CNN host Jake Tapper on Thursday slammed journalist Glenn Greenwald for attacking him for co-authoring an upcoming book detailing a White House “cover-up” of former President Joe Biden’s reported health decline.
Greenwald — on Tuesday’s episode of his Rumble show “System Update” — claimed Tapper was a key member of the media who helped conceal Biden’s deteriorating condition from the public, adding that he was “demanding and insisting ... that nobody talk about Biden’s cognitive decline.”
A representative for Tapper, in a statement 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,” said the representative.
Tapper — who co-wrote “Original Sin” with Axios’ Alex Thompson, known for covering the circumstances that led to and followed Biden’s train wreck debate performance — has faced further criticism from Fox News over the book. The two authors hired a crisis PR expert to navigate its release, per The Daily Beast.
