The cover-up of Joe Biden’s mental decline has sparked outrage among conservatives who say the truth was hidden from voters for years. Kayleigh McEnany, a former Trump White House press secretary, called for a “fervent” investigation into how Biden’s deterioration was concealed by his inner circle and the media.
Biden’s alarming performance during the 2024 CNN debate exposed his struggles to the public. Critics argued the Democratic Party knew about his decline long before but actively covered it up to protect their political power. McEnany emphasized that Biden’s team lied to Americans, claiming he was sharp behind closed doors while shielding him from unscripted events.
Reports now reveal Biden’s aides limited his public appearances and controlled his schedule to avoid embarrassing moments. They allegedly scripted his speeches, restricted press access, and dismissed concerns about his fitness as “right-wing propaganda.” McEnany compared this to a “cover-up of epic proportions,” saying voters deserved transparency about their president’s health.
For years, conservatives sounded the alarm about Biden’s cognitive state, but legacy media outlets ignored or mocked these concerns. Only after Biden’s debate meltdown did mainstream journalists finally acknowledge the issue. Books and reports by liberal journalists later confirmed what conservatives had documented: Biden’s team knew he was unfit but pushed him to run anyway.
McEnany criticized the media for failing to ask tough questions earlier, calling it a betrayal of their duty. She highlighted how Biden’s family and advisors prioritized power over the country’s well-being, even as his condition worsened. The lack of a proper medical evaluation raised suspicions about what they were hiding.
The fallout from the cover-up damaged the Democratic Party’s credibility. Vice President Kamala Harris, who took over Biden’s campaign, faced backlash for her role in the deception. Internal tensions between Biden and Harris further fractured the party, leading to their defeat in the 2024 election.
Conservatives argue this scandal shows a pattern of dishonesty in Washington. McEnany stressed that accountability is essential to restore trust in leadership. She urged Congress to investigate who orchestrated the cover-up and ensure such manipulation never happens again.
The Biden family’s influence-peddling scandals, including Hunter Biden’s foreign dealings, added fuel to the fire. Critics say the same secrecy that hid Biden’s decline also protected his family’s questionable business ties. McEnany’s call for justice reflects a broader demand for transparency in government—a principle conservatives vow to fight for.
