Former President Joe Biden’s team knew that he was senile but planned to hide him for four years if he won the election, a brazen deception of the American people.
In an interview with host Shannon Bream on “Fox News Sunday,” Axios reporter Alex Thompson said that one unelected Biden administration official admitted that his handlers were willing to do “undemocratic things” to save “democracy,” showing the extreme to which those really running the country were prepared to go.
Thompson, who along with CNN’s Jake Tapper penned “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” appeared on the conservative network to hawk the book which he penned along with CNN anchor Jake Tapper, and at one point was asked by Bream about a shocking quote from the aide who acknowledged that they knew that Biden was unfit for office, but didn’t care.

Bream told Thompson, “You quote a long-time Biden aide, basically admitting he shouldn’t be running again,” before reading the quote from the book, “‘He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years. –He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while…. His aides could pick up the slack.’”
“Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term?” Bream asked.
The author explained that the unnamed and unelected aide justified the deceit by claiming that “when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him,” a ridiculous concept that takes gaslighting to an entirely new level.
“Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him,” Thompson replied. “But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides, these were unelected people.”
“And one of the things that really I think comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy — you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I think is what this person is talking about,” the author said, seeming to justify the thinking of Biden’s team.
Thompson and Tapper’s book seeks to pin all of the blame for the covering up of Biden’s mental deterioration on the disgraced ex-president’s inner circle and not the media which looked the other way for the entirety of Biden’s term until the CNN debate disaster made it impossible to credibly do so any longer.
“The Joe Biden that people saw on that debate stage… I think the book really shows it was not the first time that Joe Biden had acted like that. You can also listen to the tapes from the Robert Hur investigation. I think you can sort of hear ‘debate Biden,’ and there were increasingly frantic efforts to make sure that the public did not see ‘debate Biden’ while the public did see that he was aging,” Thompson also told Bream.
“They weren’t telling the truth, and I think the book really conclusively shows what was going on behind the scenes,” he said.
