Jake Tapper: Biden coverup "maybe worse than Watergate" [View all]

https://www.yahoo.com/news/jake-tapper-says-cover-biden-011048868.html

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said the cover-up of former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while he was in the White House was “maybe even worse than Watergate” in an interview with Piers Morgan on Monday.

Tapper said the reason the hiding of Biden’s health issues was a bigger deal than the scandal that brought down Richard Nixon’s presidency was because Nixon “was in control of his faculties when he was not drinking.”

Biden, Tapper has said several times on his recent media tour, was showing routine signs of a man who was suffering from a cognitive decline, including forgetting the names of aides and celebrity supporters like George Clooney. A moment earlier, Morgan said he believed the secrecy around the ex-president’s health was a bigger offense than Watergate.
