How does Jonathan Capehart host one of the authors of "Original Sin," about the cover-up of Biden's decline, and fail to disclose that among the deadest of Biden dead-enders was . . . Jonathan Capehart?
On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Capehart hosted "Original Sin" co-author Alex Thompson. Thompson described the Democrat party as "sleepwalking" about Biden's inability to serve, until the disastrous debate made that impossible to ignore.
But there was someone who was still somnambulating even after the debate -- Jonathan Capehart.
In a PBS appearance more than two weeks after the debate, Capehart said that people calling on Biden to drop out of the race were "scaredy-cats," and that "I am not worried about him, his abilities, his performance or his mental acuity."
For the sake of disclosure, transparency, and journalistic integrity, it behooved Capehart to mention that today, But Capehart kept quiet.
Later, the show brought on Daniel Koh, a former deputy assistant to Biden, to respond to the Thompson segment. Koh made a potentially very telling disclosure.
During the Thompson segment, co-host Elise Jordan mentioned that "Original Sin" reported that four cabinet secretaries "were deeply concerned and they weren't sure who was making decisions."
Jordan asked Koh if he detected anything regarding Biden's decline as described in the book. After trotting out the well-worn line, "Of course, he moved a little slower than he did before," Koh continued:
"But I was never concerned about his ability to make the right decision, or his team around him making the right decision for the country."
Whoah! Did Koh just admit that decisions were being made by the "team around" Biden, rather than by the president himself?
We need to know!
Note: Here's another glaring example of Capehart's pro-Biden sycophancy. In 2022, we caught Capehart in what we said was perhaps "the biggest bit of journalistic malpractice, and naked pro-Democrat MSM partisanship, in recent memory."
In a segment on his show in which he aired clips from an interview with Biden in which he was making the case that he was fit to run again in 2024, Capehart excluded the moment [see screencap] when Biden seemingly nodded off! Capehart had to jar Biden back awake by calling out, "Mr. President?"
Here's the transcript.
