Jake Tapper may need he stayed in mattress right now.
The CNN star is slated to look on “The Megyn Kelly Present” this afternoon. The podcaster guarantees to skewer Tapper for serving to conceal President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
It may get ugly. It already has for Tapper.

The liberal “Day by day Present” host mocked Tapper for relentlessly plugging his new e book, “Authentic Sin,” which particulars President Biden’s dementia-like state in surprising element.
Now, it may be advised.
Tapper performed a supporting position in masking up Biden’s well being woes, from attacking those that introduced it up (like Lara Trump) to savaging the Wall Avenue Journal reporters who received the story proper.
Looks like a very good time to remind everybody that in 2020 Jake Tapper, first, accused me of constructing enjoyable of individuals with a stutter (an atrocious accusation) after which tried to close me down and ended our interview after I tried to warn individuals of Joe Biden’s very apparent cognitive… pic.twitter.com/ZOxSGQP13J

Tapper had it coming. So, too, does Stewart, besides he’s pretending in any other case.
Late-night TV, together with “Saturday Night time Reside,” did all they may to conceal Biden’s unhappy decline. Hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver both ignored the numerous Biden gaffes or actively spun actuality to faux he was simply an outdated man, not one battling a dementia-like situation.
Stewart is taken into account the dean of late-night political humor. And, every now and then, he places his liberal blinders down to talk straight to his viewers.
And but he did little or no of the sort when it got here to Biden’s cognitive state.
He spoke about Biden Monday night time, suggesting his decline wasn’t a state secret. Everybody knew, he claimed.
“In the event that they got here out and mentioned, yeah, Biden knew about it 5 years in the past, I wouldn’t be shocked. In the event that they got here out and mentioned Biden came upon on Friday, I wouldn’t be shocked. And I perceive the thrill over an insidious Democratic coverup about Joe Biden’s psychological decline. The factor is, although, it was a horrible coverup, as a result of all of us f***ing knew. All of us knew. There was no coverup. Ballot after ballot confirmed huge majorities of the general public thought Biden was too outdated and too out of it to run once more. … And that’s what’s so hilarious about politicians, the coverup doesn’t work when everybody is aware of you’re mendacity and everybody is aware of you’re mendacity, the inform is, while you’re so over-the-top about what you don’t need to inform the reality about.”
Sure, many individuals knew, little doubt. Now we have eyes and ears and noticed all of the clips the place Biden basically short-circuited earlier than our eyes.
Not everybody knew.
Legacy Media collectively lied to the American public. So did Democrat after Democrat after Democrat. And tens of millions took them at their phrase.
Think about if the GOP did the identical factor. Would Stewart reply with a shrug as he did final night time?
The surprising cover-up is excellent fodder for a truth-telling satirist like Stewart. But he principally prevented the topic over the previous year-plus and hasn’t focused those that propagated one of many greatest political lies in fashionable historical past.
Till now.
This week, Biden’s decline is on everybody’s lips – as is the tragic information of his prostate most cancers.
Why now? It’s Clear-Up on Aisle 4 … there’s a mid-term election subsequent 12 months, and this have to be handled and put again beneath the rug.
Stewart did convey up Biden’s age in current months, however by no means with the ferocity the topic demanded.
This February 2024 clip is typical of his strategy.
“Biden’s misplaced a step, however Trump repeatedly says issues at rallies that may warrant a wellness test,” Stewart mentioned to laughs final week. “The query then turns into, what the f‑‑‑ are we doing right here, individuals?”
He received skewered by the Left for that monologue, and he retreated from specializing in Biden’s age points.
Don’t child your self, Stewart. You had been a part of the issue all alongside.
