New York mag reporter defends timing of Biden ‘conspiracy of silence’ bombshell amid backlash

The timing of a staggering July 4 New York magazine feature, "The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden" has drawn harsh criticism.

Nuzzi penned the shocking piece that details how Biden’s "mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters." She reported that Biden supporters have been expressing doubt about his ability to run for re-election since at least January and said she witnessed it herself in April when Biden looked like "something not of this earth" during an appearance when he appeared so frail that last week’s disastrous debate actually exceeded her expectations.  Brian Flood is a media editor/reporter for FOX News Digital.

Nuzzi also wrote that high-powered Democrats were secretly in agreement with Trump supporters who believed Biden "may not really be the acting president after all," but were afraid to blow the whistle on Biden's issues until they were on full display during the debate meltdown.
