" to talk about their book.
Joe Scarborough, Then: This is the best Biden ever, and F YOU if you can’t handle the truth.

Joe Scarborough, Now: I was obviously wrong, but I’m not sure what the takeaway is here.

He's not sure what the takeaway was...How about that you were fooled, and/or defending Biden was more important than the truth?
He had called for Biden to drop out of the race after the debate, but what was wild was that Mika Brzezinski, still, on Wednesday, was saying she thinks that Biden shouldn't have dropped out.
These are the people presuming to bring us the "news."
But perhaps the most interesting moment of the interview was when Tapper revealed to Scarborough that Biden had been working him to convince him he was fit for office. Tapper referred to a conversation Scarborough had on the show with David Ignatius in 2023 about Biden not running again.

"You guys had a robust conversation about this. You largely agreed that you'd been hearing things about this, but that there was no alternative, that Kamala Harris was not up to the job, that's what Democrats were telling you behind the scenes. Joe Biden saw that. Joe Biden said to staffers that he wanted to convince you, that you were wrong. And he focused on you, like you were a constituency. Like you were farmers in Iowa. Like you were the Kiwanis Club in New Hampshire. And he made sure you thought differently."
There are a couple of big things there. First: Scarborough apparently fell for being worked by a man in cognitive decline.
The excuse of being a fool is not a great excuse.
Scarborough learns he was the target of a White House psyop. Hysterical. https://t.co/dDHDxfrXfG

Then, too, tucked away in there is another juicy point: Tapper spoke about Democrats saying Kamala was not up to the job behind the scenes. But then, of course, the Democrats/media tried to sell us that she was.
These people are ridiculous; they keep adding to the reasons why no one should ever trust or vote for any Democrat who had anything to do with this ever again.
