Jake Tapper Says Alleged Biden Cover-Up Is ‘Maybe Even Worse’ Than Watergate | EUROtoday

Tapper, co-author of the bestselling “Original Sin” about efforts by Biden’s allies to hide his getting old earlier than and throughout the 2024 marketing campaign, made the startling declare on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.”

Morgan sparked the alternate by referring to a ebook excerpt saying that “Joe Biden is not Richard Nixon. The hiding and the cover-up of his deterioration is not Watergate.”

“Um, I’m not entirely sure I agree, Jake, with that conclusion,” Morgan mentioned.

“The next line is, ‘It is an entirely separate scandal,’” Tapper replied. “It is a scandal. It is without question and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways, because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn’t drinking.”

Nixon was implicated within the cover-up surrounding the 1972 housebreaking of Democratic National Committee headquarters on the Watergate workplace complicated. He confronted near-certain impeachment when he resigned from the presidency in 1974 ― the one commander in chief to take action in historical past.

“We don’t mean to exonerate,” Tapper clarified. “The only reason that we have the Watergate thing there is because we quote Archibald Cox, who was a Watergate investigator, talking about how powerful the presidency is and how presidents get surrounded by people who have a vested interest in keeping that president propped up. So that’s the only reason we invoke Watergate is just to make clear, like: It’s not Watergate. This is an entirely separate scandal. Maybe even worse.”
