(DCNF)—Former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly called CNN’s Anderson Cooper a “motherfucker” to her colleagues after being pressed about former President Joe Biden’s mental decline, according to a new book.
CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson released a new book, “Original Sin,” Tuesday detailing the mental decline of Biden during his time in office. According to Tapper and Thompson, Harris’ comment about Cooper came after he pressed her on Biden’s cognitive state immediately after his disastrous debate against President Donald Trump.
“This motherfucker doesn’t treat me like the damn vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues,” the book states. “I thought we were better than that.” Democrats and media pundits supporting Biden for the party’s presidential nominee quickly turned against him after he debated Trump in June 2024.
Despite concerns from Republicans over Biden’s mental decline, Democrats only began to sound alarms over Biden’s age after he was seen struggling to finish his arguments and freezing mid-sentence.
The debate between the two leaders quickly sparked calls for the former president to step aside from the race and hand the nomination to another Democratic colleague. According to the book, Harris’ aides had attempted to encourage her to cancel post-debate interviews.
However, the former vice president appeared on CNN the same night as the debate, only to be grilled by Cooper over concerns from Democrats that had begun. As Cooper relayed to Harris how party lawmakers were already labeling Biden’s performance as a “train wreck” and “disaster,” Harris pushed back, claiming that it had just been a “slow start” to the evening.
“I got the point that you’re making about a one-and-a-half-hour debate tonight — I’m talking about three and a half years of performance and work that has been historic,” Harris responded.
While Harris attempted to highlight her administration’s policies, Cooper continued to call out how her and Biden’s team had requested the debate in the first place.
“This was a debate that your campaign wanted. You pushed for this debate at this moment. You can’t honestly say — I mean can you say that you are not concerned at all having watched the president’s performance tonight?” Cooper asked.
“It was a slow start. That’s obvious to everyone — I’m not going to debate that point,” Harris said.
New insight on how Biden and his team were operating during his four years in office has been revealed through Tapper and Thompson’s book. According to their reporting, Biden’s mental state became so severe that aides discussed putting him in a wheelchair at one point.
In a recent interview, Tapper told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly that he and his co-host Dana Bash had immediate concerns for Biden during his debate, with Tapper writing “holy smokes” to his team as he was moderating the debate.
CNN and Harris’ office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
