Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene revealed this week that she is no longer on board with President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," Fox News reported. The Georgia Republican has been one of Trump's most loyal allies, but is part of a movement of others who are distancing themselves from the legislation they voted for two weeks ago.

The public tension has arisen in part from a feud developing between Trump and Elon Musk, the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Fellow Trump ally Rep. Scott Perry confirmed Musk's "right to call out House Leadership" over the bill.

"I wish I had a nickel for every time the @freedomcaucus sounded the alarm and nobody listened, only to find out the hard way we were right all along. We expect MASSIVE improvements from the Senate before it gets back to the House," Perry said.

The Pennsylvania Republican is another staunchly pro-MAGA Republican who is breaking with Trump over this legislation. Perry believes the legislation needs to be revised to better align with the movement.

Growing Opposition

Musk has taken much of the flak for his opposition to this bill. However, it seems he may have had the nerve to say the quiet part out loud, though it's true he did so on his way out of his official government position.

The Tesla billionaire made his parting shot on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. "I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," Musk posted.

"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk added.

Most conservatives agree that the problem with the bill is related to the massive spending increase and costly tax cuts. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill slashes taxes by $3.7 trillion and raises the national debt by $2.4 trillion over 10 years. The latest figures show that the deficit is already at $36,215,207,426,690.65 as of Wednesday and will likely continue to balloon.

Greene's Objections

While many oppose the fiscal irresponsibility of the bill, Greene is focused on a provision that prohibits states from regulating artificial intelligence for a full 10 years. Greene voted in favor of the bill just two weeks ago, but now claims she was unaware of this key provision.

"Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this, and it is a violation of state rights, and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there," she claimed on X.

"We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years, and giving it free rein and tying states' hands is potentially dangerous. This needs to be stripped out in the Senate," Greene continued.

"When the OBBB comes back to the House for approval after Senate changes, I will not vote for it with this in it," Greene said of the legislation. This marks a significant shift in stance, just as opposition to Trump's bill begins to gain momentum in the GOP.

Although in-fighting brings out the worst in some people, it's not necessarily a bad thing that Trump faces opposition from his loyalists. The president is more likely to be responsive to friends rather than foes, and passing legislation that is good for the country is the ultimate goal.

A stampede outside the Chinnaswamy Stadium in India killed at least 11 and injured dozens more on Wednesday, People reported. More than 200,000 revelers descended on the stadium to celebrate the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which won its first victory in the Indian Premier League cricket final.

The streets were flooded with more than double the number of people authorities were prepared for around the stadium in the Indian state of Karnataka. "No one expected this crowd," the state's chief minister, Siddaramaiah, said.

The situation turned deadly after some fans attempted to rush the stadium entrance, causing a bottleneck. "There were so many people trying to push through a small gate that the stampede took place," an official noted. This could be seen in photos shared by an Indian news service.

A Senseless Tragedy

Fox Sports Australia reported a witness's account at an area hospital in the aftermath of the event. "I was standing near the entrance, there was a huge crowd and they stamped on me," an injured woman who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

"I was not able to breathe. I fell unconscious," she added. The woman was seated in a wheelchair after an apparent injury related to the stampede.

Siddaramaiah promised a thorough investigation. "I don’t want to defend the incident, the tragedy... our government is not going to play politics on this. This tragedy should not have happened. We are with the victims," Siddaramaiah said.

According to CNN, Siddaramaiah said he was "deeply shocked by the tragic loss of lives," he told the press. "A moment of joy has been eclipsed by sorrow," he added. The team was also "deeply anguished" by the tragedy that unfolded as fans were celebrating their victory.

Devajit Saikia, secretary for the Board of Control for Cricket in India, which governs the IPL, blamed the "popularity" of the sport. "This is a negative side of popularity. People are crazy for their cricketers. The organizers should have planned it better," Saikia claimed.

Troubling Trend

This latest stampede is part of what may be a troubling trend in India. On January 29, a similar crowd rush killed more than 30 people during the nation's largest religious gathering, Reuters reported.

Just as with the cricket crowd, there were too many people gathered in the space, resulting in chaos. The Hindu festival had seen nearly 200 million visitors in the first two weeks as the festival came to a crescendo on the day of the stampede.

