The alleged White House cover-up of President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline is rapidly snowballing into what could be one of the most damning political scandals in recent history. What’s more shocking is the source of the revelations—media outlets that once acted as Biden’s loyal shield. The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and New York Times—those bastions of liberal commentary—have now turned their pens against him, detailing how his mental acuity has been quietly managed and concealed since day one. For Democrats, the implications are as dire as they are unavoidable.
Adding a juicy twist to the unfolding drama is Democratic donor and operative Lindy Li, who has not held back in her critique of her own party. Li has been making headlines for weeks, from accusing Kamala Harris of squandering a billion dollars to dishing out insider scoops on Biden’s mental state and the icy skepticism both Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama reportedly have toward Harris. Now, Li has delivered another bombshell, openly admitting what many have whispered for years: Biden’s cognitive fitness is nowhere near the standard required of a U.S. president, and his inner circle knew it all along.
Li’s recent remarks didn’t pull any punches. She painted a picture of a presidency propped up by aides who have been running interference from the very beginning, essentially covering for a leader unable to fully carry out his duties. She referenced a scathing Wall Street Journal exposé, which detailed how Biden’s closest advisors have shielded him from scrutiny, managing his public appearances and responsibilities with the finesse of a PR team rather than a governance operation. Critics argue this is less about leadership and more about optics—a carefully constructed facade that’s beginning to crumble.
The reckoning isn’t limited to Li. Former Clinton operative Al Mottur has also come forward, expressing deep regret over his role in perpetuating the Biden administration’s narrative. Mottur called out his former colleagues, many of whom are now leaking insider details after having reassured the public that everything was under control. The duplicity, combined with the media’s newfound interest in covering the story, has left even seasoned Democrats questioning their roles in this charade. It’s not just the cracks in Biden’s image showing—it’s the collapse of an entire strategy.
This sudden shift in the media’s tone and the deluge of insider leaks suggest that the Democratic Party is bracing for an internal implosion. For years, any criticism of Biden’s mental fitness was dismissed as partisan noise, but now the issue is impossible to ignore. As the scandal grows, it threatens to engulf not only Biden but the broader Democratic leadership, already struggling with fractured unity and declining public trust. The real question is whether the party can recover—or if this will leave a lasting stain on its credibility for years to come.
