Jake Tapper Explains it All to You
By M. Walter
Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, Jake Tapper, as told to Alex ThompsonFirst the good: easy to read, lots of shocking, damning anecdotes, and it clocks in at a reasonable length (314 pages).
Now the bad: nearly all the shocking, damning anecdotes are anonymous, and the authors just breeze by the most shocking and damning anecdotes like they’re not the real story… because they weren’t (but should be).
What is Original Sin about? Joe’s physical but mostly cognitive decline. There are hundreds of witnesses to countless dozens of truly shocking episodes of Joe Biden being non compos mentis. That’s the bulk of the book, but given that they got several of these witness testimonies from at least four cabinet members, it’s particularly galling that the 25th Amendment was never invoked and the authors don’t bother to ask any of them why not.
The authors’ real goal with the book was to cover their posteriors for what was clearly the most open secret in Washington: Biden was completely unfit for the presidency as far back as 2017, which, to their credit, they did note. It came on page 98 in a section of the book on the tapes Biden’s post-vice-presidency ghostwriter made.
