In 2020, Lara Trump appeared on Jake Tapper’s CNN show and expressed concerns about Joe Biden’s mental acuity. Not only did Tapper not take her seriously, he berated her for even raising the issue. He claimed that she was mocking Biden’s stutter, a thing that no one had even heard about in Biden’s long career.
Now that Tapper is selling a book about Biden’s mental decline, people have been waiting for him to admit that Lara Trump was right. Apparently, he called her and apologized.
FOX News reports:
Lara Trump reveals story behind CNN anchor Jake Tapper’s ‘a little bit too late’ apologySince releasing the damning book on the Biden presidency “Original Sin” earlier in May, CNN anchor Jake Tapper has faced scrutiny for his past coverage of former President Joe Biden’s alleged decline in office.Although Tapper has admitted to insufficiently reporting on Biden’s health concerns, the CNN anchor went on to apologize to Fox News host Lara Trump, whom he previously rebuked for raising concerns in 2020.While Trump does “appreciate” the apology, she said “it feels a little bit too late.””Jake Tapper saying that this is like a Watergate-level type of situation, now that he played a role in it, it feels a little bit too late to me. I do appreciate that he did keep his word, though, and has come out and said that I was right,” Trump said Tuesday on “The Ingraham Angle.”Trump said Tapper called her about two months ahead of the release of “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.” During the call, he told Trump he would apologize on TV for his exchange with Trump in October 2020 on CNN.
In this video, Lara talks about the call she got from Tapper. It also includes a flashback of their 2020 exchange:
It’s nice that Tapper called her, but why didn’t he have her on the show to apologize to her in person?
The Tapper book tour and everything connected to it simply looks like a massive CYA operation. It appears he is just trying to absolve himself and CNN for their part in the Biden charade.