Some tens of millions attempted to take a "holy dip" in the water in the city of Prayagraj, where the sacred rivers meet. Witnesses said that some of the routes were blocked by police, boxing in the crowd as people collapsed from suffocation, while the crowd pushed from behind.

The problem is partly to blame on local officials, but it could be just the sheer number of people in one place. As the Associated Press reported, India became the most densely populated nation in the world in 2023 after surpassing China.

These kinds of tragedies are the worst because they are, in some ways, the most preventable. Local officials need to be vigilant about such large gatherings so nobody loses his or her life during times of joy.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to review the names of several ships honoring gay rights icon Harvey Milk, Harriet Tubman, and liberal Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In the name of “reestablishing the warrior culture” of the U.S. armed forces, the Trump administration is working to reorient the military around lethality and warfighting, not honouring political figures and activists beloved by leftists.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell issued a statement explaining, "Secretary Hegseth is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all [Department of Defense] installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief’s priorities, our nation’s history, and the warrior ethos."

Names of military installations, ships, and equipment are typically reserved to honour the nation's history and figures who have demonstrated incredible valor in service of the nation.

Non-partisan Military

While figures like Milk, Tubman, and Ginsburg are no doubt part of American history, their names are highlighted for explicitly political reasons outside of honoring America's warfighting prowess.

Hegseth's team is expected to review certain names, but so far, there are no confirmed actions aside from plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a replenishment oiler, by the end of June, coinciding with the end of gay pride month.

That move appears to be deliberate, as Hegseth is actively taking shots at the gay pride movement that enjoyed total acceptance under the Biden administration.

In fact, the USNS Harvey Milk was given that name by the Biden administration in 2021, demonstrating the past administration's desire to highlight figures important to leftist movements.

Inconsistencies

The move to rename ships named after leftist heroes has predictably ignited outrage among Democrats. These same Democrats would likely protest naming a ship after the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, but such inconcistencies are to be expected.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) blasted the move saying it was “spiteful” in a statement on Tuesday, arguing that it “does not strengthen our national security or the ‘warrior’ ethos."

What Pelosi, a career politician, knows about "warrior" ethos is unknown, but her claim that the move is "spiteful" ignores the fact that the Trump administration has a duty to keep the military non-partisan, and honouring leftist icons runs counter to that mission.

Make America Great Again

Leftist partisanship is one of the greatest threats to the cohesion of the U.S. armed forces. Under the Biden administration, divisive DEI principles were pushed, and conservative individuals, including Hegseth himself, were punished.

Hegseth was labeled an "insider threat" and understands that the MAGA agenda in the armed forces requires the purging of divisive leftist ideas. That starts with tearing down their icons, just as Democrats have done for the past decade.

While some Americans may see reason in honouring certain figures like Harvey Milk, the Trump administration is determined to send a message that the left's dominance in the culture war is at an end.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was once considered to be a quirky but rising star within the Democratic Party who had real prospects to be a leader -- at least so long as he generally adhered to the party's narratives and progressive agenda.

Now, the editorial board of the premier legacy media newspaper in Pennsylvania is demanding that the senator take his job "seriously" or "step away" from it entirely, The Guardian reported.

That ultimatum from the media coincides with multiple recent hit pieces that question his mental health status and dedication to his duties, which are little more than thinly veiled attacks against Fetterman over his newfound independent streak and willingness to buck the party's narratives and agenda on certain issues.

Fetterman under attack from the left, again

On Sunday, The Philadelphia Inquirer's Editorial Board published a scathing rebuke of Sen. Fetterman over allegations that he is "less interested" in doing the job he was elected to do than he is in enjoying the many benefits that come along with it.

"He has missed more votes than nearly every other senator in the past two years. He regularly skips committee hearings, cancels meetings, avoids the daily caucus lunches with colleagues, and rarely goes on the Senate floor," the outlet asserted, along with complaints that Fetterman refuses to hold town hall events with constituents to avoid being heckled.

The Board further noted the high rate of staff turnover in the senator's office, as well as the largely anonymously sourced allegations of concerns from current and former aides about his physical and mental health, about how "disengaged" he is at times, and how he is often absent or spends abnormal amounts of time alone, among other things.

