As we've been reporting, CNN's Jake Tapper is out there promoting his new book, "Original Sin," about the White House's cover-up of President Joe Biden's mental and physical decline. Tapper's been playing dumb — the White House lied to him: to the press, to the public, to donors, to members of Biden's cabinet. His keen journalist's eye made him suspect there might be something up with Biden, but he had to wait until after the election to write a book about it, because only then were people ready to talk.
Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson insist that they covered the story at the time. Thompson even says that Tom Elliott's supercut of Tapper and others assisting in the cover-up is "deceptively edited" … "putting the Lara Trump interview aside." Yeah, about that Lara Trump interview. MAZE has posted it:
On October 18th, 2020 Lara Trump suggested that Biden was showing signs of cognitive decline. Jake Tapper flipped out on her. How dare she diagnose Joe Biden!

Nine days later Jake Tapper had Mary Trump on for a 10 min segment to discuss Donald Trump's mental illness and decline. pic.twitter.com/9ZZcCuHrJ8
What a fraud. We hope Tapper dressed down his colleague Brian Stelter, who kept interviewing the psychiatrist who'd never met Donald Trump but wanted him put in a 72-hour psychiatric hold.
That right there was pure election interference in 2020.

Absolutely.
“stutter” 🤣

Tapper took personal offense at Trump trying to make an issue out of Biden's lifelong stutter.
@mazemoore your coverage needs to be just as loud as his book promotion this week!

Democrat double standard is still untouched. 💯💯

He didn't want to issue a spoiler alert for his book.

Whatever makes him money. Made him money then, writing a book makes money now

Jake Tapper is a fraud.
— Mary Frost (@mlfrostmi) May 13, 2025
He's made that pretty clear today.
And then he got a book deal on his excellent journalism.

I find it cosmically unfair that Tapper is about to rake in a lot of dough and press for his insincere book. He should be paying a price for his part in the cover up NOT profiting.

I find some comfort in knowing the universe eventually balances out. He will get his.
Jake Tapper is not journalist and has no integrity at all.

Jake’s an insecure bully and a condescending one at that.

He really is a fraud, and this video proves it very clearly.
