Tapper and Thompson silent on Biden health for book deal sake: Concha
In a recent commentary, joe Concha from the Washington Examiner criticized CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson for allegedly withholding information about president Joe Biden’s declining health to promote their new book, “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, It’s Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” The book includes interviews with Democratic senators expressing concerns about Biden’s capability to manage national security and foreign policy.
Concha accused Tapper and Thompson of prioritizing their book’s publication over timely reporting on Biden’s health, especially during a critical election period. Despite their silence, tapper later acknowledged that conservative media had been right to raise questions about biden’s mental acuity. Following the book’s release, Biden’s office confirmed that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones, igniting further allegations of a cover-up among those surrounding him.
Tapper and Thompson silent on Biden health for book deal sake: Joe Concha
The Washington Examiner’s Joe Concha blasted CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson for keeping silent on details about former President Joe Biden’s failing health and mental acuity for the sake of publishing their book.
On Tuesday, Tapper and Thompson released their book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, which included interviews with Sens. Mark Warner (D-VA) and Michael Bennet (D-CO) that detail concerns regarding Biden’s ability to handle national security and foreign policy matters.
Concha suggested Tapper and Thompson are just as guilty as those closest to Biden who helped run cover for the former president’s failing mental acuity and health.
“What about Jake Tapper of CNN. He’s supposed to be an anchor. And what about Alex Thompson, who was seated next to him there, of Axios,” Concha told the Evening Edit host Elizabeth MacDonald. “If they had these conversations with senators about Joe Biden and the national security risk that he posed. And people got killed by the way, Liz.”
“Where was Tapper and Thompson?” Concha continued. “They wanted to save this for their book instead of reporting it at the time when it mattered, when we had an election in front of us. That’s why I think everybody’s hands are dirty in this one.”
Since the release of Original Sin, Tapper has admitted that “conservative media was right” in questioning Biden’s mental acuity.
“Conservative media was correct,” Tapper told the Megyn Kelly Show. “There should be a lot of soul-searching — not just among me, but among the legacy media to begin with, all of us — for how this was covered or not covered sufficiently, 100%.”

Last Sunday, Biden’s office disclosed that he was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones.
The announcement further stirred questions and allegations of a cover-up by those closest to the former president.
