Jake Tapper took to X on Monday with a single wide-eyed emoji and a screenshot from former First Lady Jill Biden’s new memoir, View from the East Wing. The excerpt features Jill insisting that in the summer of 2024, her husband showed zero signs of cognitive impairment. She claimed that if Joe had reached the point where he couldn’t do the job, he would have stepped down immediately—and that neither she nor his staff would have hesitated to say so.

Tapper’s not-so-subtle emoji landed like a confession from a guy who spent years insisting the emperor was fully dressed. Where was this sudden skepticism when it actually mattered?
You blamed Biden’s cognitive impairment on a stutter. Sit this one out, Jakey.

Are you going to call this obvious lie out or just stare?

He's pretending he's shocked that she would say that, since you know, he and the rest of the media were so upfront about Joe's struggles. Yeah, that's it.
Meanwhile here is what “trusted journalist” Scott Pelley was saying about Biden…(oh yeah you did too Jake)….when do you all get held to the same standard for lying to the public on behalf of the administration? When do you admit YOU all are responsible for the loss of trust? https://t.co/O1jd1IKU1g

See what we mean?
You put forth the same message for four years and then tried to play it off. You’re a fraud and a clown.

Apologies to frauds and clowns who may be reading this.
Jake, you were part of the problem. You knew.

He wants us to forget he knew and didn't bother to really report on this until Biden was out of office and he could write his book. Just sayin'.