Time for Fetterman to get serious or go away, newspaper says

"Being an elected official comes with public scrutiny. If Fetterman can’t handle the attention or perform his job, then in the best interest of the country and the nearly 13 million residents of Pennsylvania he represents, he should step aside," the Inquirer's Editorial Board asserted. "After all, being an elected representative is a privilege, not an entitlement. Being a U.S. senator is a serious job that requires full-time engagement."

The Board proceeded to chastise the senator for his behavior and excuses for his absences, including wanting to spend more time with his children and ailing father, and snarkily listed off many of the benefits he enjoys as a senator that most Pennsylvanians will never get to experience.

The Editors eventually let the mask slip and revealed the real underlying reason for this and other recent media attacks on Fetterman -- his openness to working with President Donald Trump and Republicans on areas of agreement and his unabashed support for Israel versus Hamas in Palestinian-occupied Gaza.

"It’s time for Fetterman to serve Pennsylvanians, or step away," the piece ultimately concluded.

"I’m here. I’m doing that job."

The Guardian reported that Sen. Fetterman, in a Fox News-hosted bipartisan discussion and debate with colleague Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA), pushed back against the allegations against him and said, "For me, it’s very clear, it’s just part of like this weird -- this weird smear. The more kinds of, left kind of media continues to have these kinds of an attack, and it’s just part of a smear, and that’s just not -- it’s just not accurate."

"I’m here. I’m doing that job. For me, if I miss some of those quotes -- I mean some of those votes -- I’ve made 90 percent of them and, and we all know those votes that I’ve missed were on Monday; those are travel days, and I have three young kids, and I -- those are throwaway procedural votes," he added, according to Politico. "That’s a choice that I made, and if you want to attack me for that, go ahead."

Politico observed that Fetterman also claimed that, when it comes to missed votes, his leftist colleagues Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Patty Murray (D-WA) had worse attendance records than him, but per GovTrack's statistics, that simply isn't the case.

Over the course of their decades-long careers, Sanders and Murray have missed votes approximately 13.4% and 2.6%, respectively -- the lifetime median for all senators is 2.9% -- while Fetterman's absentee rate is marked at 18.1%.

President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) arrested a 16-year-old illegal immigrant from Columbia last week, who was convicted of killing a 24-year-old Colorado woman while speeding in July 2024 but was let off with no jail time by Colorado's Democrat Attorney General.

ICE agents in Colorado arrested the teen, whose name was not given, and expect to deport him after a hearing.

The teen was offered a plea deal and given two years probation and 100 hours of community service despite an initial charge of vehicular manslaughter.

He admitted guilt in killing Kaitlin Weaver as she drove home from work, crashing into her while driving 90 miles per hour when the speed limit was 45 miles per hour.

"Arrest and removal"

“For the [Arapahoe County District Attorney’s Office] justice is no jail time and probation for this criminal alien who killed a young woman while driving more than 90 mph,” ICE officials wrote on X. “For ICE, justice is arrest and removal. A 16-year-old citizen of Colombia, with a conviction for reckless driving resulting in death was arrested by ICE Denver officers last week and will remain in ICE custody pending an immigration hearing.”

News of the arrest was greeted with approval by Weaver's family, including dad John Weaver, who were outraged by the lenient sentence the teen migrant received.

“Immigration and the criminal justice system and all these things landed together one day in Aurora and now I sit here today without a daughter,” Weaver previously said.

The reversal

“I appreciate ICE taking enforcement action, and I really appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone,” John Weaver told Fox News Digital after the arrest.

According to Breitbart, the Weavers were told that their daughter's killer would not qualify for a plea deal in the case.

Months later, however, he was offered the sweetheart deal.

Weaver lamented the reversal at the time and said if the case had involved a firearm, it would have been prosecuted differently.

“Why the change? If he had taken a firearm and recklessly just shot it and killed someone, this would be a different case. They would be pushing it completely differently,” John Weaver previously said. “There’s no deterrence.”

But that was before Trump took office and the official posture toward migrants who commit crimes changed. Now, justice will be done.

The Trump administration has made no secret of its plans to pursue and deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes in the United States, and judging by an announcement on Friday from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that promise is being kept.

