CNN’s Jake Tapper, one of the biggest shills for Biden and his “sharp as a tack” mental state, is now seeking to profit with a sham exposé of the Democrats’ cover-up with his new book “Original Sin,” co-authored by Axios’ Alex Thompson. An excerpt from the book reveal that Harris lost it after her post-debate interview in an entitled rant about how the Vice President deserves to be treated. “I thought we were better than that,” she allegedly said. Kamala Harris was visibly triggered as she stammered at Cooper’s questioning of Biden’s horrible debate performance in the June 27, 2024...

Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted Anderson Cooper as a [redacted] to colleagues following a tense interview over former President Joe Biden's catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump last year, a bombshell new book revealed.The then-veep unleashed the disparaging remark after the CNN host grilled her on Biden's cognitive health immediately following his disastrous showing in June -- that ignited widespread panic and ultimately led to the octogenarian dropping out of the race."This [redacted] doesn't treat me like the [redacted] vice president of the United States, she said to colleagues," according to the new book "Original Sin," co-authored by Anderson's...

Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” senior political commentator Van Jones spoke with a group of African Americans in South Carolina who explained why they voted for and continue to support President Donald Trump. Seth Dawkins said, “I mean, part of it is he’s an &&&^&^&. I like — I like authenticity.” Detra German said, “It just opened my eyes to maybe he’s not this person that I have been led to believe that he was.” Kyasia Kraft said, “I saw how things were going during his first term, and I was pleasantly surprised, and I was pleased with what...

A “stunned Anderson Cooper watched as 60 Minutes boss sobbed through a shocking resignation meeting,” according to the Daily Mail. “Anderson Cooper looked on as his 60 Minutes boss cried while resigning amid corporate pressure brought by Donald Trump’s recent lawsuit,” the report adds. Yep, just when you think this story cannot get any more delicious, we discover that the serial liar who destroyed the reputation of 60 Minutes like no one since Dan Rather, is a literal crybaby. Bill Owens, who took charge of 60 Minutes in 2019, and who has been with CBS for 37 years, announced his...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson “They/them pronouns actually. Thank you.” Anddddd CNN’s ratings just dropped even lower 🤣 9:03 PM · Apr 9, 2025

Representative Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) claimed Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that Republican lawmakers and President Donald Trump’s voters are panicking over tariffs. Gottheimer said, “I think you’re going to see a lot of people panic and start to say, this is not what we signed up for. I did hear that from a Trump voter today who said, I did not sign up for higher costs, higher taxes. What’s going on here with all this chaos? And I think that’s what you’re going to see more of.”

SUNUNU: You’re talking about the FEMA money that was abused for migrants. That was FEMA money for migrants. That’s ok now? COOPER: No, I’m not saying it’s ok. Don’t put words in my mouth. SUNUNU: So, would you stop that? Would you stop that process? COOPER: Don’t be a d***.

Diplo ended 2024 on a high — literally. The 46-year-old DJ shocked Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper when he revealed he was tripping on LSD during his virtual appearance on CNN’s New Year’s Eve special. “I’m so curious, what’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?” Cohen, 56, asked Diplo. “Right now,” Diplo responded. Cooper, 57, burst out laughing as Cohen was in disbelief over Diplo’s confession. “Yeah, I did some on the helicopter, on the way here,” Diplo explained. “Oh my God, hold on. Hold on. Please tell me. You’re tripping right now?” Cohen asked Diplo, who said...

Comedian/actress Whitney Cummings used the platform provided by CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live 2025 special on Tuesday night to take a swipe – or three – at both her host and a litany of other topics from the year now passed. The 42-year-old referenced herself in one joke promoting her 2025 tour dates while also roasting far-left CNN with its fast diminishing viewership numbers. Standing alongside hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper in Times Square, the comedian boasted she was playing “bigger and bigger venues now” following the birth of her son in December 2023. “I thought being a mom...

CNN is reportedly set to nix some of its top talent in a round of post-election layoffs. The rumblings, first reported by Puck News, come as high-paid personalities like Jake Tapper and Wolf Blitzer were reportedly recently denied raises. The two already boast salaries of $7 million and $3 million, while stars like Anderson Cooper take home an annual $20 million. Kaitlan Collins and Erin Burnett also command inflated earnings - $3 million and $6 million apiece, respectively. {snip} In the next few months, I’m told, CNN will implement another round of layoffs that will impact hundreds of employees across...

