Senator JD Vance (R-OH) left CNN anchor Jake Tapper speechless after he highlighted President Donald Trump’s foreign policy record during an appearance on “State of the Union” on Sunday. Tapper, who attempted to resurrect the “Russian collusion” hoax and frame Trump as a Vladimir Putin sympathizer, was put firmly back in his place.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Thursday on his show “The Lead” it is “wild” that Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, is so “untethered from all of the facts and evidence” she still believes former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Monday’s broadcast of “The Lead” reacted to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) denial about his conversation with Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), in which he said he would recommend that then-President Donald Trump should resign. Tapper said, “Moments ago at the press conference on the border. You asked McCarthy about the big story involving McCarthy. The audio revealing that he had, in fact, told House Republicans that he would recommend that Donald Trump resign after January 6.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Wednesday on his show “The Lead” that members of Congress forwarding a “fringe conspiracy theory” about a man named Ray Epps, were not members of the high IQ society, Mensa International. Tapper said, “This is a fringe conspiracy theory, but I have to ask you because it’s showing up at congressional hearings raised by House and Senate Republicans.

It’s been a bad couple of weeks for CNN senior producers, beginning with the arrest of Chris Cuomo’s producer, John Griffin, for sex trafficking of minors by flying a mother and her 9-year-old daughter to see him for “sex training.” Then the news broke on Project Veritas that another CNN producer was into “mother-daughter” fantasies. Yesterday, James O’Keefe decided to name the second CNN staffer as Jake Tapper’s producer, Rick Saleeby, after making sure that the child the man was fantasizing about was out of harm’s way. Janine Bonanni, a former sex worker and victim of human trafficking, says she...

I have experienced this as a young person in this country. We know what...

VIDEOJake Tapper loves to use the labels "election liars" and "The Big Lie." On Sunday he again labeled Jim Jordan as an "election liar." Of course, he is referring to the 2020 election but as you can see, Tapper himself was a big defender of "The Big Lie" that there was Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election which by his own standards would make him an "election liar." As part of his promotion of "The Big Lie" about the 2016 election, watch how Tapper in 2018 desperately defended "The Big Lie" that the FISA warrant against Carter Page was somehow...
