New Tell-All Book Exposes Alarming Truth About Biden’s Decline—And The Media’s Longstanding Cover-Up
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson are finally admitting what millions of Americans have known—and said—for years: Joe Biden’s physical and mental decline was so severe, even his own inner circle feared he would need a wheelchair during a second term.
The explosive revelation comes from their upcoming book, “Original Sin,” set to hit shelves on May 20, and excerpts already obtained by Axios paint a disturbing portrait of a presidency held together by political theater and media complicity.
“Biden’s physical deterioration—most apparent in his halting walk—had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair,” the authors write.
But Biden’s advisers hid the truth from the public, fearing that a wheelchair-bound president would shatter his already-dim reelection prospects. Instead of transparency, they chose optics over honesty, gambling with national trust for political survival.
A Doctor’s Silent Alarm
The book also implicates White House physician Dr. Kevin O’Connor, who, while publicly projecting calm, privately warned that one more fall could leave Biden unable to walk—or worse.
O’Connor was reportedly concerned that Biden’s schedule was literally killing him, battling with political handlers to allow the president more time to rest and recover.
At one point, his health became so fragile that his own team feared they’d be blamed for breaking him.
Media Collusion? They Knew and Stayed Silent
What makes this revelation even more outrageous is the timing: Tapper and Thompson sat on this information for months—if not years—and only now reveal it, after Biden was forced out of the 2024 race and after the political cost is no longer theirs to bear.
This is not journalism. This is delayed disclosure for profit.
While the American people were gaslit into believing Biden was “fit and effective,” insiders were whispering the truth behind closed doors—and now they want applause for writing a book?
The Official Spin: Gaslighting Continues
In response to the Axios story, a Biden spokesperson doubled down with denial, saying aging is not the same as mental incapacity, and insisting Biden had been an “effective president.” No mention was made of the staff discussions about wheelchairs, falls, or exhaustion.
Translation: “Believe us, not your lying eyes.”
The Bottom Line
This isn’t just a story about Joe Biden’s health—it’s a story about collusion, concealment, and a media-political class that prioritized power over truth.
The American people were misled at every turn by the very institutions sworn to inform them. Now, only after Biden’s exit, the truth is casually repackaged as entertainment in a tell-all book.
The question now is: how many other lies are still waiting to be published—once it’s safe to tell the truth?
