29. I won't change the title. You don't have to watch the video, but I think you are missing the context

Tapper is currently engaging in propaganda to sell his book, as well as appearing in RW spaces to do so. Telling them they were right all along.
To be fair, saying you think Biden was too old to serve a second term is not the same as saying he is in mental decline and sundowning and there was a conspiracy to cover it up. A conspiracy, worse than Watergate. A conspiracy that Joe Biden participated in to deceive the public.
He accuses Biden's family of being part of the cover up, smearing Jill Biden, whom he claims was enamored with the lifestyle of being First Lady so she lied to JB about his chances and was part of the cover up. He also claims Hunter was part of the cover- up to save himself from going to jail.

The worst part of all this, is Tapper admits that there is no evidence that Biden failed to do his job as president in any way. The sources giving him information, also said the same. They attested to him making sound decisions. That little tidbit is in the book.
Yet, he is not promoting that part in all his interviews with RW hosts. Just feeding them more propaganda.
What Tapper is doing is on another level.
