CNN’s Tapper: The W.H. Lied to Everyone on How Bad Things Had Gotten with Biden’s Decline

SINDER You have an ░░░░░░░░ White House press corps ░░░░░░░░ following him around And ░░░░░░░░ m just curious as ░░░░░░░░ whether or not this ░░░░░░░░ of trying to hide ░░░░░░░░ was happening with the ░░░░░░░░ at the time had ░░░░░░░░ impact on the press ░░░░░░░░ Like why didn t ░░░░░░░░ hear some of these ░░░░░░░░ from what they actually ░░░░░░░░ and were dealing with ░░░░░░░░ to get information TAPPER ░░░░░░░░ Alex Thompson and I ░░░░░░░░ on the case as ░░░░░░░░ lots of other reporters ░░░░░░░░ to figure out what ░░░░░░░░ going on behind the ░░░░░░░░ But the bottom line ░░░░░░░░ the White House was ░░░░░░░░ not only to the ░░░░░░░░ not only to the ░░░░░░░░ but they were lying ░░░░░░░░ members of their own ░░░░░░░░ They were lying to ░░░░░░░░ House staffers They were ░░░░░░░░ to Democratic members of ░░░░░░░░ to donors about how ░░░░░░░░ things had gotten And ░░░░░░░░ fact Alex and I ░░░░░░░░ writing this book after ░░░░░░░░ election of 2024 and ░░░░░░░░ spoke with more than ░░░░░░░░ people most of whom ░░░░░░░░ all of whom were ░░░░░░░░ and almost all of ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t be honest ░░░░░░░░ us or wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ candid with us until ░░░░░░░░ the election And then ░░░░░░░░ the election we found ░░░░░░░░ all of these things ░░░░░░░░ when you looked at ░░░░░░░░ was going on with ░░░░░░░░ Biden at the time ░░░░░░░░ probably doesn t surprise ░░░░░░░░ the extent to which ░░░░░░░░ was deteriorating But now ░░░░░░░░ have anecdotes and facts ░░░░░░░░ what was really going ░░░░░░░░ behind the scenes with ░░░░░░░░ that Democrats wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ with us until after ░░░░░░░░ Day.”
