Political analyst Mark Halperin on Tuesday dismantled the premise that CNN anchor Jake Tapper was one of the journalists who dug into the fact that Bisen was a vegetable. Far from it. He was one of the people spreading misinformation that Biden was as sound as the dollar, and we all know what the dollar was worth under Biden. Tapper was a major part of the cover-up.
The publisher of Tapper’s upcoming book, “Original Sin,” Penguin Press, posted a promotional video on May 5 But that video was cut short and Halperin played the full clip that told a very different story.
Halperin said:
“The publisher did as good a job as it could to find clips of Jake Tapper seeming to be at least interested in the topic of Joe Biden’s mental decline. So, we thought, ‘Well, what are the counters to that?’ Because I know that no one at CNN was particularly aggressive about this, and I had no indication from my memory that Jake Tapper was aggressive. So, we went and looked at the full appearances, the full segments … to ask ourselves, did the full clips demonstrate that Jake Tapper, in attitude and determination and focus was in real time, during the campaign, during Biden’s presidency, interested in getting to the bottom of this?”
“So, let’s look at some of the clips from the publisher video, but beyond what they chose to include. Here is Joe Biden’s interview with Jake Tapper in 2022.”

He’s simply saying there’s a poll that says Democrats don’t like you. So I look at that and I say that’s not the way I would have asked it. That’s not a guy who was determined to get beyond just asking about a poll. That’s a guy who wanted to wish that president a happy birthday.”
“Here again he asked the pro-forma question. She bats it away with one of their usual lines of spin: ‘Oh, he’s so energetic, he runs circles around the younger staff.’ There’s no evidence of it — it’s a made-up piece of spin, and he seemed to accept it there.”
The political analyst then played a longer version of Tapper’s interview with then-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre from August 2023. Jean-Pierre said that people in the White House press corps. told her they found it difficult to “keep up with” Biden after Tapper told her that polling had shown the vast majority of Americans were worried about his age.
Moreover, Halperin played a longer version of Tapper’s February 2024 interview with former communications director Kate Bedingfield, where she humorously brushed off Biden’s memory lapses as something that swing-state voters weren’t concerned about.
“Here is perhaps the biggest tell of all: if you’re a reporter and you are determined to get to the bottom of this — if you think there may be a cover-up at the highest levels of the government, a potential constitutional crisis — you would not treat Biden officials with humor or lightness,” he said. “You would be tough and determined to get to the bottom of it. You don’t ask about it in the context of polls, which is the way he mostly asked about it. You don’t accept spin that voters don’t care.”
“If you really are concerned about getting to the bottom of this, you ask the question — it just is so funny I even have to say this — you ask the question about specific incidents and how they would explain it,” he continued.
The political analyst then noted that Biden publicly appeared to call on the late Republican Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski to stand up in September 2022, seeming to forget that she had died in a car crash the previous month. He argued that it was a significant lapse.
