In a bombshell appearance on CNN, senior political correspondent Scott Jennings slammed the Democrats for hiding former President Joe Biden’s apparent mental decline. During the clip, Jennings expressed his disgust for the government officials who lied to the public about Joe Biden’s mental state while he was in office.
For context, Biden’s mental state was a point of contention throughout his presidency; however, after a disastrous performance at the June 2024 debate, he was forced to step back from the race. Conservatives had long claimed that Biden was mentally impaired, but the Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media dismissed these concerns as unfounded.
After the Democrats’ dramatic failure in the 2024 election, several books were released offering insight into the ill-fated campaign. Some of these books confirmed what conservatives already knew: that Biden’s poor condition was a well-known fact, and his team, the Democratic Party, and parts of the media conspired to keep the story under wraps.
Starting off the dramatic April 5, 2025, segment, Scott Jennings speculated if a Kamala Harris presidency would have been a disaster for Democrats. He said, “These [Biden] books, seeing that video of Kamala Harris and then these videos of Tim Walz the last few days—boy, did we dodge a bullet. Lord have mercy. It can all be told now: I sat here all during the campaign and was assured that Joe Biden was fine.”
Building on that point, he described several prominent narratives of the 2024 campaign. Jennings added, “Kamala Harris had the most organic, grassroots-driven campaign. The Democrats were unified. We had a campaign of joy. Everything was hunky dory, That’s what I was told night after night: Now the [Biden] books are coming out.”
Concluding his remarks, the senior political correspondent speculated about the scale of the corruption. He said, “Our own government, from the White House podium, lied to us about his condition, covered it up. We lived through the biggest scandal in modern American politics.”

Watch the shocking clip here:
Conservatives were incensed by the biased media coverage when a clip of the incident was posted to social media. A popular post read, “The collective amnesia amongst certain complicit media members around their lack of reporting of Biden’s decline makes me wonder if Biden’s dementia was contagious.”
Responding to this post, users expressed their outrage with the lying media. One of the comments read, “That very network (CNN) along with numerous others (MSNBC, NBC News, NPR, and even the the WaPo and the NYTimes) were all complicit in covering up Biden’s Decline too. Telling us we were believing “right wing disinformation” and “deepfakes” and all declaring simultaneously, on cue, that Biden was “Sharp as a Tack.'”
Building on that point, other commentators were disgusted by the apparent double standard. One of the replies read, “Watching them do that for months and then acting surprised and shocked at Biden’s debate was what finally made me realize there is no reforming the legacy media. It is dug in too deep. It must die and something new must rise from its ashes.”
