Brit Hume Describes How ‘Stain’ Of Biden Cover-Up Will Affect ‘Whole Generation Of Democratic Politicians’

Brit Hume said Monday on Fox News that the fallout from former President Joe Biden’s coverup will haunt an entire generation of Democratic Party leaders.

Biden’s office said Sunday that he was diagnosed with aggressive, bone-spreading prostate cancer, amid renewed scrutiny over a reported cover-up by aides and media figures to hide his physical and mental decline—claims detailed in the upcoming book “Original Sin” by CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson. During an appearance on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” Hume pointed to a parade of high-ranking Democrats and Biden officials now claiming ignorance of the president’s condition.

“I think they’re very real, and I think, you know, a lot of Democrats have a lot to answer for, because they were trying to cover up something that, as I said before, was trying to hide something that was unhideable,” Hume said. “So, you know, there’s a whole generation of Democratic politicians who have to answer for this, who are all going around saying, now, ‘Gee, I never knew.’”

Hume criticized senior Democrats and members of the Biden administration—including former Biden National Security adviser Jake Sullivan.

“Jake, his national security advisor, was saying that he doesn’t know anything about this. He never noticed it somehow. Baloney. They all knew. They had to know. It was visible to the public, and they tried to cover it up. They failed,” Hume added. (RELATED: Trump Suggests Biden Diagnosis Could Be Part Of Bigger Conspiracy)

Sullivan said Thursday he had little awareness of the president’s decline in health.

Hume took aim at the media, blasting prominent journalists for aiding in what he characterized as a coordinated effort to shield Biden from scrutiny.

“How they get the stain out, both of the Democrats who covered this, who refused to acknowledge this, and, just as bad, if not worse, the members of the media who refused. I don’t know how they’ll ever get rid of it,” Hume said.

Concerns about Biden’s mental fitness surfaced well before he took office in January 2021, fueled by his verbal gaffes and frequent stumbles. Although many Democrats initially dismissed the warnings, some began to break ranks after his disastrous June 2024 debate against then-former President Donald Trump.

Former Obama administration official Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel said Monday on MSNBC that Biden likely had the cancer as early as 2021. Several other doctors and cancer experts also told the Daily Caller they believe Biden developed the illness well before his recent diagnosis.
