Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump was too old to be president of the United States. Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Your campaign keeps a running list and keeps tweeting a running list of Donald Trump’s fumbles and accidents and confused moments, that’s what they call them, saying this is why his handlers won’t let him debate, noting times that trump has forgot what state he is in, times he has confused Biden and Obama, confused Kristi Noem and on and on. What do you think about Donald Trump’s mental...

For some apparently unknown reason, CNN’s Jake Tapper suddenly dropped his combative nature that he carries toward Republicans and shifted to an extremely demure disposition, as he interviews Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. This is the softest softball interview I have ever seen Jake Tapper deliver; and that history goes all the way back to his ABC days as a White House correspondent.It’s almost as if there’s an agenda here in the background for Jake Tapper. Remember, this is the guy who led the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy for over two years with his friends Carl Bernstein, Jim Sciutto and Manu Raju,...

CNN gives DeSantis softball questions while they root for the Biden regime to throw Trump in prison for 450+ years.This tells me that they don’t fear DeSantis. He is “approved” by the deep state.

Tapper was fair and DeSantis came across as thoughtful, strong and presidential. https://t.co/BYAQ8Ptw6J— Miranda Devine (@mirandadevine) July 18, 2023

Townhall Media A Manhattan jury in a trial of dubious fairness, staged in a district that overwhelmingly votes Democrat, recently awarded a Trump rape accuser with damages for defamation and sexual assault regarding an incident that allegedly took place back in 1996 in a department store dressing room. Without going into the details, the story — which Trump has adamantly denied ever happened — is highly suspect at best.The defamation award, curiously, was due to Trump’s denial of the rape accusation, although the jury did not find Trump liable for the rape itself. This would seem to be a contradiction...

Chris Wallace is “irate” at the ousting of CNN president Jeff Zucker and his future at the news network is uncertain, Radar has been told.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Sunday on “State of the Union” that the Republican Party was conducting a “bigotry campaign’ while discussing Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) calling Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) the “jihad squad.” When asked about death threats, Omar said, “We receive too many to count. There’s a general fear that I have, my staff has, and the community at large has. We constantly hear from so many people across the country where their children’s hijabs have been pulled off. My daughters have experienced this. I have experienced this as a young person in this country. We know what...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper said Friday on his show “The Lead” that Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto should stay strong after getting death threats for his pro-vaccine messaging. Sunday on “MediaBuzz,” Cavuto urged those who have not yet been vaccinated against COVID to do so for “those around you.” [cut] He continued, “Neil is a survivor.

CNN's Jake Tapper unhinged about enormous progress Trump Administration has made on testing, etc. https://t.co/AfHiuqmdCe— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) July 27, 2020

CNN’s Jake Tapper took heat Tuesday for retweeting a post from conservative lawyer George Conway — a frequent critic of President Trump and the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway — that called the commander-in-chief “100% insane.” The CNN anchor on Monday retweeted Conway’s post, which said Trump “is 100% insane and nobody in the administration has the balls to tell him that,” The Hill reported. Tapper retweeted it again Tuesday while adding: “Noteworthy comment on folks in the administration from a Trump critic who knows a lot of them.”

"This is a made-up fight, so the President can look like he's fighting, but even if he wins, our borders are going to be insecure," Corker said on CNN's "State of the Union." [Cut] "We can secure our borders," Corker said. "We can solve this problem. This is a made-up fight." Asked if he meant Trump was using this as a campaign issue rather than seeking a deal, Corker said, "it has to be that." "It's a spectacle, and candidly, it's juvenile," Corker said. "The whole thing is juvenile."

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said if President Donald Trump did direct his lawyer Michael Cohen to commit federal campaign finance felonies, he was not “above the law.”

Conservative network One America News is backing the White House in its legal battle with CNN — a battle in which nearly every other major outlet in America is standing behind CNN. Thursday afternoon on Twitter, OAN CEO Robert Herring announced that the network plans to file an amicus brief in support of the White House, as they defend against a lawsuit filed by CNN to restore White House access for their chief correspondent Jim Acosta. “WE are going to file in the CNN vs White House court an Amicus Brief in favor of the White House,” Herring wrote. “Acosta’s...
