Jon Stewart Ignores His Critical Role in Biden Cover-Up
Jake Tapper may wish he stayed in bed today.
The CNN star is slated to appear on “The Megyn Kelly Show” this afternoon. The podcaster promises to skewer Tapper for helping hide President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
It could get ugly. It already has for Tapper.

The liberal “Daily Show” host mocked Tapper for relentlessly plugging his new book, “Original Sin,” which details President Biden’s dementia-like state in shocking detail.
Now, it can be told.
Tapper played a supporting role in covering up Biden’s health woes, from attacking those who brought it up (like Lara Trump) to savaging the Wall Street Journal reporters who got the story right.
Seems like a good time to remind everyone that in 2020 Jake Tapper, first, accused me of making fun of people with a stutter (an atrocious accusation) and then attempted to shut me down and ended our interview when I tried to warn people of Joe Biden’s very obvious cognitive… pic.twitter.com/ZOxSGQP13J

Tapper had it coming. So, too, does Stewart, except he’s pretending otherwise.
Late-night TV, along with “Saturday Night Live,” did all they could to hide Biden’s sad decline. Hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert and John Oliver either ignored the countless Biden gaffes or actively spun reality to pretend he was just an old man, not one battling a dementia-like condition.
Stewart is considered the dean of late-night political humor. And, on occasion, he puts his liberal blinders down to speak straight to his audience.
And yet he did very little of the kind when it came to Biden’s cognitive state.
He spoke about Biden Monday night, suggesting his decline wasn’t a state secret. Everyone knew, he claimed.
“If they came out and said, yeah, Biden knew about it five years ago, I wouldn’t be shocked. If they came out and said Biden found out on Friday, I wouldn’t be shocked. And I understand the excitement over an insidious Democratic coverup about Joe Biden’s mental decline. The thing is, though, it was a terrible coverup, because we all f***ing knew. All of us knew. There was no coverup. Poll after poll showed vast majorities of the public thought Biden was too old and too out of it to run again. … And that’s what’s so hilarious about politicians, the coverup doesn’t work when everyone knows you’re lying and everyone knows you’re lying, the tell is, when you’re so over-the-top about what you don’t want to tell the truth about.”
Yes, many people knew, no doubt. We have eyes and ears and saw all the clips where Biden essentially short-circuited before our eyes.
Not everyone knew.
Legacy Media collectively lied to the American public. So did Democrat after Democrat after Democrat. And millions took them at their word.
Imagine if the GOP did the same thing. Would Stewart respond with a shrug as he did last night?
The shocking cover-up is perfect fodder for a truth-telling satirist like Stewart. Yet he mostly avoided the subject over the past year-plus and hasn’t targeted those who propagated one of the biggest political lies in modern history.
Until now.
This week, Biden’s decline is on everyone’s lips – as is the tragic news of his prostate cancer.
Why now? It’s Clean-Up on Aisle 4 … there’s a mid-term election next year, and this must be dealt with and put back under the rug.
Stewart did bring up Biden’s age in recent months, but never with the ferocity the subject demanded.
This February 2024 clip is typical of his approach.
“Biden’s lost a step, but Trump regularly says things at rallies that would warrant a wellness check,” Stewart said to laughs last week. “The question then becomes, what the f‑‑‑ are we doing here, people?”
He got skewered by the Left for that monologue, and he retreated from focusing on Biden’s age issues.
Don’t kid yourself, Stewart. You were part of the problem all along.
