CNN chief White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins said Monday on CNN’s “The Lead” that it was “pretty clear” President Joe Biden knew he was on a microphone when he called Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch.” Collins said, “We should note, he was speaking on a microphone, he had just made remarks to the room for about 10 or so minutes on this Competitive Council that they have formed here at the White House, and was pretty — it seemed pretty clear he knew he was on a mic, Jake.”

During CNN’s coverage of President Joe Biden’s press conference on Wednesday, host Jake Tapper stated that raising doubt about the legitimacy of election results is something Democrats and reporters have disliked about former President Donald Trump and Biden refused to say that the 2022 election would be legitimate, but he’s “certainly not going to compare what Joe Biden just said, President Biden just said, with Donald Trump’s history when it comes to the big lie on the elections.”

A top House Republican revealed Sunday the investigation into the man who took four people hostage at a Texas synagogue on Saturday has gone international. What are the details? Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN host Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" there is "something more" to the case than a lone actor. In fact, McCaul disclosed that the FBI's investigation now extends to London and Tel Aviv. "I know the FBI has now fanned their investigation out to London and Tel Aviv. So this has now turned into an...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper pointed out Tuesday on his show “The Lead” that Democrats were only complaining about voting restrictions in red states, while blue states like New Jersey and Delaware did not allow ballot harvesting. After both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris gave speeches on the Democrats voting legislation in Georgia today, Tapper said, “Look, I genuinely as an American feel that in addition to guarding against fraud, which is very little of in the United States, it should be as easy as possible for Americans to vote.”

VIDEOJake Tapper castigated President Trump over "Who Counts the Votes" during his January 16 "State Of The Union" show. Guess what? Joe Biden also angrily declared that what matters isn't so much who gets to vote as "WHO COUNTS THE VOTES." Thus far no comment from Tapper on Biden's declaration.

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. An Arizona man, Ray Epps, has become a target of what appears to be a completely baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that he was an undercover FBI agent or informant or operative at the Capitol on January 6...

There’s a reason CNN’s Jake Tapper is intent on branding me a “menace” and “a liar,” and why he refuses to debate me on the merits of facts and scientific evidence. Here’s the back story. Apparently, appalled by robust sales of my bestseller, “The Real Anthony Fauci,” CNN anchor Jake Tapper — in lieu of critically reviewing the work — used his Twitter feed to unleash a barrage of ad hominem insults against me. Breaking with the traditional restraints of journalistic neutrality, professional propriety and intellectual rigor, he branded me “dangerous,” a “menace,” a “liar,” a “grifter,” a fraud, “unhinged”...

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 am very grateful toward you guys and everything you’ve done for me and my children. Our world has just been completely flipped upside down, but none of that matters. We are all safe. I’m hoping, praying, and pushing for charges to be brought against him, so he can never do this to another child/family again

VIDEOJake Tapper went full mental jacket during his meltdown on his "State Of The Union" show. What set him off was people daring to question the official narrative he and much of the mainstream media is presenting. Tapper, who appears to be auditioning for Keith Olbermann's old slot at MSNBC, mentioned a number of names. However, one name he refrained from bringing up was Ray Epps. You also won't see the January 6 Committee as currently constituted subpoenaing Epps. However, that could change when there is an expected turnover in Congress next year and the new 1/6 Committee Chairman Jim...

CNN's Jake Tapper is one of the most well-known television journalists in the US. Tapper values truth, transparency, honesty, and kindness, according to interviews. He's naturally skeptical and, to remain neutral, he doesn't vote. Politico says he could be the best current television interviewer in the US. He grew up in a Philadelphia "hippy" household, but one focused on what was right and wrong. After three years he left Washington City Paper to become the Washington Correspondent for Salon. His editor at the time Joan Walsh said it was clear that he wasn't ideologically driven. Tapper's wife says her husband...

There is no amount of money that can buy enough soap to wash that blood off their hands.

Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was a “liar and a coward” for how he handled Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Omar the “jihad squad.” Anchor Jake Tapper said, “I want to start with those comments, Boebert comparing you to a terrorist suicide bomber. What is it like to hear that kind of blatant bigotry coming from a fellow member of the House of Representatives?”

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “State of the Union” that the Republican Party was conducting a “bigotry campaign’ while discussing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the “jihad squad.” When asked about death threats, Omar said, “We receive too many to count. There’s a general fear that I have, my staff has, and the community at large has. We constantly hear from so many people across the country where their children’s hijabs have been pulled off. My daughters have experienced this. I have experienced this as a young person in this country. We know what...
