Sean Hannity went nuclear on former Biden advisor and made the Fox News set go silent

The Biden era cover-ups are coming to light. The scandals are worse than you could have imagined.

That’s why Sean Hannity just went nuclear on a former Biden advisor on his Fox News show, live on TV.

Sean Hannity Visibly Fed Up With Biden Health Scandal Cover-Up

The Biden administration’s carefully curated image of a robust, capable leader unraveled spectacularly on national television, yet loyalists like former special assistant Michael LaRosa still cling to a narrative that defies reality. On Fox News’ Hannity Monday, host Sean Hannity didn’t mince words, calling LaRosa “full of crap” for denying any signs of Joe Biden’s cognitive decline during his White House tenure. The exchange laid bare a persistent effort by Biden’s allies to dismiss mounting evidence of his faltering health, a truth that became impossible to ignore after a disastrous 2024 debate performance.

For years, Republicans raised alarms about Biden’s mental and physical capacity, only to be met with deflections from Democrats and their media allies. Videos of Biden stumbling, misspeaking, or appearing disoriented circulated widely, yet the White House dismissed them as “cheap fakes” meant to tarnish the president’s image. Former press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre leaned heavily on this excuse, pointing fingers at Republicans while ignoring the growing unease among even Biden’s own staff. The administration’s insistence on projecting strength, despite clear signs of frailty, now appears as a calculated effort to mislead the public.

Hannity’s confrontation with LaRosa exposed the fragility of this defense. “Michael, you’re going to come on this program, and you’re going to look America in the eye, and you’re going to tell us that you did not see any cognitive decline in Joe Biden? Because we saw it. We chronicled it starting in 2019,” Hannity pressed. LaRosa’s attempt to stand firm crumbled under scrutiny, as he insisted, “Well, I am because I’ve been very consistent about that, Sean, with all of your colleagues on all of the Fox News programming since I left the White House at the end of 2022.” His words rang hollow against a backdrop of undeniable footage.

The release of Original Sin by CNN’s Jake Tapper and Axios’ Alex Thompson in May 2025 offered a d*mning glimpse into the Biden White House’s inner workings. The book revealed aides so concerned about Biden’s condition that they considered using a wheelchair post-2020 election. These revelations, drawn from interviews with multiple sources, confirmed what many had long suspected: Biden’s team was not just aware of his decline but actively grappling with how to manage it behind closed doors. The public, however, was fed a steady diet of assurances that all was well.

Hannity didn’t let LaRosa off easily. “Michael, let me interrupt you,” he interjected. “I don’t believe you. I think you’re full of crap. Let me be honest. Let me be straight here. We play — we have tape after tape after tape. I could spend the next hour.” He pointed to countless instances of Biden struggling to speak, shaking hands with thin air, or appearing lost on stage. “We spent an hour on Friday playing him struggling, shaking air, not knowing where to go, talking to dead people. He was a shell of his former self,” Hannity added, his frustration palpable.

The White House’s strategy of denial relied on blaming critics rather than addressing the problem. Jean-Pierre’s “cheap fakes” narrative was a convenient shield, deflecting attention from Biden’s visible struggles. Yet, as Hannity noted, the evidence was overwhelming: “He could barely utter a sentence.” The administration’s allies in the media played along, downplaying incidents or framing them as isolated gaffes. This collective refusal to acknowledge reality only deepened public skepticism, as voters could see for themselves what was happening.

LaRosa’s defense took another hit when he claimed Biden’s 2020 victory—by seven million votes—proved the public saw no issue. “OK, so, Sean, you have the highest rated programming on Fox News, on the highest rated cable network. In 2019 and 2020, the American people saw the same thing, had the same access that you did,” he argued. “He still won by seven million votes and has the most votes ever received by any president in American history. I’m not here to defend the cover-up.” The argument sidestepped the core issue: winning an election doesn’t erase subsequent decline.

The 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump was the breaking point. Biden’s performance was catastrophic—halting, incoherent, and at one point, frozen mid-sentence. Democrats and media pundits, who had long deflected concerns, could no longer ignore the obvious.

“I don’t believe any of you. I think you’re so politically biased. You can’t see through. You hate Trump so much you can’t see through the lens of politics,” Hannity told LaRosa, who admitted the debate was the first time Biden’s decline became clear to him and “many people.” The claim strained credulity, given the years of prior evidence.

The fallout was swift. Democrat lawmakers publicly urged Biden to step aside, and party donors withheld millions until he exited the race. By July 21, 2024, Biden announced his withdrawal, endorsing Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee. The move was less a strategic pivot than a belated admission of what had been evident to many: Biden was unfit for another term. His team’s efforts to prop him up had collapsed under the weight of reality.

The administration’s allies continue to face tough questions. LaRosa’s appearance on Hannity was a microcosm of the struggle to maintain a facade that no longer holds. His insistence that he saw no decline until 2024 suggests either willful ignorance or a loyalty that blinded him to the truth. Hannity’s blunt assessment—“I don’t believe you”—echoes the sentiment of a public that feels misled by those who prioritized political optics over honesty.

The media’s role in this saga cannot be overlooked. Outlets that once dismissed concerns about Biden’s health as partisan attacks have now shifted to retrospective analysis, as if the signs weren’t visible all along. Books like Original Sin confirm what critics had long pointed out, yet the delay in acknowledging these issues raises questions about journalistic integrity. The public was left to parse through a mix of denial and spin, with trust in both the administration and its media allies taking a hit.

Biden’s withdrawal marked the end of a charade that should never have lasted as long as it did. The insistence on presenting him as a vigorous leader, despite clear evidence to the contrary, eroded confidence in those tasked with transparency.
