She also insisted that she and members of his staff would not have allowed him to remain in his position if he had shown any signs of \u201ccognitive impairment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of that is very hard to believe, if not downright false,\u201d Tapper said in response, calling Biden \u201cthe Queen of Omission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe most charitable interpretation of Jill Biden\u2019s book is that she\u2019s still having a difficult time, understandably, talking about what we\u2019re all seeing happen to [her husband] and what we\u2019ve all been seeing happen to him for years,\u201d he said. \u201cA less forgiving version is that she\u2019s been enabling it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, she\u2019s seeking to try to make an excuse for it, while also hinting here and there that were things going on that she maybe doesn\u2019t even want to acknowledge to herself,\u201d the CNN anchor added.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025, the Biden family publicly disclosed that the former president had been diagnosed with stage four cancer.
