Perhaps you’ve heard that CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent, Jake Tapper, and Axios national political correspondent and CNN contributor, Alex Thompson, wrote a book called “Original Sin,” about the deception surrounding the “presidency” of Joe Biden.
Since the media — like CNN — was complicit in covering up Biden’s decline, this is like O.J. Simpson looking for Nicole Brown Simpson’s killer.
Now comes word from Alex Thompson that at least one Biden aide admitted that the White House staff did “undemocratic things” because Trump.
A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden admitted that White House staff felt justified doing “undemocratic things” during his term in office because they believed President Donald Trump posed an existential threat to American democracy.
The revelation came during an appearance by Axios reporter Alex Thompson on “Fox News Sunday” with Shannon Bream, where he discussed insider accounts from his reporting on the Biden administration. Thompson described a mindset inside the White House — one in which unelected aides saw themselves as the real decision makers while shielding Biden from scrutiny and managing the presidency behind the scenes.
“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson said.
Trump is such a threat to democracy that we’ll violate democracy to save democracy, you guys!
Nothing says “democracy” like unelected bureaucrats running the country while hiding the flakey husk of the one person “elected” (supposedly) to run the country. This has got to be one of the greatest deceptions perpetrated on the American public in the history of our republic.
What’s amazing is that everyone—including the media, Biden’s handlers, congressmen—denied what was plainly visible to anyone paying attention. Even Jake Tapper:
For four years we had a cognitively diminished life-long politician who had no idea what he was doing and most likely didn’t know, unless reminded, that he held the office of president. And then the cabal that installed him in office planned to win four more years and keep him hidden while offering the occasional “proof of life.”
Thompson also cited a quote from his reporting in which a longtime Biden aide openly admitted the president “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years.”
“He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while,” the aide reportedly told Thompson. “His aides could pick up the slack.”
You know, like a hostage situation.
“When you’re voting for president, you’re voting for the aides around him,” the aide said.
Which we decidedly don’t. This is the Left’s version of democracy: an unconstitutional cabal of unelected staffers hiding their policy decisions and political activism from the public like the deceptive criminals they are.
