The Biden cover-up demands deep soul-searching
Those who colluded in the cover-up of Joe Biden's cognitive decline are eager to put it behind them. The election is over, so why dwell on the past? Why not focus on more immediate problems, such as President Donald Trump's continuing offenses against the civic order? You can't blame them for hoping, I suppose. But we can't simply ignore such a shocking institutional failure. Nor can we put off the reckoning in sympathetic deference to Sunday's announcement that the former president has aggressive metastatic prostate cancer.
