Former Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly and her recent interview with CNN reporter Jake Tapper got an honest reaction from analyst Stephen A. Smith.
In one of his recent videos, Stephen A. Smith talked about the now-viral interview of Megyn Kelly with Jake Tapper, where she called out the CNN personality over his handling of his recent interview, particularly that of Lara Trump and former president Joe Biden
The fact remains that there were people who had come on CNN, who had appeared on Jake Tapper’s show like Lara Trump did, and he summarily dismissed them, which he openly admits. He confessed to having a private conversation in the aftermath of learning the facts and essentially apologizing to Lara Trump. Does that make up for how dismissive he was towards her? I don’t know.”
“I’m going to throw myself out here now,” Smith went on. “I called out Joe Biden and the diminished mental acuity and the incapacitation that so many people were alluding to. I called it out a year in advance. I got eviscerated. And I’m not conservative. So, I can relate to Megan Kelly sitting before him and being pretty pissed off because the conservative media was right, and the liberal media wasn’t just wrong.”
“The challenge is, was it intentional? Now, I’m not here to accuse Jake Tapper of that. I’ll ask him when I speak to him.”
Megyn Kelly Calls Out Jake Tapper in Handling of Joe Biden Interview
Megyn Kelly recently confronted CNN anchor Jake Tapper in a heated interview, accusing him of failing to press President Joe Biden on critical issues, particularly regarding his health and decision to run for re-election.
“That’s true,” Tapper acknowledged during his appearance at “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
“But I did ask him about his age and the fact that the American people had concluded that even though he said whenever anybody brought up the subject of his age, ‘Watch me.’ And I said, they’re watching you and they are concerned that you were too old for this job.”
But Kelly insisted the gaffe about Walorski demanded further scrutiny.
“You know as well as I do that there’s a way you can say, ‘Hey, there’s this poll on your age,’ or you could say, ‘You just forgot that Jackie Walorski was dead. You asked where she was moments after watching a videotape tribute to her. You lowered the flags at the White House after she died.’ This happened 13 days before you sat with him. There is a way of pressing a man like that on the actual infirmities to bring it home to him and to the audience, and you didn’t do it.”
While Tapper maintained that his coverage had been fair, Kelly’s pointed remarks reignited discussions about media accountability and the role of journalists in shaping public discourse.
Megyn Kelly continues ot have key personalities in politics and media on her show on relevant and timely topics.
