Brian Flood and David Rutz at FoxNews.com report that former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza is blowing the whistle on Team Biden's coverup and pressure campaign about Biden's cognitive decline.
"I think there is now ample evidence that there was a cover-up on Joe Biden’s actual physical and mental condition by his aides in the White House. There’s been a ton of reporting on it… too much, I think, to dismiss it," Cillizza told Fox News Digital in an email.
While Cillizza believes Biden aides were hiding the truth from the American people, the former CNN political analyst somehow claims the press wasn't part of the cover-up, even as he notes that they easily surrendered under pressure:
"Instead, I think the Biden team made it really hard to ask questions about his health — they shamed you, said you didn’t like him, etc.," Cillizza said, noting that many reporters, including himself, "let that be that."
Cillizza doesn’t believe President Donald Trump’s team would receive the same treatment from the mainstream press. He feels that some reporters took the Biden team’s word for it because they were either more "inclined to believe a Democratic president," or were likely to believe "someone who hadn’t said 30,000 false or misleading things while in office."
That sounds like a reference to Washington Post "Fact Checker" Glenn Kessler, who created a database of tens of thousands of "false or misleading" claims by Trump -- and penned a book about his "Assault on Truth" -- and then promptly shut down any presidential database when Biden came in.
Cillizza put out a video in December admitting Team Biden "did a good job of hiding it for a long time, but journalists, and I put myself here, you've got to, we should have been pushier, we should have, I should have, I don't want to speak for everyone. I should have not let the shame campaign to make you feel bad for asking the question get to me."