While leftist media networks prepare to embark on one of the most epic meltdowns in history, Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper over at CNN admitted Donald Trump‘s election victory was the “greatest comeback in history.” Trump declared victory in the early hours of Wednesday morning after the media called the 2024 presidential race for him. Tapper responded to Trump’s historic election win, saying, “It is hard to think of a political comeback that is actually more significant than this one. I’m tempted to say Richard Nixon, but that really falls short of what Donald Trump has achieved.”

Former First Lady Melania Trump said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that the Democrat’s rhetoric about her husband, former President Donald Trump, was “terrible.” Co-host Steve Doocy said, “Mrs. Trump, you said that this campaign cycle feels like 2016 in the excitement and enthusiasm and things like that I would imagine but something is different and that is two different people tried to kill your husband and you saw it live on television. This is all different.” Trump said, “It is different. It is much more dangerous and I’m very vigilant and very selective of where I...

Former President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to CNN anchor Anderson Cooper with a woman’s first name in recent days as the Republican presidential nominee focuses his closing message on a hypermasculine appeal to men. On a Friday morning post on Trump’s social media site Truth Social, the former president referred to one of the most prominent openly gay journalists in the U.S. as “Allison Cooper.” […] In referring to Cooper with a woman’s name, Trump appeared to turn to a stereotype heterosexual people have long deployed against gay men. Such rhetoric evokes the trope of gay men as effeminate...

During a CNN interview Wednesday, Luntz, also known as 'The Nostradamus of pollsters,' said the Democratic nominee was doing well in the polls until she 'froze' after focusing her attention on Donald Trump. 'She had the best 60 days of any presidential candidate in modern history,' Luntz said. And then the moment she turned anti-Trump and focused on him and said 'don't vote for me, vote against him.' That's when everything froze.' Luntz added that Trump is 'defined' as he is 'not gaining' and 'not losing' in the election, while his opponent is 'less well defined.' And if she continues...

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” CNN International host Christiane Amanpour discussed Israel’s strikes on Iran and the fact that the strikes did not hit Iran’s oil facilities and said that “the United States did not want, potentially, the global oil supply, and, therefore, the global economy to be shaken” by Israel hitting Iran’s oil facilities. Host Anderson Cooper said, “[A] number of those oil facilities are actually quite vulnerable. It could be — in terms of, certainly, compared to the nuclear facilities, could be relatively easily hit and a lot of economic damage done. But Israel is saying that...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” CNN Political Commentator and former Obama Adviser Van Jones stated that while there isn’t any excuse for some of the recent actions and irresponsible statements of CEO Elon Musk, “if progressives have a politics that says, all white people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil, it’s kind of hard to keep them on your side. And so, we might want to think about, if you’re chasing people out of the party, you can’t be mad when they leave.” Jones said, “It’s sad that we lost Elon Musk, and...

As we enter the final stretch of election season, every day seems to bring another Trump/Vance victory in spite of a hostile media, and another embarrassing loss by the Harris/Walz campaign. Recently, for example, Trump endeared himself to regular Americans by putting on an apron and working the McDonald’s drive-thru; conversely, McDonald’s dealt a fatal blow to Kamala’s claim she had worked for them as a teenager by releasing a statement declaring they could find no evidence of that. She is looking more and more like the most hapless, brainless, inauthentic, unqualified presidential nominee in modern history, if not ever....

CNN’s Anderson Cooper has built his reputation on being a trusted news anchor — not a pundit, which he explained during his show on Thursday. During a frank conversation on how the news — and CNN — has covered the presidential race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, Cooper defended his network to The Breakfast Club‘s Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Rye. He also defended himself from criticism that he got from Harris supporters after Wednesday’s town hall with the VP. After the animated conversation turned to how Harris was questioned about her policy and the...

The joy ride is over. Despite her campaign’s best efforts to keep her afloat by avoiding the media and not discussing policy, Kamala Harris has come crashing down to Earth. The momentum she gained because her name wasn’t ‘Joe Biden’ has faded. Donald J. Trump has retaken the momentum in the final weeks of the 2024 election, which must be giving Democrats heartburn. It takes a special kind of sucky candidate to amass a $1 billion war chest and be incapable of mounting a significant lead over Trump. Kamala is underwater with most core voter groups she needs to win....

VIDEOI enjoy watching Mark Halperin's channel, 2Way, which features both his analysis of current events as well as the people on ZOOM of various political persuasions weighing in on the state of the political world. However, Halperin blew off a great chance to get to the bottom of something he was talking about namely who was the source of the leak of the Doug Emhoff scandal story in which he knocked up his children's nanny. Who better to answer such a question than the person who broke the story as Halperin himself acknowledged. However, when Laura Loomer, unmuted herself on...
