CNN media hack Jake Tapper is attempting to rewrite history by distancing himself from the left’s cover-up of Biden’s mental and physical decline.
On Tuesday, he spent a considerable time promoting his book, which he promises readers will blow the lid off the multi-year conspiracy to hide Biden’s decline.
Scott Jennings recently slammed liberal journalists trying to profit by exposing the lies they helped to propagate, for which Tapper takes the medal for being one of the most blatant.
“And now all the books are coming out, and it’s amazing because a lot of the people who were telling those lies are now going to get paid to write those books. It’s crazy.”
Despite his attempts to portray himself as an innocent bystander, Americans have yet to forget iconic moments when he tried to convince us that Biden was fit for office. Here are ten times that Tapper helped downplay Biden’s decline.
Tapper’s ballistic interview with Lara Trump.
One of the most memorable moments when Tapper attempted to cover Biden’s decline was when he hosted Lara Trump close to the 2020 presidential election. During the interview, he grilled the First Daughter over her previous description of Biden struggling to get the words out.
“I feel kind of sad for Joe Biden. I’m supposed to want him to fail at every turn, but every time he’s on stage and they turn to him I’m like, ‘Joe, can you get it out? Let’s get the words out, Joe.’” Lara had said.
“How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel when they see you make a comment like that?” Tapper asked her.
However, Tapper went ballistic when Lara said she had no idea that Biden had a stutter and insisted that his incoherence was the result of mental decline.
“First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see on stage with Joe Biden, Jake, is very clearly a cognitive decline,” Lara said.
“I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline,” Tapper lashed out. “I would think that somebody in the Trump family would be more sensitive to people who do not have medical licenses diagnosing politicians from afar.”
More stutter lies.
On March 21, 2024, during CNN’s The Lead, Tapper continued to push the false narrative and attack Donald Trump for mocking Biden’s cognitive decline.
“President Biden embraces his stutter, talking about it, while Trump mocks it, exaggerates it, belittles it.”
Trump had mocked Biden, saying, “Did you see him? He was stuttering through the whole thing.”
Biden is sharp mentally … physically, and Trump is only 3 years younger.
During CNN’s “Inside Look Into Joe Biden’s First Two Years As President,” Tapper insisted that the Democrat was sharp “mentally” before correcting himself and saying “physically.”
He also attacked Trump, saying he was just a few years younger than Biden.
“He’s sharp mentally… physically? I think the question is physically, right, more so? And the guy who is his chief opponent is only three or four years younger than him,” Tapper said.
Former Dem Rep. Dean Phillips’ interview.
Tapper also questioned former Minnesota Democratic U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips over remarks he made about Biden suggesting that the then-president was unfit for office.
“Do you worry that you damaged him at all?” Tapper asked.
Tapper also accused Rep. Phillips of saying nasty things about other Democrats, thus suggesting that the former lawmaker’s alleged remarks about Biden’s decline were inaccurate and malicious.
Tapper: Biden’s decline false.
During another CNN segment, Tapper said the Wall Street Journal’s remarks “about President Biden’s mental fitness and acuity” were false.
“…false claims to the Wall Street Journal, about President Biden’s mental fitness and acuity…,” Tapper said.
Adam Schiff interview.
When hosting Russian Collusion propagandist Adam Schiff, Tapper said Biden was 81, but his memory was “not horrible.”
“He’s 81, and his memory, you know, it doesn’t seem great; it’s not horrible, but I don’t understand the outrage,” he said.
Blame Russia!
Typical of the left, Tapper attempted to blame Russia for spreading fake news about Biden’s cognitive decline.
“The Russians are trying to do to make us and the public not trust our election integrity. Joe Biden has dimension, all this stuff.”
More WSJ outrage.
Tapper claimed that the WSJ story was filled with problems and characterized concerns about Biden’s mental acuity as a talking point by conservative media.
“The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp, which is run by the Murdochs,” Tapper said, adding that those concerns were “mostly based on observations of Republicans.”
Not incapable of doing the job.
In March 2024, Tapper also attacked Republicans for questioning Biden’s mental condition and calling him weak and senile.
“He certainly seemed like an 81-year-old, but he didn’t seem incapable of doing the job,” Tapper said after Biden’s State of the Union address.
Meanwhile, Tapper’s team continues to deny his role in the cover-up, saying he always questioned Biden’s health.
“From the campaign in 2020 to 2024 when he dropped out, Jake raised concerns about President Biden’s mental stamina on his shows, questioned Biden officials directly about his health on air, and consistently encouraged open discussion and debate on the issue,” a CNN spokesperson said.
