Sports reporter and possible Democrat presidential candidate Stephen A. Smith wants to know what role CNN anchor Jake Tapper played in covering up for former President Joe Biden when he was allegedly suffering cognitive decline in the White House.

Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson’s book, “Original Sin,” has been the talk of D.C. as both men have accused former Biden staff and the media for covering for the former president’s decline, but Smith wants to know where the CNN anchor’s apology is.

“And it’s Original Sin. And it’s basically highlighting and detailing Biden’s deterioration, for lack of a better word. We saw it. We spoke on it. I was vilified for it. A year before the debate last June 27th, when Biden went on stage against Donald Trump,” the host said.

“I called it out. A year before that, as in two years ago.’ Yo, he’s not going to get to the Democratic National Convention. He does not need to be the Democratic nominee. ‘ And I was excoriated. I was raked through the coals. ‘Who the hell are you? What do you know? You’re novice. Shut the hell up. Stick to sports,’ All of this stuff,” Smith continued.

“I had two eyes. I could see. And if there’s one thing I’m pretty good at is witnessing a deterioration taking place before my very eyes. Because I do it with athletes all the time. So if I can see it in them, I’m damn sure I’m going to be able to see it in an 80-year-old president that Democrats was in the state capitol chanting four more years for. That happened,” the sports reporter said.

“And why do I bring that up? And what’s the relevancy to all of that? I’ll tell you what the relevancy is. I wouldn’t feel so vexed. I wouldn’t feel so insecure. I wouldn’t feel so nervous. If I thought we had a government that was committed to doing what’s right. Instead of supporting somebody for their own purposes or going against them for their own individual purposes. As opposed to being objective and neutral enough to just give us the information,” Smith added.

“’Original Sin’ supposedly is highlighting how the information that was needed to be given wasn’t given. That there was a concerted effort by members of the White House and beyond to hide the debilitating circumstances surrounding then president Joe Biden. Now I can speak on it myself because obviously it’s an egregious thing that transpired,” he said before going in on Tapper and Thompson.

“And I think there’s a whole bunch of people that should be ashamed of themselves. I can’t wait to talk to Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson because I want to know personally. I want to know personally what role Jake Tapper played in not reporting on certain information. I told you I watched the interview with Megan Kelly from start to finish. Ladies and gentlemen, she was sensational. She did a hell of a job,” Smith said.

“My point to you is that we saw it. How did Jake Tapper not see it? And as he continues to speak about all of this, where’s his mea culpa? Because I don’t see it. I haven’t seen it yet. I’m going to be real interested in asking him about that when he comes on this show,” the reporter said.

“The hatred for Trump was so deep that folks didn’t want to report on his competition in any kind of negative way,” he said.
