Democratic politicians and liberal media are trying to push their Joe Biden health cover-up controversy into the rearview mirror. This is one of the biggest modern political scandals, if not the biggest, and they can’t be allowed to punt on it that easily.
The latest attempts to dismiss looking into Biden’s condition as “looking backward” comes as the Justice Department looks into Biden’s use of autopen, and whether Biden “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means,” specifically as it relates to the pardons and commutations he handed down in the final days of his presidency.
Every questionable and controversial decision Biden made during his presidency deserves this kind of extra scrutiny. Liberal journalists, Democratic politicians, and aides have since admitted that Biden’s cognitive decline had started before he was even president. Both Democratic National Committee Vice Chairman David Hogg and liberal journalists Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper claim that the top aide to then-first lady Jill Biden had an “enormous amount of power” (in Hogg’s words) in Biden’s administration. The book from Tapper and Thompson claims the presidency was effectively being run by a “politburo” of aides, none of whom were elected to the powers of the presidency.
That means that Biden’s last-minute pardons, including for his son Hunter and preemptive pardons for members of his family, should be fully investigated. So should Biden’s decision-making, and the decisions of his “politburo” during the Afghanistan withdrawal, which resulted in the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and the stranding of hundreds of Americans at the whims of the Taliban.
WHAT THE POST-BIDEN PRESIDENCY INVESTIGATIONS COULD ACTUALLY REVEAL
Aside from those decisions, even the new “exposés” provide cover to Democrats who participated in Biden’s cover-up. The Tapper and Thompson book granted anonymity to multiple Democrats, including members of his Cabinet, likely the ones who want to run for president themselves. Tapper himself was an active participant in this cover-up, and even now, Thompson wants grace for Biden, who he claims is a “good man.” (Fact check: Joe Biden is a bad person)
This scandal involved the greatest powers of the presidency and persisted with complicity from the Democratic Party and liberal mainstream media. Every single aspect of Biden’s presidency should be put under a microscope, and every aide, operative, and Cabinet official should be hauled in front of Congress to answer for their role in all of this. The country had an absentee president for four years, and wanting explanations for how disastrous that was is not “backward looking.”
