Megyn Kelly to Jake Tapper: Biden Cover-Up Could Only Work If You Allowed It
Megyn Kelly told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a contentious interview about how he covered President Biden’s decline: “Yes, there was a cover-up. And there was an attempted cover-up. It could only ever work if you allowed it.”
JAKE TAPPER: Joe Biden has been saying stupid things for decades. MEGYN KELLY: OK, but that minimizes it too. Because it was more than stupid things. But I’m just-I’m telling you. Over here in my ecosphere, we were covering all of these. It wasn’t just falling down-it was getting lost. It was some of the stuff you report in your book. We knew and we were reporting on-the multi-jump cuts in the videos of him, where it was obvious he couldn’t get through a one-minute take, so they had to use those. It was clear to us that he was using teleprompters, and there was some reporting on that at the time-all of which the White House was denying. Now, with the current White House-I have some connections. With the Joe Biden White House. I had none. But you did. You did. You’ve been in Washington 30 years, Jake, you and CNN have White House connections. But there was no effort-none-to get to the bottom of this. And now for you guys to write this book like there was a cover-up-it’s like, yes, there was a cover-up. And there was an attempted cover-up. It could only ever work if you allowed it.
