Seemingly everyone in journalistic America read and wrote about the new book Original Sin, by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’s Alex Thompson, over the weekend — except me. After waiting impatiently for a copy to arrive in the mail — it is apparently being delivered by snails riding sloths — I instead got a copy from my local brick-and-mortar bookseller earlier this morning.
You probably do not need to have the book introduced to you at this point, but if so: Thompson and Tapper purport to pull back the curtain on a four-year-long conspiracy by Joe Biden’s administration, specifically his “Politburo” of family members and personal aides, to deceive the American public about the state of his failing health. It is quite the page-turner of a tale. The details mount relentlessly over time, and the authors center the story around the web of deceit woven by Joe and Jill Biden’s closest aides. (National Review’s Audrey Fahlberg succeeded in getting her “advance copy” in actual advance and wrote an excellent summary herself.)
