Biden cover-up marks the end of the 'conspiracy theory' defense

It’s no secret that political parties rely on a well-worn playbook for their daily operations. Leaders convene, a play is chosen, the ball is snapped.

During his weekly presser, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) ran a Democratic staple, the equivalent of a running back dive between the tackles. In response to questions about the cover-up of former President Joe Biden‘s declining health and cancer diagnosis, Jeffries accused Republicans of “peddling conspiracy theories” intended to make us look “backward at a time when they are actually taking healthcare away from the American people. No, as House Democrats, we are going to look forward.”
