Hunter Biden has furiously called CNN’s Jake Tapper a “complete and utter a–hole” who is “full of f–king s–t.”
The long-troubled former first son launched his expletive-ridden tirade when asked about Tapper’s book, “Original Sin,” about Biden’s dad’s disastrous failed 2024 run for re-election.
“I think that Jake is a complete and utter a–hole,” Hunter, 56, told the CNN’s star’s former colleague, Don Lemon, on his podcast Wednesday.
The foul-mouthed former first son said he has known Tapper for 25 years, calling him a “really poor journalist.
“I don’t think he’s a very decent human being,” he said.
“I think he’s full of f–king s–t,” Hunter added, branding him “the Brick Tamland of his generation,” in reference to Steve Carell’s idiotic weatherman character in the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.”
Tapper’s 2025 book, co-authored with Axios’ Alex Thompson, details claims of a cover-up regarding President Biden’s age and health, and features interviews with Democrat insiders who blame his decision to step down only after a poor debate performance for dooming Kamala Harris’ election campaign.
It also accuses Biden’s inner circle, including Hunter, and the First Lady Jill Biden, of shielding the president from the press, something Hunter took umbrage to.
“The way that he [Tapper] has spoken about me, the way he has spoken about my mother, the way that he has spoken about my father, the idea that I would tell you — and be full of s–t like everybody else usually is, and say, ‘Well, you know, I’d like to respect Jake’s long career in journalism and, you know, he’s done good things before’ — you know what? I don’t have to say that. I’m not running for anything,” Hunter ranted.
Jake Tapper’s representatives did not respond immediately to requests for comment, but a spokesperson for CNN told Mediate that “Jake Tapper is a respected journalist and his work speaks for itself.”
“For decades, he has challenged and scrutinized those in power, regardless of party, ideology, or title. That’s the job, and he’s done it exceptionally well. These comments are frankly ridiculous and shouldn’t warrant news coverage,” the spokesperson added.
