Jake Tapper Hits Back At Criticism Of Biden ‘Cover-Up’ Book: ‘Lies From Bad Faith Actors’ | EUROtoday

CNN host Jake Tapper on Thursday slammed journalist Glenn Greenwald for attacking him for co-authoring an upcoming guide detailing a White House “cover-up” of former President Joe Biden’s reported well being decline.

Greenwald — on Tuesday’s episode of his Rumble present “System Update” — claimed Tapper was a key member of the media who helped conceal Biden’s deteriorating situation from the general public, including that he was “demanding and insisting … that nobody talk about Biden’s cognitive decline.”

A consultant for Tapper, in a press release to The Daily Beast on Thursday, scorched Greenwald for doing an “entire segment based on false attacks that could’ve been fact-checked in seconds.”

“Lies from bad faith actors will keep coming for whatever reason but the truths of the book remain,” stated the consultant.

Tapper — who co-wrote “Original Sin” with Axios’ Alex Thompson, recognized for protecting the circumstances that led to and adopted Biden’s practice wreck debate efficiency — has confronted additional criticism from Fox News over the guide. The two authors employed a disaster PR knowledgeable to navigate its launch, per The Daily Beast.

Greenwald argued that polls mirrored how Americans “overwhelmingly” believed Biden was in cognitive decline, was “too old” to run once more and wasn’t match for the Oval Office — claiming that the media have been the one ones who pretended this wasn’t the case.

Greenwald, elsewhere on his present, analyzed a supercut of Tapper weighing in on a Wall Street Journal article printed weeks previous to Biden’s June 2024 debate in opposition to Donald Trump. The newspaper reported on the time that Biden confirmed “signs of slipping” behind “closed doors.”

Greenwald — whose supercut reveals Tapper noting that the WSJ is “owned by News Corp. which is run by the Murdochs” — accused the CNN host of attempting to “disparage” the reporting and appearing as if it was a “partisan hit-job.”

But, as The Daily Beast famous, Tapper was referring to a then-White House spokesperson’s probably insinuating that the WSJ was “taking orders” from the Murdochs.

Tapper, in separate remarks throughout a CNN look on Wednesday, famous that he believed “some of the criticism” towards him is “fair to be honest.”

“Knowing then what I know now, I look back at my coverage during the Biden years — and I did cover some of these issues, but not enough — I look back on it with humility,” he stated.
