Axios National Political Correspondent & co-author of Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again with Jake Tapper Alex Thompson joins Bad Faith to discuss the backlash around his book detailing the Biden administration's coverup of the President's declining health and cognitive ability. Alex takes hard questions about Tapper's complicity in the coverup, why he extended anonymity to various sources, and why he chose not to focus on the media's role in facilitating the White House's deceit.
