CNN’s Jake Tapper has been blasted as a “hypocrite” for trying to “rewrite history” and profit off former President Joe Biden’s mental decline with his new bombshell book — despite the lefty anchor staunchly defending him while he was still in the White House.

Troubling accounts of Biden’s physical and mental decline — as well as apparent efforts to cover it up — started emerging Tuesday when snippets of Tapper’s forthcoming book “Original Sin” were made public.
The backlash against Tapper, who co-wrote the book with Axios’ Alex Thompson, was swift on social media — with critics immediately ripping the CNN personality for trying to line his pockets.

“Jake Tapper covered Biden’s ass the entire time. And is now running to the other side and throwing his reporter hat on,” one X user raged.

Another chimed in, writing: “Jake Tapper wrote a book about the coverup of Biden’s decline, as if he played no role in it at all. It’s quite amazing. Tapper smeared and attacked people who brought up Biden’s decline, including Democrats.”
