Remember when “Dr” Jill Biden told Jake Tapper he couldn’t talk or mention any of Biden’s Gaffes anymore “because of Donald Trump”?
Maybe this is why Tapper stayed quiet for four years while anyone with a functioning brain could see Biden was toast. pic.twitter.com/19JxPejH4b

Wow, Tapper sure argued long and hard with “Dr.” Jill when she unilaterally announced that her husband’s decades of infamous gaffes were suddenly rendered samizdat in 2020.
UPDATE: Now It Can Be Told: Before Tapper’s Book, Washington Week Host/Atlantic Editor Jeffrey Goldberg Mocked Warnings from Rep. Phillips, Hur.
Washington Week with The Atlantic host (and Atlantic editor) Jeffrey Goldberg devoted a full episode of his latest show, normally a political panel, solely to interviewing journalists Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson about their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
NewsBusters has already covered Goldberg’s insulting arrogance, as if “media critics don’t understand ‘how reporting works’ when journalists cooperated with Biden in denying what was obvious to a large majority of Americans — that Biden wasn’t fit to be president.”
Tapper also brought up a couple of names of people who brought Biden’s decline to national attention in 2024, including former Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who tried to challenge Biden in Democratic primaries, calling attention to Biden’s age and decline, and special counsel Robert Hur, who had famously described Biden in his special counsel report on the former president’s handling of classified documents as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
After Tapper asked rhetorically, “Where are the incentive structures for people in our politics to raise their hand and say, the emperor has no clothes?” Goldberg himself brought up Rep. Phillips’ challenge.
