Naomi Biden calls new Tapper book ‘political fairy smut’

Former President Biden’s granddaughter, Naomi, tore into the authors of a forthcoming political book that makes new claims about steps taken in the Biden White House to shield the American public from signs of the former president’s cognitive decline.
In a post Tuesday on X, Naomi Biden said that she just read an early copy of the “silly” book — “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson — and dismissed it as “political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,” adding, “The ones who rarely enter the arena, but profit from the spectacle of those that do.”
“Put simply, it amounts to a bunch of unoriginal, uninspired lies written by irresponsible self promoting journalists out to make a quick buck,” she wrote.
Naomi Biden attacked the book for relying on “unnamed, anonymous sources,” saying it pushes “a self-serving false narrative that absolves them of any responsibility for our current national nightmare.”
She touted her grandfather’s character and said she’s confident the “truth” would be told one day.
