Former CNN Pundit Apologizes for Ignoring Joe Biden’s Obvious Mental Decline (VIDEO)

Former CNN talking head Chris Cillizza has apologized for ignoring Joe Biden’s declining mental health, a thing that was completely obvious to anyone who was paying attention.

Who knew journalists were capable of shame?

It’s ironic to hear this, given the way the media treated anyone who raised the issue of Biden’s age and condition for years, right up until the moment they couldn’t cover it up anymore.

FOX News reports:

Ex-CNN pundit apologizes for ignoring Biden’s mental decline: ‘I should’ve pushed harder’

A former CNN pundit has offered a mea culpa for shrugging off concerns about President Biden’s mental decline.

Chris Cilizza, who served as CNN’s editor-at-large before leaving the network in 2022, spoke candidly about his lack of journalistic curiosity about Biden’s condition to serve following a pair of damning reports this week from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal that shed light on the president’s diminished state.

“As a reporter, I have a confession to make,” Cillizza began his “apology” on his YouTube channel Thursday. “I should have pushed harder earlier for more information about Joe Biden’s mental and physical well-being and any signs of decline.”

Cillizza acknowledged how Republicans would “regularly ping me” during his time at CNN, asking him why he hadn’t addressed Biden’s decline and how he would “brush them off” since he had not seen “evidence” of the president’s decline.

And not only did he admit to taking the word of the White House, he conceded he felt guilty of “age shaming” Biden.

An apology: As a journalist, I should have pushed harder on the very real questions about Joe Biden’s physical and mental health as president.

Not everyone is buying it.

Oh I see we’ve entered the “Now It Can Be Said” phase of things now that you’ve been outed as a DNC propagandist

What good is this apology? You failed to deliver news when it was actually useful. Which is the whole point of journalism. Go away.

Piss off. You’ll cover for Democrats the next chance you get. Your words mean nothing.

It does seem like too little, too late.
