My thoughts about Jake Tapper holding all the information in his book until after the election aside, there have been some very damning revelations about Joe Biden’s health and those who covered it up. At the very least, getting Democrats to admit what those of us in conservative media have been saying for years holds value. Tapper has also gone on record to apologize to Lara Trump, for example, after he previously scorned her for pointing out Biden’s obvious mental failings.
With that said, I’m going to try to put aside my feelings on the CNN host’s obvious attempt to cover his own backside for a moment and instead focus on what he’s saying. Which leads me to the biggest question surrounding everything we’ve learned over the last several weeks of new quotes and sourcing: Who was in charge?
The answer? Hunter Biden was essentially the president.
If you’ve been reading RedState, this will come as no surprise, though again, it’s good to see increased sourcing on the matter. Hunter Biden was everywhere over the last two years of his father’s term, even allegedly accompanying him into classified meetings. There was a real sense that he was leading Joe Biden by the nose, operating as his primary handler, including holding decision-making power.
Tapper also went after Hunter Biden personally, calling him “provably, demonstrably unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions.”
