On Thursday afternoon, CNN host Jake Tapper lashed out at a viral 2024 presidential ad that used his voice and those of other cable hosts trashing President Joe Biden after the first presidential debate.
The ad, posted by independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also uses clips of the cable anchors praising Biden — with Biden's name excised — over video clips of Kennedy, thereby implying they are boosting his long-shot candidacy.
On X, formerly Twitter, Tapper wrote, "This is so misleading and deceptive it should be taken down at once. The quotes are falsely clipped together."

Voices used on the clip, besides Tapper, include his "State of the Union" co-host Dana Bash, CNN evening host Anderson Cooper, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, and Fox News host Harris Faulkner.
Over footage of Kennedy Jr. Cooper is heard stating, "Sources are saying Democrats are starting to rally around who they believe might be their only legitimate chance of beating Donald Trump."
