Dems and their media lapdogs hid Bidens senility for years, and the public must never forget it

Chris Cillizza, formerly of The Washington Post and CNN, just recorded a mea culpa about how, “as a reporter,” he “should have pushed harder earlier for more information about Joe Biden’s mental and physical well-being and any signs of decline.” Give us a break.This is the same “journalist” who penned the outraged CNN news analysis, “Republicans keep trying to make Biden’s mental capacity an issue” back in August 2021, months after White House aides had begun secretly rescheduling national-security briefings because the prez had “good days and bad days.”That’s just one of the revelations in this week’s landmark Wall Street Journal report that top staff knew about Biden’s cognitive decline from Day 1 — and covered it up.They not only hid him from the public eye, they minimized face-to-face meetings with members of Congress and even his Cabinet members.And Cillizza and the rest of the prestige media played along, regularly attacking Republicans and dissenting media for even raising the obvious issue.
