Overview

  • A C-SPAN caller named Sarah confronted Tapper for focusing on his book about Biden’s cognitive decline rather than probing President Trump’s mental health.
  • She accused him of doing a “disservice” to Biden and the American people by not probing Trump’s medical exams, medication and what she called his “pure chaos” behavior.
  • Sarah urged Tapper to write another book examining Trump’s actions, from deploying the National Guard to erratic public statements.
  • Tapper highlighted CNN’s regular two-hour Trump segment at 5 to 7 p.m. Eastern as proof of his consistent coverage.
  • He maintained that questions about Trump’s behavior are driven by personality traits and not by cognitive issues.
