The Washington D.C. world is being flipped upside. It will never look the same.
That’s why Sean Hannity was blown away by what this U.S. Senator just confessed to him on Fox News.
Democrats’ Deceptions and Media Blind Spots Exposed in Biden’s Decline
The unraveling of President Joe Biden’s mental and physical health has become a glaring indictment of the Democratic Party’s leadership failures and the legacy media’s complicity in shielding them. Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy, appearing on “Hannity” Tuesday, didn’t hold back, pinpointing the media’s refusal to confront Biden’s obvious struggles as a betrayal of public trust. “My biggest concern with all of this has to do with the state of the media in America today,” Kennedy said, highlighting a pattern of denial that has left Democrats scrambling and the public misled.
Long before Biden secured the Democratic nomination in 2020, Republicans sounded alarms about his faltering clarity in public appearances. These weren’t mere partisan jabs; they reflected a growing unease about his ability to lead. Yet, Democrats dismissed these concerns as exaggerations, while the media, rather than investigating, often ran interference.
Now, with CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson releasing a book detailing Biden’s mental decline during his presidency, the truth is spilling out—though conveniently after the fact. The timing raises questions about why these revelations were buried for so long.
Kennedy’s frustration boiled over as he recounted the media’s hypocrisy at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. “I listened to speaker after speaker, all Washington reporters, defend freedom of the press,” he said. “I kept thinking they wouldn’t have to defend it if they didn’t work so hard to undermine it every day.” For years, the American public watched Biden struggle through speeches, lose his train of thought, and move with painful slowness. Kennedy didn’t mince words: “We saw a president who couldn’t finish a sentence without taking a nap. We saw an elderly man who talked like he was from outer space. He walked like he was underwater.”
The recent revelation of Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis, announced by his office on Sunday, adds another layer of concern. Described as a “more aggressive form” that has metastasized to the bone, the diagnosis has sparked speculation about its timeline. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, a former Obama administration official, suggested Biden likely had the cancer “at the start of his presidency in 2021,” as it couldn’t have developed in “the last 100, 200 days.” If true, this raises troubling questions about what the administration—and its media allies—knew and when.
Democrats’ insistence on downplaying Biden’s health issues has been a masterclass in evasion. During his presidency, videos of Biden’s public stumbles and incoherent moments circulated widely, yet former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brushed them off as “cheap fakes.” This dismissal wasn’t just tone-deaf; it was a deliberate attempt to gaslight the public into doubting what they could see with their own eyes. The Democratic leadership’s refusal to address these concerns head-on only deepened the perception of a party more concerned with power than truth.
Kennedy’s critique of the media’s failures extends beyond Biden’s health. “Ninety percent of the American media not only never reported that, but when Democrats and many Republicans raised the issue they pushed back,” he said. He pointed to other instances of media malfeasance, like the Steele dossier and the Hunter Biden laptop story, where skepticism gave way to suppression. “There are other examples. The Steele dossier. The Hunter Biden laptop. I could go on and on and on,” Kennedy said, capturing a broader pattern of selective reporting that has eroded public confidence.
The media’s about-face, now eagerly discussing Biden’s decline in light of Tapper’s book, is galling but unsurprising. “Today, after Mr. Tapper’s book is coming out, the media is happy to report it, but none of them have taken responsibility for not reporting what was so obvious to the American people,” Kennedy said. This belated acknowledgment feels less like accountability and more like opportunism, with journalists cashing in on the very truths they once ignored. The hypocrisy, as Kennedy noted, is relentless: “Hypocrisy never takes a vacation around here, I can tell you.”
Even media figures like Tapper, who once defended Biden’s cognitive state, have had to eat their words. In a 2020 interview, Tapper accused Lara Trump of “mocking” Biden’s stutter, only to later admit he was wrong. This reversal, while welcome, does little to undo the damage of years spent deflecting legitimate concerns. Democrats and their media allies painted dissenters as cruel or conspiratorial, all while the evidence of Biden’s struggles mounted in plain sight.
The Democratic Party’s handling of Biden’s presidency reveals a deeper rot: a willingness to prioritize optics over reality. By propping up a leader whose frailties were evident to anyone paying attention, they gambled with the nation’s trust. The media’s role as enablers only compounded the deception, leaving Americans to question not just their leaders but the institutions tasked with holding them accountable. Kennedy’s remarks cut to the core of this failure, exposing a system where truth is too often sacrificed for narrative.
Why did Democrats ignore the red flags? Why did the media stonewall instead of investigate? The answers lie in a toxic blend of partisanship and self-preservation, with both the party and its media allies betting that denial would outlast scrutiny. For now, the public is left to piece together the truth from the wreckage of their credibility.
