Jake Tapper Blasts Trump Adviser's Big Biden Claim With 'Little Fact Check'
HuffPost
The CNN host shut down Jason Miller with a lone clip of the former president's past rally behavior.
Jake Tapper used Donald Trump’s rally behavior against him to disprove his campaign’s claim that the former president hasn’t mocked President Joe Biden’s stutter.
The CNN host, during Thursday’s edition of “The Lead,” pointed to a story in The Washington Post about the president embracing stuttering “to sell himself as the candidate of compassion” while Trump has “parodied the purported stammer.”
Jason Miller, senior adviser for the Trump campaign, told the Post that Trump “has never mocked Joe Biden’s speech impediment,” claiming that the presumptive GOP presidential nominee has instead called out Biden as a “cognitively impaired, low-IQ individual.”
Tapper used a “little fact check” to spoil Miller’s big claim by playing a clip of Trump mocking Biden’s stutter at an Iowa rally in January.
“Why even deny it when it’s so – I mean, it just doesn’t matter anymore, you can lie about anything?” Tapper asked.
