WATCH: CNN Hosts Get Ripped To Shreds By Journalist Outside RNC, Cower Away

Outside of the RNC on Tuesday night, Journalist Savanah Hernandez took CNN hosts Dana Bash and Jake Tapper to town over their network’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s physical and mental health. Hernandez questioned Bash and Tapper directly about their delayed reporting on Biden’s cognitive decline—a topic that has been the subject of much debate and concern amongst the people.

“You guys refused to report on the incompetence of Joe Biden and I was just wondering if you guys were told not to report on that or if you guys really were that ignorant,” Hernandez said to CNN’s Chris Wallace and Jake Tapper. “The entire American public for some reason was able to see that Joe Biden was grossly incompetent and that he’s been in cognitive decline for a long time. However, you guys just started reporting this.”

“Dana, you’re a respected reporter. Why is it that you guys just started to report on the decline of Joe Biden? Don’t you feel like you have a responsibility to the public not to lie to them about the cognitive decline of Joe Biden?” Hernandez continued.

“Dana, you’re a very respected journalist. Jake, not so much respected, but people listen to you still. Would any of you guys like to respond to Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and why you guys lied to the American people about it for so long?”

Neither Bash nor Tapper provided responses during the encounter, which was somewhat marred by the presence of a security detail that kept Hernandez at a distance. The confrontation comes on the heels of a notably poor debate performance by Biden, described by many, including CNN’s own analysts, as disastrous for his reelection prospects. Following the debate, there was widespread criticism of Biden’s seemingly unfocused answers and lackluster demeanor.

As the U.S. presidential election heats up, Biden’s age remains a focal point. At 81, he is the oldest sitting president in U.S. history, and this continues to be a key topic of discussion as his term continues. Recently, at a press conference during the NATO summit, Biden misspoke several times, mistakenly referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “President Putin” and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump.” The verbal slips have fueled discussions and speculation among many, including medical professionals, about potential signs of cognitive decline associated with neuro-degeneration in the president.

WATCH:

Despite all the drama and concerns, the Democratic National Committee is pressing forward with its plan to nominate Biden virtually before next month’s Democratic convention in Chicago, despite increasing opposition from some party officials. These dissenters have urged the DNC to abandon this approach due to the intense ongoing discussions about whether Biden should run for a second term.

Biden has reassured voters that his doctors have not indicated any serious medical issues. In an interview with ABC News, Biden joked that he would only consider dropping out if he received a divine directive from “the Lord Almighty.”
