Why are the Bidens considered untrustworthy?
I think the reason why the table needs to be set here is because I think one of the biggest mistakes, maybe the biggest through line of all for the way Bidens have been covered is the Bidens, it is regularly said, are a good family. They're decent people. And I'm not here to tell you they're worse than the Trumps or worse than Nixon, but I'm here to tell you that the mythology that the Bidens are good people who don't lie is not borne out by the facts, and that's increasingly front and center in sharp relief this week. We know that they didn't tell the truth about Biden, Inc. We know that. We know the president in the debate in 2020 against Donald Trump did not tell the truth when asked about Hunter's business. I'm not here to sit in moral judgment of them. I'm not here again to tell you that Joe Biden is a bigger liar by some metrics than Donald Trump.
What I am here to tell you again is this has been a horrible mistake on the part of the media to treat the Bidens like they walk on water. Four strands right now put in sharp relief. this issue. First, the release last Friday of the audio tape of Joe Biden's conversations with Special Counsel Herr regarding the issue of whether he improperly took classified material out of the White House.
What are the implications of Biden's cancer diagnosis timing?
That audio was blocked from release by the Biden White House. They've made up reasons why they blocked it, but the reason that they blocked it was because it would have been politically devastating had it been released when he was still trying to run for president. The second strand is all these questions about his mental acuity tied to the new book out today by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson related to the degree to which Joe Biden declined and the degree to which people around Joe Biden covered it up. Now I've said before, I don't think the book actually delivers on the question of who covered up what, they hint at it, but I don't think they fully deliver on it, but there's no doubt that they are saying belatedly, in the case of Jake Tapper, less belatedly in the case of Alex Thompson, what was obvious to all, and I'll talk about that Then we've got the diagnosis announced conveniently by the Bidens.
I feel horrible for the president and his family to go through another case of cancer after they lost Beau to cancer. But the question of the timing, which even Biden loyalists have said to me, doesn't make sense to say that the president was suddenly diagnosed on Friday and announced halfway through the release from the time that her tapes were released until the release of the book.
