Fox News commentator Jesse Watters raised serious concerns about the Department of Justice possessing five hours of potentially incriminating video, labeling them as “blackmail tapes” that could severely damage President Biden’s chances of re-election. Watters emphasized that Special Counsel Robert Hur’s intense interrogation of the president revealed alarming cognitive decline, casting doubts on Biden’s ability to serve another term.
Highlighting Biden’s vulnerabilities to foreign influence, particularly from Communist China, and internal discord within his administration, Watters underscored the perilous implications of the tapes being exploited against him. He highlighted Hur’s conclusion that Biden’s cognitive impairments were so significant that indicting him would evoke sympathy rather than justice.
Watters unequivocally stated that the tapes constituted damning evidence tantamount to blackmail, predicting that their release would spell the end of Biden’s re-election aspirations. He also pointed out a shift in media perception, with some outlets acknowledging Biden’s cognitive decline while others remain steadfast in portraying him as fully competent.

Even left-leaning publications like The Atlantic are questioning Biden’s suitability for office, suggesting a need for a new Democratic nominee to confront the challenges ahead. The Hur report, in essence, confirmed what many in Washington already knew: Biden is unfit to lead the nation, both presently and in the foreseeable future.
Given the mounting concerns, Watters speculated on the likelihood of Democrats replacing Biden to avert a potential victory for former President Trump in the upcoming election.
