“Obviously, Biden was in bad shape.”

During a roundtable discussion on CNN on Monday, former Obama adviser and CNN contributor Van Jones  blasted New York Senator Chuck Schumer for claiming Democrats didn’t mislead Americans over Joe Biden’s obvious cognitive decline.

Jones was reacting to comments Schumer made over the weekend on Meet The Press.

“That’s foolish. Look, obviously, Biden was in bad shape, and I was surprised,” Jones said. “But there were people who are close who must have known better. Look, obviously, you know, a lot was known and wasn’t said and wasn’t shared. Now it’s leaking out all the time anyway. So, look, I think to have any credibility and integrity, people have to quit playing around. Like, Schumer’s nose is going to start growing if he keeps saying stuff like that.”

“We saw both Joe Biden, and we saw Democrats all over the place defending him and telling us with a straight face that he was super strong, just the same as when he got in,” political commentator S.E. Cupp said. “That’s delusional.”

“I think they were going to lose anyway. But admit it, and move on. You keep going on TV and talking like this, to Van’s point, you’re going to lose all credibility for the next time,” she added.

CNN’s in-house Republican Scott Jennings also weighed in, saying the Democrats can’t admit they lied about Biden’s health because it would be an admission to the greatest cover-up in U.S. history.

“Democrat politicians lied. Democrat pundits lied. A lot of people who cover the White House looked the other way or believed absolute crap they were being fed by the White House press secretary,” Jennings said. “To admit it now would be to say, ‘you know what, America, boy, we did try to pull the wool over your eyes and you weren’t buying it.’ I guess I understand why keeping up the charade now, to some degree because to admit it now would to be admit this massive, huge cover up.”
