In classic liberal fashion, the co-hosts of *The View* had a collective meltdown on Tuesday—not over President Biden’s alarming mental decline or the stunning efforts to conceal it from the American public—but over the fact that anyone dared to report on it.
The latest firestorm came after CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson released their explosive new book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. The book lays bare what many Americans have suspected for years: Joe Biden is not mentally fit to serve, and the Democratic machine has been working overtime to hide it.
Instead of confronting that uncomfortable truth, the liberal ladies of *The View* did what they do best—deflect, deny, and desperately pivot back to Donald Trump.
Joy Behar, in particular, mocked Tapper’s reporting, whining that CNN had become a place to “hawk books” and sarcastically asking if Wolf Blitzer would be next with a cookbook. She then turned the tables by asking, “When is Jake Tapper going to write about the cognitive decline of the person in charge right now?”—a bizarre attempt to pretend that Trump, not Biden, is sitting in the Oval Office.
Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg dismissed the book outright, expressing disbelief that “hundreds of people” could have known about Biden’s cognitive struggles and said nothing—completely missing the point that many did stay silent, which *is* the cover-up.
Sunny Hostin chimed in not to question Biden’s competence, but to bash former Trump officials like John Bolton and Bill Barr for writing books after leaving office. Rather than focusing on the very real threat of a mentally unfit president being shielded from scrutiny, Hostin preferred to revive old grievances about Trump-era tell-alls. It was pure whataboutism, and the audience ate it up.
Thankfully, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin—one of the rare voices of reason on the panel—pushed back. She called out the blatant hypocrisy on the Left: “They’re all about standing with the press when journalists go after Trump. But when it’s their guy under the microscope? Suddenly it’s ‘fairy dust’ and lies.”
Griffin noted that even Biden’s own granddaughter, Naomi Biden, dismissed the book as “political fairy smut.” Apparently, to Democrats, it’s now anti-democracy to hold their own accountable—unless it’s politically convenient.
The Bidens, for their part, have attempted to control the narrative with a carefully staged interview on *The View* earlier this month. Joe, looking frail and confused, denied the book’s claims, while Jill Biden rushed to his defense, insisting that none of the authors “were in the White House with us.” That’s not exactly a compelling rebuttal—especially as anonymous staffers and insiders increasingly leak damning accounts of Biden’s mental decline.
In the end, *The View* co-hosts didn’t offer any reassurance to the millions of Americans concerned about who’s really running the country. Instead, they reminded us that when the Left is backed into a corner, they don’t deal in facts—they attack the messenger, change the subject, and pretend reality isn’t happening.
