Journalist Mark Halperin appeared on the Jesse Watters show this week and talked about a few Joe Biden related issues. He suggested that because of the Hunter Biden pardon, Joe is going to have trouble raising money for his presidential library.
That is accurate.
The Independent reported, via Yahoo News:
Furious Dems threaten to withhold donations to Biden’s presidential library after Hunter’s pardonSome senior Democrats are reportedly so disappointed with President Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden, that they are threatening to withhold funding for Biden’s presidential library.The controversial decision, in tandem with Biden’s move to drop out of the 2024 presidential election less than four months before Election Day, has left a sour taste in donor’s mouths, according to a recent Axios report.As a result, Biden could be facing a financial obstacle in trying to build his presidential library – a historical tradition for presidents once they leave office.As a result, Biden could be facing a financial obstacle in trying to build his presidential library – a historical tradition for presidents once they leave office.
The most interesting part of Halperin’s commentary however, was about the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline, which he calls a major scandal.

WATTERS: Well, why didn’t Chuck Todd say anything when he had a show, Mark? All of a sudden he doesn’t have a show, and Joe lost, and now he’s screaming from the rooftop about this and that. Why do they do that, these people?HALPERIN: You know, I saw Joe Biden’s mental acuity decline in 2017 and I talked about it on a regular basis. I can’t explain it. It’s some combination of Trump derangement syndrome and not wanting to be ostracized for doing anything that might help Donald Trump win.And of course, the irony is, the reason Joe Biden is left in the position he’s in, the reason Donald Trump was re-elected, there are plenty of reasons, but a big reason is the silence in the media. I’ve called this before. I think it’s one of the biggest scandals of any sort in American history, and certainly one of the biggest media scandals, because people say, oh, they didn’t see behind-the-scenes.All you needed was a C-SPAN subscription to know that there was a level of mental decline and they stood silent.
Watch the segment below:
Mark is right about this. Does everyone remember when the media tried to claim that videos showing Biden’s obvious decline were cheap fakes?
