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...

Embattled CNN primetime host Chris Cuomo had become a pariah among his colleagues before he was suspended from the network over his involvement in brother Andrew's defense from sexual misconduct claims, it has now emerged.

With Democrats quaking in their boots over the plunging public support for Joe Biden and the political party that sold him as a moderate and as physically and mentally capable of doing the job, the White House messaging team and their media supporters face an enormous challenge. And they are bungling it as badly as the rest of the administration is bungling economic policy, diplomacy, and national security. The gist of the messaging lately is: 1. Things are really going well; don’t believe your lying eyes or empty pocketbook. 2. It’s your fault. 3. All this suffering is in a...

Alyssa Farah, an ex-aide to former President Trump, says she's deeply concerned about him potentially running in 2024, believing that, given a second term, he would undermine democracy and "weaponize" the government against his political opponents. CNN's Jake Tapper said in a recent interview with Farah, who served as a White House communications director and assistant to the president, that Trump "challenged our institutions near to the breaking point," asking if she believed that he would try to impose "some sort of autocracy" if he returned to the Oval Office. "I think he absolutely would," she replied. "There were things...

He pokes fun at them on a nightly basis, but Jimmy Kimmel is questioning whether it's good for Americans to laugh at the country's "terrible" issues and political leaders. "I don't know that laughing about these terrible problems that we have, and these terrible people that we have is good," the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host said in response to a question Thursday from CNN anchor Jake Tapper about whether late-night TV provides escapism for viewers. "I could probably spend an hour answering this question because I don't know that escapism is a good thing," Kimmel said during the news network's...

Glenn Youngkin has clinched the governor's race in Virginia. In fact, the GOP dominated the Old Dominion, sweeping all three major statewide races. Republicans won the lieutenant governor and attorney general races. They're poised to flip the House of Delegates. It's over in Virginia—but up the road on I-95, we have another close race in New Jersey. Yes, you read that right. The state has been a graveyard for Republicans, except for Chris Christie, Tom Kean, and Christine Todd Whitman. No one thought Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy was in danger. No one thought this was going to be a competitive...

Jake Tapper inadvertently admits COVID security theater.. CNN host Jake Tapper inadvertently revealed the security theater that is ‘COVID-safe’ after he tried to reassure people “we took off our masks just for the photo.” Tapper posted an image of himself and his CNN staffers for a “bake off” event before tweeting, “for anyone concerned, we took off our masks just for the photo, but generally we all wear masks around the office. also, we’re all vaccinated.” ...

Jon Stewart told CNN’s Jake Tapper to check his Trump Derangement Syndrome, saying it is a “mistake” to continue hyperventilating over former President Donald Trump and blaming him for all of the country’s problems. In an appearance Saturday on CNN’s State of the Union, Jon Stewart warned Tapper against portraying Trump as an omnipotent bad guy, after the host described Trump as a threat to democracy.

Confronted on his claim that Republicans “stole” the 2000 election, Virginia Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe refused to say on Sunday that George W. Bush won that election. CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash played a couple soundbites of McAuliffe falsely saying that Democratic nominee and former Vice President Al Gore won. A third soundbite of McAuliffe falsely claiming that Bush lost the 2004 election was also played. “You’re being criticized for saying, well wait a minute, the Republicans are questioning election integrity when that’s exactly what you did multiple times in more than one...

CNN host Jake Tapper has issued rare criticism of President Joe Biden, slamming him for taking a 'scolding' tone in his announcement of sweeping new COVID-19 vaccine rules. Tapper, the chief Washington correspondent at the liberal-leaning network, made the stinging remarks on Friday, a day after Biden issued the vaccine orders affecting 100 million. Companies with more than 100 workers must require staff to get vaccinated or tested weekly, or face fines under the new rules. Federal employees and healthcare workers must get vaccinated or lose their jobs, with no testing alternative.

President Biden remained holed up at Camp David on Monday after spending the weekend largely out of sight while Afghanistan crumbled into chaos, with a senior adviser only able to say he would address the nation 'soon.' With the United Nations Security Council and European ministers due to hold crisis meetings to address the rapid return of the Taliban, Biden and his officials kept a low profile amid mounting questions about their bungling departure from Afghanistan. Email enquiries sent to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki over the weekend received an automated out-of-office response saying she would return on Aug....

First Jake Tapper went after Blinken and now Savannah Guthrie going after Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan. What’s going on here, media? lol She even broke out Biden’s presser from early July where he basically got EVERYTHING wrong about Afghanistan. Right? Hey, we’re as shocked as you are. Watch:

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...
