FLASHBACK: Howard Stern’s Fawning Biden ‘Interview’

George Clooney saw President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline up close and personal last year.

And he wasn’t alone.

Those who met Biden noticed his failing condition.

• Cabinet members
• White House insiders
• Loyalists

Biden had no business serving as the country’s Commander-in-Chief. That’s one of many takeaways from “Original Sin,” the tell-all tome written by CNN activist Jake Tapper.

Yes, a journalist who participated in the Biden cover up wrote the book on it post-election.

CNN’s Jake Tapper helped promulgate one of the greatest cover-ups in American history.

Just because he decided to write a book four years later saying everything to the contrary doesn’t change that. Nothing will, argues… pic.twitter.com/l6VfzbtnG7

In April of 2024, a desperate Biden team sought a journalist to interview Biden and, hopefully, boost his re-election chances. Said team had been shielding Biden from most one-on-one conversations, eager to keep Americans in the dark about his decline.

His team couldn’t even stage a pretend town hall event to provide clips for the campaign. They needed someone who wouldn’t throw any hard questions his way and stick to the script. Their script.

They chose Howard Stern.

Yes, the former shock jock was now a Democrat shill who could be counted on to promote Biden, warts and all. And he did exactly as told.

No tough questions about the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal, Hunter Biden’s scandalous laptop or the leader’s obvious decline. Stern didn’t bring up how Team Biden helped censor Americans on social media or worked to create a “Ministry of Truth” for the modern era.

The former free-speech warrior gave up that fight some time ago.

Instead, the self-described King of All Media clearly worked with the Biden team to put the president’s best foot forward. That’s easier said than done given Biden’s mental fog and atrocious record.

Now, that embarrassing spectacle looks even worse given the Tapper tome and others coming our way soon.

What did Stern say during the hour-long interview?

“You’re the kind of leader I love because we’re lucky to have you in the Oval Office.”

“I know you’d be a good father to the country, and I want to thank you for providing a calming, influential and organized administration.”

The Hollywood Reporter shared how the booking happened.

Executive producer Gary Dell’Abate told Stern, “Believe me, there were a lot of people who were involved in helping this booking from people inferred on all that stuff — but you know who was super helpful on this? Really, really helpful. Hillary Clinton.”

When Stern replied that he didn’t know that, Dell’Abate added, “Her people really let Biden’s people know this was a good place to be.”

The old Howard Stern might have grilled Biden on several issues, like how he weaponized the “very fine people” hoax or sparked years of crushing inflation.

Stern 1.0, a man of the people, is long gone. The newer version is a woke Useful Idiot, offering a safe space for Democrats. And they knew it at the time.

That’s even more embarrassing.

Tapper is attempting a Mea Culpa Media Tour to promote “Original Sin.” He wants to have it both ways – profiting off of the biggest presidential cover-up in modern history while ignoring his role in it.

We’re still waiting for Stern’s apology for his Pravda-like Biden interview.
