You Vote: As to 'Who missed Biden's mental state,' who are bigger hypocrites, Dems or journalists?

Then-President Biden didn't recognize actor George Clooney at a fundraiser in June, ahead of the presidential debate, according to CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson's new book.

Clooney, a longtime acquaintance of Biden and a major Democratic fundraiser, was surprised at Biden's "diminished" state during the event, per Tapper and Thompson's new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.”

Former President Barack Obama was also at the fundraiser, and "didn’t know what to make of how his former running mate was acting," the book reads.

"At one point, in a small group of a few dozen top donors, Biden began speaking — barely audibly — and trailed off incoherently. Obama had to jump in and preside. At other moments during photos, Obama would hop in and finish sentences for him. The former president decided that the fault lay with Biden’s busy schedule."

Chuck Todd, former host of NBC's Meet the Press, has denied that the mainstream media missed the story of Biden’s mental demise — calling it “right-wing-manufactured” spin.

CNN's Jake Tapper conceded on Wednesday that some of the criticism of him over his new book is "fair," saying that while he did “cover some of these issues” during Biden’s presidency, it was “not enough.”
