Former President Donald Trump responded to on-air comments made by CNNโ€™s Jake Tapper on Tuesday, in which the anchor demanded the network cut footage of Trumpโ€™s event that showed enthusiastic supporters.

During CNNโ€™s broadcast, Tapper asked staffers to cut footage of Trump meeting with supporters in Florida, coming minutes after the former president pleaded not guilty to federal charges connected to a case investigating whether he allegedly mishandled classified documents. Tapper at one point said that he did not want to โ€œsee any more of that,โ€ referring to Trumpโ€™s interactions with supporters at the Versailles Cuban restaurant in Miami.

On social media, Trump reacted swiftly and critically. The former president suggested Tapperโ€™s remarks are a reason why CNN is lagging in ratings.

โ€œFake Tapper just demanded that his broadcast be closed down from Miami because there was far too much enthusiasm on the streets for โ€˜Trump.โ€™ The good news is, he was the only one to do so, perhaps a good explanation as to why CNNโ€™s ratings are so low!โ€ Trump wrote Truth Social, his platform.

Trump supporters were wishing the former president a happy birthday and continued to cheer in the background of CNNโ€™s coverage. Tapper was heard saying: โ€œThe folks in the control room, I donโ€™t need to see any more of that. Heโ€™s trying to turn this into a spectacle, a campaign ad. Thatโ€™s enough of that.โ€

The CNN anchor then stated that Trump was arrested on federal charges connected to his alleged mishandling of classified records relating to national security.

โ€œAnd as we watch Donald Trump attempt to turn his arrest and indictment into some sort of campaign commercial, we need to remember that the reason we are watching this is because Donald Trump is accused of breaking some very serious national security laws and then obstructing and refusing to cooperate with the FBI,โ€ he said.

However, while Trump highlighted Tapperโ€™s on-air comments, left-wing MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace also called on staffers to cut the feed showing Trump at the Miami restaurant. โ€œWe donโ€™t need to see that anymore. We know where he is,โ€ she remarked Tuesday.

Both CNN and MSNBC also did not air the former presidentโ€™s speech on Tuesday night at his Bedminster, New Jersey, residence, according to Tapper and MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, respectively.

โ€œWeโ€™re not carrying his remarks live because, frankly, he says a lot of things that are not true and sometimes potentially dangerous,โ€ Tapper told CNN viewers during his program.