As Breitbart reports, an illegal alien from Colombia, convicted in the 2024 death of Kaitlyn Weaver in Colorado, is now in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials and will be deported, another win for DHS and Secretary Kristi Noem.

Tragic case, revisited

It was last July in Arapahoe County, Colorado, that 24-year-old Weaver was making her way home from work when her vehicle was struck by a teen driver who was reportedly traveling at 90-mph in a 45-mph zone.

Weaver had stopped her car at a stop sign when the other driver -- unnamed due to age shield laws -- slammed into her while racing a Jeep in a residential neighborhood, as Fox News noted.

Suffering from catastrophic injuries, Weaver remained on life support for two days before donating her organs.

In the aftermath of the crash, the illegal immigrant, an unlicensed Colombian teen, was arrested and was initially charged with vehicular homicide, with Weaver's grieving family receiving assurances that the case would be treated as a “no plea offer” scenario.

However, the shock and outrage of Weaver's family and the broader community, Democrat District Attorney Amy Padden offered the driver a lenient plea agreement involving a mere two years of probation and 100 hours of community service.

ICE takes action

At the time of the plea agreement, John Weaver, the victim's father, lamented not just the district attorney's decision to opt for leniency, but also the Biden administration's open-border policies, but amid news of the perpetrator's arrest, at least some measure of justice may finally be served.

According to the Friday announcement from ICE the driver who killed Weaver was arrested, along with members of his family, was arrested and is now in federal custody.

ICE officials made the news public in a post on X, blasting the prior outcome in Weaver case, declaring that for the local district attorney in Arapahoe County, “justice is no jail time and probation for this criminal alien who killed a young woman while driving more than 90 mph.”

Marking a sharp contrast in approach, the post continued, “For ICE, justice is arrest and removal.”

The agency went on to state that the individual is slated to remain in ICE custody until an immigration hearing can be held, with President Donald Trump taking to Truth Social to declare that the offender and his family will be deported, as CBS News noted.

Small measure of justice

Grieving dad John Weaver told Fox News Digital that he was made aware of the impending action from ICE against his daughter's killer, and he was quick to express his gratitude.

“I appreciate ICE taking enforcement action, and I really appreciate the outpouring of support from everyone,” Weaver said, though there is no remedy -- legal or otherwise -- that can ever erase the pain resulting from the needless, utterly avoidable loss of his daughter.

The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s policy abolishing an immigration parole program for migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, The New York Post reported. The decision means more than 530,000 migrants could be deported.

Then-President Joe Biden implemented the program as a form of "humanitarian parole" for migrants from those nations ruled by authoritarian leaders. It allowed the migrants to stay and bring their immediate families for up to two years.

President Donald Trump targeted this program as part of his overall crackdown on immigration. The abolition of the program was initially blocked in a ruling by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani.

The judge, appointed by President Barack Obama, decided that deportations should not be a blanket issue but rather be decided on an individual basis. However, the high court overturned that decision Friday.

Supreme Court Case

Seven of the nine justices decided in Trump's favor, with just the left-leaning Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissenting. "The Court has plainly botched this assessment today," Jackson asserted in her dissenting opinion.

"It requires next to nothing from the Government with respect to irreparable harm. Even if the Government is likely to win on the merits, in our legal system, success takes time and the stay standards require more than anticipated victory," Jackson contended.

Jackson further claimed that the individuals involved would be subject to "irreparable harm," including dangerous conditions in their countries of origin and family separation. She lamented that the only other option is to stay and face "arrest and detention" by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

However, Biden's plan to import hundreds of thousands of migrants under the program is to blame for the conundrum these people now face. Trump is left to fix the problem, and the president was grateful that the high court was behind him in this.

"We had a great decision from the Supreme Court, thank goodness. That was very important," Trump said following the ruling.

Blame Game

Democrats are wringing their hands over a supposed humanitarian crisis this ruling is sure to create. However, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller explained that this was righting a wrong committed by Trump's predecessor.

"They have to be deported. You can't have a situation where the Biden administration can fly in half a million illegal aliens in the last 24 months and we're having a conversation about, ‘Oh, maybe they should get to stay for life,'" Miller said Friday.

