According to the revelations in the new book “Original Sin,” former president Joe Biden showed evidence of mental deterioration at least three times. In a recent interview with analyst Stephen A. Smith, co-author Jake Tapper detailed these three instances.
In one of the recent episodes of “The Stephen A. Smith Show”, Jake Tapper, co-author of the new book “Original Sin,” revealed more details about the three instances that allegedly showed mental decline from former President Joe Biden.
“When you get new information, most sane, rational people absorb it, and if it goes against what they thought before, they change their mind,” Tapper said. “And I began changing my mind about President Biden and his acuity, I’d say around 2023, which is according to our reporting, there are three moments, according to top aides and people close to Biden, where there really was a deterioration.
“First was 2015, when he had the horrible death of his son, Beau,” he continued. “Then, in 2023, when his son Hunter, who has been battling addiction and having legal troubles, his plea deal fell through. And poor Joe Biden, and I do feel sympathy for him on this, having lost his wife and daughter in that car accident in 1972, having lost Beau in 2015, thought he was going to lose a third son, maybe to suicide, maybe to overdose, and that really had a horrible effect on him.”
“So my only point is I get it that people in the mainstream media were dismissive even after the election of 2020. I don’t think I was one of them. In fact, after the report came out where the special counsel says, “I can’t try this guy. He’s not prosecutable. I can’t get a conviction to a jury. He’ll present just like a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”
Republicans Push for Investigation into Joe Biden’s Health and Decision-Making
Congressional Republicans are intensifying their scrutiny of former President Joe Biden’s health and cognitive state during his time in office, following the revelation of his advanced prostate cancer diagnosis.
Lawmakers are questioning whether signs of Biden’s decline were deliberately concealed from the public and why his condition was not detected earlier. A proposed select committee, led by Representative Buddy Carter, aims to investigate the administration’s handling of Biden’s medical records, as well as the roles played by key figures such as former Vice President Kamala Harris and former First Lady Jill Biden.
Additionally, concerns have been raised about Biden’s use of an autopen to sign official documents, prompting speculation about who was truly authorizing executive orders in his final months in office.
As the investigation gains momentum, legislators are pressing for transparency regarding what officials knew about Joe Biden’s health and when they became aware of it. The House Oversight Committee has reopened its inquiry into Biden’s medical evaluations, requesting interviews with his physician and top aides.
