Jake Tapper, who has a long history of attacking former President Trump, was tapped by CNN to co-moderate the first presidential debate slated for June 27.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who in recent years has become one of the most prominent anti-Trump voices in the liberal media, was selected to moderate CNN’s Presidential Debate between the former president and President Biden. It was announced Wednesday that Tapper will co-moderate the debate with CNN colleague Dana Bash on June 27 in Atlanta after both candidates agreed to the terms.
Tapper spearheaded CNN's Russiagate coverage that dominated the early years of Trump's presidency. On January 10, 2017, just ten days before Trump's inauguration, Tapper co-authored a blockbuster report about the existence of the now-infamous Steele dossier and spent several months legitimizing its claims.
Tapper's co-moderator Dana Bash has also been hostile towards Trump and conservatives. In 2022, Bash defended Biden's 'semi-fascism' jab against Republicans, insisting he was 'specifically talking about Trump supporters,' which represents tens of millions of Americans. Earlier this year, she invoked Nazi Germany while condemning Trump's comments slamming Jewish voters who back Democrats, calling them 'antisemitic and incredibly dangerous.
