CNN anchor Jake Tapper took a swipe at Fox News host Sean Hannity over his analysis of a “very different” President Joe Biden following his State of the Union tackle Thursday.
Tapper, on Friday’s version of “The Lead,” famous that Republicans have talked about Biden being “old, weak, gaffe-prone, senile” and a “pushover” earlier than flipping to a clip of Hannity –– who he known as an “unofficial Trump adviser.”
“Tonight, America saw, let’s say, a very different Joe Biden. I might call him ‘Jacked-Up Joe’ and that’s being charitable. He sounded like a hyper-caffeinated angry old man,” mentioned Hannity, who has labelled Biden with the Trump-backed nickname “Sleepy Joe” for years.
The CNN anchor quipped that Hannity has all the time been “known for being charitable” earlier than elevating a query about conservative takes on Biden’s fiery speech to Congress.
“Can Republicans have it both ways?” Tapper requested.
“I mean, this also reminds me of the fact that they accuse him of being a dumb puppet fool and also this criminal mastermind. It just seems like you gotta pick a lane here.”
Hannity, in response to Tapper, took to X with a nickname of his personal for the CNN anchor.
“Lol. @jaketapper Fake Jake are you really that dumb? OK. Let’s play, game on. Tune in to radio and TV Monday. I’ll gladly educate you. If you still have a job Monday,” Hannity wrote on Friday.
