Senate Minority Leader and Democrat New York Sen. Charles Schumer refused to answer a question from CNN anchor Kasie Hunt on when he was aware of the cognitive decline of President Joe Biden.

The cognitive and physical decline of former President Biden was detailed in a new book by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and his co-author Alex Thompson.

The book detailed the great lengths the White House and Democrats went to in an effort to hide the truth from American voters.

“Sir, I really do want to ask you about something that has been breaking out of CNN. Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have written a book called Original Sin, and they call it a cover-up of Biden’s health and his cognition and his fitness, quite frankly, to be president of the United States. You sat next to Biden in the Oval Office, February 27, 2024, just a handful of months before the president took that debate stage. And it was later reported that you and other Democratic leaders were talking before the debate about having a plan. You and Hakeem Jeffries, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, I understand you later denied that that ever happened,” the anchor said.

“But I am curious, I’m interested to know whether the man that you saw sitting there on that couch on that day, you were in there, you saw him up close and personal. Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?” she said, but Schumer pivoted to an attack on President Donald Trump and avoided answering the question that was asked.

“Kasie, we’re looking forward. We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us. We have the whole federal government at risk,” he said.

“You’re facing all of this because you lost a presidential election. And is that not Joe Biden’s responsibility for deciding to run again?” the anchor hit back.

“We’re looking forward,” he said.

“That’s it?” a stunned Hunt said.

“That’s it,” the senator said, ending the interview segment.
