CNN’s Jake Tapper BANNED from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Amid B!DEN Book SC@NDAL

Jake Tapper Reportedly Banned from Jimmy Kimmel Live Amid Biden Book Controversy
CNN anchor Jake Tapper is reportedly unwelcome on Jimmy Kimmel Live! following the explosive release of his new book, Original Sin, co-authored with Axios reporter Alex Thompson. The book outlines President Joe Biden’s alleged physical and mental decline, accusing top aides and family members of covering up his condition to secure a second term.
Tapper, once seen as a centrist media figure, is now at the center of a political firestorm. Critics say he enabled Biden’s narrative during his presidency, only to later profit from exposing it. The Biden family has publicly condemned the book, with Naomi Biden calling it “political fairy smut,” and President Biden himself dismissing the claims as “false” during a recent appearance on The View.
Sources claim Tapper’s planned appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! was quietly pulled after backlash from both Hollywood and political allies of Biden. Neither Tapper nor ABC has officially commented, but the move is being viewed as a sign of how toxic the controversy has become.
As Tapper navigates criticism from both left and right, Original Sin is making headlines and stirring debate about media responsibility, political loyalty, and the 2024 election.
