How long have Democrats known Joe Biden was unfit to hold the office of President of the United States—and why did they keep it hidden from the American people? Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was recently asked precisely that by CNN anchor Kasie Hunt, and his evasive response spoke volumes. Schumer ducked the question like a seasoned politician, pivoting instead to attack President Trump rather than face the uncomfortable truth. But the truth is exactly what Americans deserve.
According to the forthcoming bombshell book “Original Sin,” co-authored by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, Democrats like Schumer knew about Biden’s cognitive decline long before it became painfully obvious to the rest of the country. In fact, Schumer himself reportedly warned Biden privately after his disastrous debate performance on CNN in late June, pleading with him to exit the race gracefully rather than risk defeat at Trump’s hands and tarnish his decades-long career.
Yet, when confronted publicly by Hunt, Schumer refused point-blank to say when he first knew Biden was unfit, instead parroting the empty phrase, “We’re looking forward.” Forward to what, exactly? Certainly not accountability, nor transparency. Schumer’s obvious discomfort serves as a stark reminder that Democrats prioritized political power over honesty and integrity. They knew Biden’s mental capacity was deteriorating, yet they allowed him to campaign, to debate, to make promises to the American people and, ultimately, to embarrass the nation on the world stage.

This isn’t just about Biden’s legacy. It’s about a political elite class willing to deceive voters to maintain control. It’s about the lengths to which establishment Democrats will go to hide inconvenient truths, even when our national security and global standing are on the line. The American people deserve better—they deserve leaders who put country above party and transparency above political expediency.
Looking back, it’s clear that Trump was right all along when he warned repeatedly about Biden’s fitness for office. While Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media mocked and dismissed those warnings as partisan attacks, behind closed doors, influential leaders like Schumer quietly echoed Trump’s concerns. But they lacked the courage to say it publicly—to do the right thing for America.
This failure to speak up isn’t just a political miscalculation; it’s a moral failing. “Original Sin” is not merely a book about Biden’s decline; it’s an indictment of the Democratic Party’s willingness to conceal the truth from voters. It exposes a culture of deception within the liberal establishment that undermines the very foundations of our democracy.
The consequences of this deceit are still felt today. Under Biden’s brief tenure, America suffered historic inflation, a catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and unprecedented chaos on our southern border—problems the Trump administration is now working tirelessly to resolve through America First policies. Imagine how much damage could have been prevented had Democrats simply told the truth and put America first.
It is imperative now, more than ever, for conservatives and patriotic Americans to demand accountability from those who knowingly misled the nation. Schumer’s refusal to answer basic questions about Biden’s fitness is a red flag signaling deeper issues within the Democratic Party. They abandoned honesty, abandoned transparency, and ultimately abandoned the American people.
As President Trump continues to rebuild our economy, secure our borders, revive manufacturing, reform our broken education system, and end endless foreign entanglements, we must remain vigilant against politicians who would put party loyalty above national interest. Democrats have shown their true colors, and Americans must never again allow political expediency to supersede integrity, transparency, and patriotism. The era of deception is over; the time for truth and accountability is now.
