Tapper said, “I’ve already apologized to her. I called her months ago.” He added that he thinks the conversation went well and that Trump said she’d never mock anyone’s stutter.
He added, “The first time I saw the coverage of Lara Trump’s comments, which were interpreted as her mocking Joe Biden’s stutter, was in January 2020. I read it in conservative media, I read it in the Daily Mail, and that’s where I saw that her comments were being interpreted that way. After those comments were publicized, it got a lot of coverage and Sully Sullenberger wrote an op-ed in The New York Times criticizing her about this. So, that’s the context for that, that I was following up on a story that had been out there months before. This is also in the context of October 2020, a very intense time, people on the Biden side are saying crazy things about Trump, people on the Trump side are saying crazy things about Biden, including Don Jr. suggesting that Joe Biden is a pedophile. So, that is the larger context. But, as I said, her comments have aged well, my comments have aged poorly. I own that.”
Here is a video of the interview from 2020.
