Former ESPN anchor Sage Steele urged the Democratic Party to own up to downplaying former President Joe Biden’s mental decline, arguing that doing so is the “first step” in rebuilding trust.
Biden’s decline has been spotlighted following his departure from the White House thanks to a new book, Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, in which CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios national political correspondent Alex Thompson detail how the White House shielded Biden’s “deteriorating” health from the public. Steele, however, pointed out that Tapper became visibly upset at Lara Trump when she was critical over Biden’s “cognitive decline” in 2020, noting that he has yet to apologize and questioning, “Why don’t we start there?”
