Jake Tapper admits ‘Trump was right,’ ‘Biden was wrong’ about Hunter Biden in 2020 presidential debate

[Social Media]

Tapper noted reporting on Hunter Biden's business dealings 'directly goes against what Joe Biden said in the debate'

CNN host and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper admitted that former President Donald Trump "was right" when he accused then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden of accepting large amounts of foreign money during the 2020 presidential debates.

On CNN's "The Lead" Thursday, Tapper also declared that Biden "was wrong" during the match-ups between the two candidates three years ago, when the then-Democratic nominee denied Trump’s allegations that his son made "a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow and various other places."

At the time Biden flatly rejected the claim, saying, "None of that is true." Tapper gave Biden the benefit of the doubt in his commentary, stating he didn’t know whether the then-candidate was "lying" at the time.

 

Tapper played a compilation of the two debate exchanges and compared them with a recent report from Washington Post chief-fact checker Glenn Kessler showing Biden to be wrong.

The host stated, "Glenn Kessler from the Washington Post had a fact check about Joe Biden from earlier this month noting that Hunter Biden admitted in court in July that he was in fact paid substantial sums from Chinese companies."

Citing the piece, Tapper said, "Kessler wrote, ‘Hunter Biden reported nearly 2.4 million in income in 2017 and 2.2 million in income in 2018,’ most of which came from Chinese or Ukrainian interests."

He then took a swipe at Biden’s 2020 claims, before playing footage from the debates, "This directly goes against what Joe Biden said in the debate in 2020 with Donald Trump. Take a listen."

If Tapper wants to give Glenn Kessler credit for this retraction, he should also, in the interest of balance, note Kessler's fact checking of Trump records he lied on average 21 times a day, for every day of his Presidency.

This is about an influential liberal left wing reporter for the liberal left wing CNN now admitting that Biden lied during the debates... it's got nothing to do about Trump or his lies, but trust a lefty liberal to twist it around... 555

[pomchop]

.....let's just keep on beating that hunter biden drum and ignore the fact that trump is facing 91 felonies that certainly appear to be backed up by a mountain of evidence provided almost exclusively by trumper republicans hired or appointed by trump who voted for trump and who are willing to testify under oath as to what the personally saw and heard trump do....a man who is already threatening retribution against witnesses, judges, prosecutors and anyone who dares to want to get to the truth.

 

and of course that awful hunter biden who it does appear made some $$ by playing off daddy's name.....about 7 million or so ....hunter biden who never worked in the white house or hired by daddy....every time someone says trump respond in unison HUNTER BIDEN....if repubs had 1/100 of the solid evidence of crimes committed by hunter compared to trump he would be in jail...so where oh where is all that evidence?  Maybe it is in the promised report from trump that will also provide all the long awaited evidence irrefutable evidence that once and for all will prove that the Ga election was rigged...oh...uh...duh...never mind not gonna be showing anyone that "evidence"

 

but don't dare mention trumps son in law kushner who like hunter ( had no experience in ukraine) had zero experience in saudi and the middle east...but daddy in law brings him into white house, pumps him up as some kind of middle east expert and suddenly he is buddy buddy with a murdering saudi prince who conveniently give kusher about 2 billion to invest for the saudis even though the saudi comittee of financial advisers refsused to approve the deal as kusher had little to no experience in runnin big investment companies...but no worries the prince overrruled them and kushner gets 2 BILLION plus additional $$ from other middle east dictators...coincidence? oh hell it was only about 3 BILLION total compared to 7 million or so and kushner worked IN the white house...but of course kushner was not doing what hunter was doing and that is playing off his family connections to people who HOPED to gain some special consideration from their daddy daddy in law...and lets forget how many millions daddys little girl sucked out of china when daddy calls the chinese leader a brilliant man...

 

by all means if hunter did illegal stuff then lay out the evidence for all to see of the crime he committed and prosecute him....but while you are at it lets also put the microscope on kushner and ivaka...actually it would appear that all three of them tried to play off daddy's name to make a pile of $$ for themselves....one side took BILLIONS one side took MILLIONS...for the numerically challenged a BILLION is a LOT more than a MIllion and if you actually worked in the white house you likely could convince rich dicatators that you had more access to daddy than a guy who could only get daddy on the phone to sometimes say "hi" to your friends....

I did say if have proof then by all means charge biden....but all i hear from republicans every time the big orang man is mentioned is hunter biden hunter biden hunter biden....my head is just fine but there are a lot of heads that are so far up trumps behind that they want to use hunter as some kind of excuse as to why trump should not be held accountable..

 

.how many trumpers have said by all means if trump is guilty then prosecute him?  A handful....it is all a big witch hunt against trump and after all what about hunter biden?  I am glad at least u have not lost site of trump corruption and as soon as i see the long long long awaited proof of biden guilt i will say indict him...but so far for most repubs biden is guilty even though not charged..i will "gain sight" of the biden corruption when somebody shows me some solid evidence and tells me what crime was committed....not a bunch of he said she said conspiracy theories........meantime trump is charged and his charges are backed by a massive amount of evidence....and again u are right it is two separate issues so how about the repubs quit saying hunter biden hunter biden like a buch of head bobbing brain dead dolls everytime there is a story about Trumps problems?

When a loving father erroneously supports his son and truly believes that the son did not do something, that is not a lie.

 

Even Tapper gave Joe Biden the benefit of the doubt that Joe Biden might not known that he was wrong about Hunter at the time.

 

Obviously, there is nothing to see here, and it is all right-wing hyperbole to demonise Joe, on behave of the proven sex predator and fourfold arrested and indicted criminal defendant.

You're wrong. Please point me to the segment where Tapper admitted Biden lied? 

 

Here's the quote:

Its good to see we have hosts that can be critical and reflect on previous statements made by Joe even when it means they were wrong. Damn CNN eh.....

 

I wonder now if you'll admit you were wrong in your post?

You are correct, the FOX article in the OP is an attempted diversion.

[Chomper Higgot]

I’ve never told my father what I earn nor have I ever asked my children about their incomes.

 

I do tell my kids, just like my father told me, file your incomes honestly and pay your taxes. 

 

Not knowing what one’s children earn or where they earn it isn’t a crime.

 

I see from the article Hunter did indeed report his income.

Labeling someone is straight out of Trump's playbook, no surprise there. I'd much rather have that label than that of a right-wing fascist.

 

Fascism is based on the proposition one leader or elite knows better than anyone else, in itself a logical absurdity.

Talking of muppets, I wonder how many of them actually realize Trump is diverting their donations to pay his legal bills. Of course, they also think 4 indictments is Biden weaponizing the legal system. How can that be, with Republicans appearing as witnesses for the prosecution?

I am wondering how one alleged lie by Biden stacks up against 21 a day from Trump. Your bias is showing.

bidenette's  only comeback is once again, "well what about trump"  

 

it's not an alleged lie, it was a lie. To me biden is garbage, much like most of the dems.

evidence of crime?  real evidence not some conspiracy theory garbage found on the deep web....you know like the kind outlined in the 4 indictments re trump where real people who were actually there testify under oath what they saw and heard all backed up by text, emails, documents....evidence that is strong enough to be presented to a grand jury who then decides if it warrants indictment on a specific crime.....muppets are waiting.

No no! They don't need evidence! The GOP even stated it officially!
