Conservative Twitter accounts blasted CNN anchor and chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper for his on-air “softball” interview with President Joe Biden that was featured on Tuesday’s “CNN Tonight.”
During the on-air interview, Tapper and Biden covered a range of subjects including how the president has been dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the possibility of a U.S. recession in the near future, and potential federal charges against his son, Hunter Biden.
However, critics said Tapper went too easy on Biden, pointing out that he didn’t ask the president about the “disaster” at the border, the “unprecedented crime wave” in America, or press Biden on being a recession denier.
(During the interview, Biden denied that the U.S. is currently in a recession, warning that it could see a slight one. Though traditional metrics indicated the country is in one.)
