Jake Tapper’s willingness to host Biden administration officials who allegedly misled the public remains uncertain, but his recent critiques suggest he may take a harder line. During interviews promoting his book Original Sin, Tapper blasted Hunter Biden as “demonstrably unethical, sleazy, and prone to horrible decisions,” citing Hunter’s influence in the White House and personal scandals. He also accused Jill Biden and top aides of concealing President Biden’s cognitive decline, claiming they prioritized political survival over transparency.

While Tapper hasn’t explicitly stated whether he’ll ban lying officials from his CNN show, his scathing assessment of Bidenworld’s credibility implies heightened scrutiny. Megyn Kelly pressed Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson on media complicity in the cover-up, with Thompson admitting some journalists downplayed red flags. Tapper defended his debate moderation during Biden’s disastrous 2024 performance but acknowledged the event exposed the president’s frailty.

From a conservative perspective, Tapper’s belated criticisms ring hollow after years of mainstream media deference to Biden. His book profits from revelations patriots highlighted years ago – proof the “fake news” industrial complex protects Democrats until the dam breaks. True accountability would mean permanently shunning Biden allies who gaslit Americans about the president’s fitness, but CNN’s liberal bias makes that unlikely.
