Virginia Golf Club Dinner Draws Fire From Liberal Media
CNN anchor Jake Tapper took a swing at House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) during Sunday’s episode of State of the Union, zeroing in on a private dinner hosted by President Donald J. Trump. The event, held Thursday at Trump National Golf Club in Virginia, brought together top investors in the $Trump meme coin—a digital token launched by supporters of the 45th President to expand grassroots funding and promote digital independence from Big Tech and Big Banks.
More than 200 top-tier coin holders reportedly attended, enjoying rare face time with President Trump himself. While supporters hailed the event as a creative way to engage the base and fund the movement, mainstream media outlets—predictably—cried foul.
Jake Tapper Suggests Double Standard—But Johnson Doesn’t Bite
Tapper accused Johnson of hypocrisy, saying, “If a Democrat president had done this, you’d be outraged.”
Speaker Johnson, however, wasn’t interested in playing CNN’s game.
“I was a little busy this past week,” Johnson replied. “I was working around the clock to help pass President Trump’s reconciliation package and secure wins for the American people. I haven’t even heard the details about this dinner.”
Biden Family Corruption vs. Trump’s Transparency
Tapper then tried to equate Trump’s openly publicized dinner with the ongoing controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s alleged $5 million payday from a Ukrainian energy firm—an arrangement many believe was a textbook case of influence peddling under the Obama-Biden administration.
But Johnson stood his ground.
“There’s a big difference,” Johnson explained. “The Biden family used shell companies, fake LLCs, and secretive bank accounts. Hunter Biden, with his well-documented history of addiction and corruption, was profiting off the family name—while Joe Biden denied any involvement, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.”
“President Trump, by contrast, does everything out in the open. There are no hidden deals, no fake businesses. He’s not enriching himself with foreign money—he’s meeting with American supporters, plain and simple.”
Is the Real Story the Media’s Bias?
Tapper tried once more to press the issue, asking, “Shouldn’t the public know who attended the dinner?”
Johnson responded bluntly: “I don’t know who attended. But I do know this—President Trump has been the most transparent president in modern history. He’s not hiding in the basement. He’s out there fighting for America.”
What This Means for Conservative Voters in 2025
While legacy outlets like CNN and The Wall Street Journal focus on manufactured outrage, real Americans see the truth. Trump’s digital fundraising efforts offer an innovative alternative to the D.C. donor machine—and they’re doing it in plain sight. Meanwhile, the Biden family’s shady business dealings continue to raise serious ethical and legal concerns.
Bottom Line:
This isn’t about a dinner. It’s about power, transparency, and the American people’s right to choose leaders who don’t hide behind fake shell companies or media spin.