“They've been here for 24 months. They were flown into our country illegally. The good news is the airplanes travel in two directions," Miller added. The clip was shared on X, formerly Twitter, by conservative commentator Benny Johnson.

The Biden administration purposely flooded the U.S. with migrants over the last four years. Democrats claim Trump is the one who is to blame for the aftermath as he works to undo that agenda piece by piece.

President Donald Trump's administration has rescinded Moderna's $766 million bird flu vaccine grant over concerns about safety and efficacy, the UK Daily Mail reported. This comes as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. no longer recommends the COVID-19 vaccine for pregnant women and children. 

In July 2024, Moderna received the first $176 million for the vaccine, with the remainder due in January, before Biden's departure from office. However, the HHS has withdrawn the funding as Kennedy explores longstanding concerns about the novel vaccine technology.

The grant was awarded under the administration of then-President Joe Biden. The government promised to fund its development and eventual purchase of the jab for the H5N1 bird flu, which has so far sickened 70 people and killed one.

Some experts see this virus as a new pandemic threat "unfolding in slow motion." Despite its name, the virus has been found in cattle and pigs and could become an increasing threat to humans.

Vaccine Problems

Just this week, Moderna touted its findings in an initial study of the bird flu vaccine, involving around 300 people aged 18 and above in good health, The Washington Post reported. The company has pledged to continue developing the vaccine even with the shortfall.

"These clinical data in pandemic influenza underscore the critical role mRNA technology has played as a countermeasure to emerging health threats," Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel said in a statement. HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon disagreed after a "rigorous review" of the vaccine.

"This is not simply about efficacy — it’s about safety, integrity, and trust. The reality is that mRNA technology remains under-tested, and we are not going to spend taxpayer dollars repeating the mistakes of the last administration, which concealed legitimate safety concerns from the public," Nixon said.

This more cautious approach tracks with RFK Jr.'s renewed scrutiny of the technology and is a positive development for his supporters. "This is great news. RFK Jr. Cancelled $766 million award for Moderna mRNA vaccines. This is what I voted for," a user posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.

COVID-19 Vaccines

According to Fox News, Kennedy announced Tuesday that the HHS would no longer recommend the coronavirus jabs for pregnant women and children. "Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data to support the repeat booster strategy in children," Kennedy said in a video.

"That ends today — it's common sense and it's good science," said NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, who appeared in the video along with FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and Kennedy. Makary added that other countries have stopped recommending it for healthy children, as there's no evidence that it's even necessary.

"We're now one step closer to realizing President Trump's promise to make America healthy again," Kennedy said. This admission serves as vindication to Americans who voted for Trump because of this issue and Kennedy's promise.

It makes sense that the bird flu jab would face similar scrutiny, given Kennedy's role at HHS, especially considering the narrative being pushed for it. Just as the claims about COVID-19 were arguably overblown, the same may be true for this newest panic.

Kennedy's vaccine hesitancy was once a highly controversial position. Now with the Make America Healthy Again movement, Kennedy is addressing growing concerns over the new mRNA technology.

A new watchdog report found that then-President Joe Biden may have been unaware of the details of at least eight environmental executive orders signed by autopen, Breitbart reported. This is significant given recent revelations about Biden's apparent cognitive impairment while in office. 

The nonprofit Power the Future found "no evidence" that Biden was aware of the details of what was signed. Daniel Turner, the organization's founder and energy expert, said it was "troubling," considering most of Biden's actions were signed using an autopen.

Biden used this device to sign many of his documents in the waning days of his administration, a process which could presumably used by anyone. Turner believes this is a potential scandal, given the types of documents signed in this manner.

"These are not obscure bureaucratic memos; these were foundational shifts in American energy policy, yet not once did Joe Biden speak about them publicly," Turner noted. Because of the findings in the report, Turner sent a letter to the House and Senate Oversight Committees and several pertinent agencies.

Call to Action

Letters were sent to the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Justice, and others demanding an investigation. The letter to Republican House Oversight Chair James Comer makes the case that Congress needs to get involved.

The letter asserts there is "growing evidence that actions purportedly taken by the former president may not have been approved or signed by him," Power the Future said. Rather, it's possible they were signed by a "small coterie of advisers in his name without his knowledge or over his signature using an ‘autopen,'" the letter said.

