(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.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
