In a recent episode of Bill Maher’s show, CNN correspondent Jake Tapper suggested that President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline is to blame for the ongoing border crisis, arguing that it is not a matter of official policy. This assertion raises eyebrows and questions the validity of such a claim.
Much of Tapper’s recent literary endeavors and media appearances seem to revolve around the theme of reshaping historical narratives, and this remark is yet another instance of that trend.
It is abundantly clear that the situation at the border has stemmed from deliberate policy choices aimed at increasing the influx of new Democratic voters, presumably to alter the political landscape in their favor.
Here’s an excerpt from a transcript shared by Eric Abbenante on Twitter/X:
Jake Tapper posits that Biden’s mental state is a significant factor in the border crisis:
Jake Tapper: “You’re complimenting it by calling it a policy. Not to discuss my book again, but one of the things we uncovered:
Senator Bennett from Colorado attended an event in 2024 where Biden appeared to be non-functional. He left that event concluding, ‘This is why our border policy, our immigration policy is such a mess.’
Mayorkas had anticipated an executive order early in Biden’s presidency, but that order never materialized.”

The public reaction has been overwhelmingly skeptical of this narrative.

As the narrative unfolds, it becomes increasingly apparent that the underlying motive behind Tapper’s commentary may be to shield both the media and Democratic leadership from the repercussions of a presidency that many perceive as faltering.
