Gutfeld on Jake Tapper’s New Book: ‘You Can’t Ignore CNN’s Role in the Cover-Up if You’re Writing a Book About the Cover-Up’

PERINO: “CNN star anchor Jake Tapper facing controversy after announcing a new book he is co-authoring called Original Sin, which claims to expose the cover-up of Biden’s mental decline. But the sudden change of heart is not sitting well with many people who have pointed to Tapper’s extensive history of downplaying concerns about Biden’s mental acuity.”

TAPPER: “He’s sharp physically. I mean, mentally. I think the question is physically, right?

He’s 81 and his memory, you know, it doesn’t seem great. It’s not horrible.”

PERINO: “As an editor and a star anchor —“

GUTFELD: “I’m sorry, but the clip with him and and Lara Trump, where he accused her of denigrating Biden’s stutter when she was talking about his cognitive difficulties, as though everybody somehow had this information that Joe Biden had a stutter. Except, you know, it’s like, oh, how dare you. And it was — this all kind of smells because I don’t know how Joe — Jake Tapper could have written this book if he didn’t believe it and if he didn’t say anything up until this book comes out, you know. I mean, if there’s still time, I mean, maybe Jake should write a mea culpa. Maybe he has, inside the book where he admits that not only did he deny the obvious, which is the biggest story of our political lifetimes, we had a hollow president. But you also denigrated those like Lara Trump who dared to speak out about it. So how can — you can’t ignore CNN’s role in the cover-up if you’re writing a book about the cover-up. Unless you didn’t write the book about the cover-up, you just slapped your name on it. I don’t know.”
