HuffPost
The president's daughter-in-law gave the CNN host props for sharing his regrets about a testy on-air moment.
Lara Trump, President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, took a victory lap on Tuesday as she reflected on CNN host Jake Tapper calling to apologize after he accused her of mocking Joe Biden’s stutter on the 2020 campaign trail.
“He said, ‘I have this book coming out. And I know everybody is saying that I should apologize to you. I plan, whenever the book comes out, to go on TV and I will say you were right, and I was wrong,‘” said Trump of the call from roughly two months ago in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham.
“And I guess, to Jake’s credit, he did that.”
Tapper — who is promoting his new book with Axios’ Alex Thompson on an alleged “cover-up” of Biden’s reported health decline — bluntly told Piers Morgan that Trump was right ,and he was wrong, emphasizing that she was able to register Biden’s “cognitive decline” at the time.
In his 2020 interview with Trump, Tapper played a clip of her comments at an Iowa campaign event where she said of the then-Democratic presidential candidate: “Every time he comes on stage or they turn to him, I’m like, ‘Joe, can you get it out? Let’s get the words out, Joe.’ You kinda feel bad for him.”
