A longtime aide to former President Joe Biden shockingly admitted that insiders felt justified acting 'undemocratically' to keep the president in power because Donald Trump represented an 'existential threat' to democracy, a new book alleges.
The jaw-dropping revelation came as Axios reporter Alex Thompson promoted his new book, Original Sin, co-authored with CNN's Jake Tapper, about the health 'cover-up' surrounding Biden.
During an appearance on Fox News, Thompson discussed the chilling dynamic inside Biden's White House from insiders he spoke to.
Thompson wrote that an unelected official within the administration admitted that their hatred of Trump validated doing 'undemocratic things.'
Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream questioned Thompson about the anecdote, asking: 'Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term?'
Reading aloud from the book, Bream quoted an unnamed aide as saying: '[Biden] just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years.
'He'd only have to show proof of life every once in a while… His aides could pick up the slack.'
Thompson revealed that the source 'went on to say that, when you're voting for a president, you're voting for the aides around him.'