"Congress deserves to know how or whether these executive actions were authorized, and whether the former President was aware of such orders before they were implemented by the federal bureaucracy. Were these actions taken on behalf of the president and purporting to execute his authority undertaken with the president’s knowledge and approval?" the letter continues.

"It appears incumbent upon Congress to inquire about all parties involved in these actions, who instructed them to do what, when," the letter urged. A review from the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project found a similar troubling result.

The conservative organization concluded that "every document we could find with Biden’s signature over the course of his presidency" used an autopen signature, except his announcement that he was withdrawing from his reelection bid. "Whoever controlled the autopen controlled the presidency," the Oversight Project said.

Profound Implications

Power the Future's review noted that the eight executive actions "that fundamentally reshaped American energy policy" came with "no evidence" that Biden ever spoke publicly about them. "Not in a press conference. Not in a speech. Not even a video statement," it said.

The policies included the 2022 Defense Production Act Invocation, which pushed for the use of solar panels and heat pumps, utilizing Cold War-era emergency powers.  There were others in 2021, including a sweeping edict to eliminate carbon-producing electricity by 2030 and to switch the federal government over to net-zero emissions by 2050.

Despite the significant impact these and other orders would have, Biden didn't speak of them. This has profound implications considering revelations in Jake Tapper's book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again.

According to Fox News, Tapper admits that the cover-up of Biden's significant cognitive decline was "even worse than Watergate." If Biden was impaired and these orders were signed with an autopen, it calls into question the legality of all of it.

It was obvious that Biden was struggling mentally while Democrats and their media accomplices allegedly coordinated to hide that fact as the autopen continued to make law in the U.S. This is indeed an outrageous scandal for the ages if it's true.

Lara Trump said that CNN anchor Jake Tapper's apology for ignoring the signs of then-President Joe Biden's cognitive impairment is a "bit too late," Fox News reported. The former Republican National Committee chair slammed Tapper for this on Tuesday's The Ingraham Angle on Fox News.

Earlier this month, Tapper released the book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again. In it, he blames the White House for keeping the situation under wraps even though it was obvious to everyone.

To save face, Tapper has thrown out a few mea culpas about his role in the cover-up that led to Biden staying in the race too long before stepping down. Trump doesn't buy it and thinks Tapper took way too long to come clean.

Coming clean

"Jake Tapper saying that this is like a Watergate-level type of situation, now that he played a role in it, it feels a little bit too late to me. I do appreciate that he did keep his word, though, and has come out and said that I was right," Trump told host Laura Ingraham about Tapper's admission.

On Monday's Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tapper acknowledged that the cover-up of Biden's mental decline was "worse" than the Watergate scandal. He also apologized to Trump after a disagreement they had early on about whether Biden was already showing signs of some sort of mental deficit during the 2020 presidential election.

She and Tapper got into a tussle during an episode of State of the Union in October of that year. When Trump brought up Biden's confusion and other issues, Tapper claimed Trump was unfairly judging Biden for his stutter.

"I think you were mocking his stutter," Tapper claimed at the time. "And I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline," he charged.

It only took Tapper five years to get around to apologizing to Trump, as he called her to say he was sorry about two months before the book's release. "Knowing what we know now, and looking back on that interview, which I feel tremendous humility about, she was right, and I was wrong. I did not see, in the moments he was having, I did not see that as cognitive decline," Tapper told Morgan.

Too little too late

Even with the apology, Trump still believes that Tapper can't "discount his role" in perpetuating this scandal for so long. It seems Tapper only had an attack of conscience now that there was nothing to lose by admitting it.

"No matter how much he wants to come out now and say, 'You know what, we're going to start calling the shots like we see them actually now.' It's too late," Trump said.

"You can't do this time and time again to people and continue to lie to people in the way they did and think that you're going to get any different result. It's the reason Donald Trump is in the White House right now," she added.

This issue is more than just political for Lara Trump. As the wife of President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump, she had a front-row seat for the coordinated effort to keep her father-in-law, Donald Trump, out of the White House at all costs.

Tapper is finally doing the right thing now, but he was complicit in the effort to shield the truth from the public when it suited his purpose. What he did is shameful, but the fact that he will make money from a book about it is particularly distasteful.
