Jake Tapper: Biden Cognitive Decline Cover-Up ‘May Be Worse’ Than Watergate

Morgan: “This brings me to your conclusion, which said, ‘Joe Biden is not Richard Nixon. The hiding and the coverup of his deterioration is not Watergate.’ I’m not entirely sure I agree, Jake, with that conclusion. You know, I’m not entirely sure that — “
TAPPER: “Well, we said — the next line is — the next line is, ‘It is an entirely separate scandal.’ It is a scandal.”
Morgan: “Yes.”
TAPPER: “It is — it is, without question. And maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways.”
Morgan: “Right.”
TAPPER: “Because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn’t drinking. And, you know, so the idea that — yeah, wee don’t mean to exonerate. The only reason that we have the Watergate thing is there 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. Maybe even worse.”
Morgan: “Yeah, I think, arguably, it is worse, actually.”
