Jake Tapper reads alleged WHCD shooter's manifesto, Jeanine Pirro snaps
On CNN, Jake Tapper read passages from the manifesto tied to the man accused of shooting a Secret Service agent at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro called the reading "outrageous." Tapper then confronted Pirro with a clip of Tucker Carlson suggesting President Donald Trump could be the "antichrist" and asked whether that rhetoric "seems incendiary." The heated exchange matters because it centered debate on whether airing extremist writings and linking inflammatory commentary to mainstream figures belongs in national security coverage.
Tapper plays Jeanine Pirro a clip of Tucker Carlson recently suggesting Trump is the antichrist, and asks her if she thinks that language is as incendiary as James Comey's seashells
Show her this and ask if this is as incendiary? Spoiler alert: it’s worse
“All we care about is what we selectively care about.”
Without hypocrisy republicans would have no pocricy at all.
If Pirro wants to throw Tucker in the pokey, I might rethink the first amendment after all.
Tapper is still a weakassed self-serving purveyor of pablum to maintain access.
"I don't want to confuse Tucker's madness with the administration's vindictiveness."
Anytime someone starts a reply with “Look—“ or “Listen—“ they’re buying themselves time to come up with a non-answer.
She thinks trump the VICTIM?? Sure go into a court of law. We have EVIDENCE FOR 9 years of HIS THREATS. Shut up and sit down Pirro🤬🔥🤬
shes going to be hitting the juice box in the green room
Pirro is a vacuous little Trumpian sycophant incapable of rational objective thought.
Surprised he didn’t ask her if she thought Biden was cognitively aware enough to be a former president.
Weak, weak answer, Ms. Pirro. Sad, sad lawyering. Immoral humaning.
It is always the correct strategy to get fascists to turn on each other.
Ummm Jake, no one says “crazier” or more “horrific” things than the guy occupying the white house. You should point that out. We are all victims of the trump regime except the oligarchs.
Tapper is again disingenuous: How would he know if it was staged or not? The shooter never made it to the room so Tapper has no clue what happened. What does staged mean? Staged at what level? He genuinely has no idea. He saw people running from someone who never entered the room they were in.
I like this because she used to be a big Tucker fan.
And? Not to worry, Tapper is coming out with a sequel to "Original Sin" because Biden.....................
I applaud her for not being drunk
Fantastic world we live in
Just be aware that this is not news. This is a non-journalist busy with self promotion interviewing a talk show host who was placed in a gov office as a favor from a mob boss who stole the Presidency, and they are talking about who said what about that mob boss, and who insulted the mob boss more.
Chuck Todd and his both sides questions makes him look weak and dumb.
She is again not answering the question. She is in over her head., cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/we-d...
You can't spell "Antichrist" without "Christ," so clearly this was a compliment.
DOJ's record of losses are on track for more.
Between Jeanine Pirro and Katherine Leavitt, which one has The Most Slappable Face In Human History? It's got to be one of them. Can we take a vote?
Literally what is the point of this? How is this in any way productive? Jack Tapper sucks
Carlson did not simply suggest the orange turd is the antichrist, he flat out said it. And denied it in his interview with the NYT. Carlson is a liar who will say whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear at any particular moment even it if contradicts what he said 5 seconds before...
Her fucking job is not "to protect the president". wikipedia: By statute, the U.S. attorney is responsible for prosecuting both federal crimes and all serious crimes committed by adults in the District of Columbia.
Simple translation: Pirro's the next cunt auditioning for Attorney General.
I take issue (vigorously) with Tapper characterizing the description of Trump as a rapist, pedophile, and traitor as “a lot of crazy people saying a lot of horrific things.” That’s the truth, Jake. It might be startling to you, if you’ve never actually looked it in the fucking face before.
Pirro's job is to protect the president? That's what she said.
I hate that the media is framing this as a "who said what" argument instead of a first amendment argument.
Jake Tapper just sits there and lets Pirro get away with complete nonsense. It reminds me of why I stopped watching him and CNN.
She brings up ‘victim blaming’—when it has zero to do with the discussion—because she can’t even pretend to extricate herself from the pathological conservative persecution complex. ‘Conservatives innocent, liberals evil’ and to even question the former is ‘victim blaming.’ And Tapper just watches

Unlike Jake and Jeanine, I’m Fine with blaming the victim. He’s as much a source of hateful rhetoric as anybody. Oh and yes, Jeanine, you did release the videos. When will the investigation on the K-9 cop who we saw chatting with Allen right before he stormed in?
The WHCD "assassination attempt" was not staged. It was anticipated and utilized.
Won't someone think about Donald Trump, the poor little victim
Pirro says we "can't blame the victim." (Trump) And Tapper says "I'm not blaming the victim." WHY???? The "victim' is the one who's created this insufferable hell we're all living through. Blame him, Jake. The evidence is clear and abundant.
I don’t think I’ve seen her sober before.
Tapper is full of himself as usual and Pirro still trying to be relevant
She doesn’t care about other incendiary language, just the made up stuff.
Jeanine Pirro should just stick to what she knows, drinking hard liquor. That's her TRUTH. Beyond that, caring isn't her specialty.🥃🍷🍸
It’s important for CNN to give a successful alcoholic, Jeanine Winebox, a national forum to spew nonsense. I however, prefer news.
Btw, Tapper is an idiot.
She says we have no right to discuss any of this. We have every right to discuss this. It all concerns us. She seems to think that we are here to serve her and them. Fucking GOP.
Yeah, not staged. Tapper was the there. The shooting was real. We now know one secret service person shot another secret service person. The suspect never fired a shot. 🙄
Jake Tapper, coward. The question is a direct, does Pirro actually believe a picture of seashells is a threat? Really? It’s a picture of seashells. Followed up by how much drinking is old Jeanine doing these days.
Breaking news: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, D.C.’s top federal prosecutor, said ballistic evidence shows the alleged assailant at the White House correspondents’ dinner shot at a Secret Service officer.
Swear to it in court or it didn't happen.
There's something wrong with the US justice system, where a person who has been charged with a criminal offence & is in prison awaiting trial, yet a series of high profile Govt' officials openly give their opinion on evidence and guilt, pre-trial. In most democracies that is sub-judice & contempt.
They are so used to lying that they lie even without reason. Incompetence is rampant in this administration, and it is deeply demoralizing.
That officer fired 4 or 5 times at point blank and missed everything and everyone AND didn’t even flinch from a round of buckshot to the chest at point blank? I can’t tell from the video but are they even wearing full ceramic plate carrier?
How high was her BAC when she said it though?
Almost certainly a lie. This traitorous administration cannot be trusted
We have VIDEO PROOF that it was another officer who shot him. Stop being state propaganda, morons
He said, she said. The video says the attacker didn't shoot at the officer. The other officer did. 🤷
State news agency says what?
I didn’t know you could do ballistic testing on shotguns.
Thank you for your continuing support for Powell remaining on the board! Well done, Jeanine! Inquiry Into Fed Chair Jerome Powell Could Be Resurrected, Jeanine Pirro Says www.nytimes.com/2026/05/03/u... #JeromePowell #FederalReserve #JeaninePirro #USPol
Weaponizing the DOJ & threatening to prosecute people you disagree with from a policy standpoint (i.e. demanding that the Fed lower interest rates in the middle of flipping stagflation because Dear Leader wants to control central banks/be self-serving & profit off his bond holdings) is so corrupt.
This is exhausting and relentless. VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026!
