Jake Tapper reveals MAGA firebrand's 'unhinged' act after DC dinner shooting: 'Needs help'

CNN's Jake Tapper scorched Kari Lake, who serves as President Donald Trump's senior advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, during his show on Monday for her actions following the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.

An alleged gunman fired multiple rounds at the Washington Hilton while the press dinner was underway, and was swiftly detained by authorities at the scene. Trump and members of his cabinet, who were in attendance, were on another floor, away from where the shots were fired. A Secret Service agent was struck in their bulletproof vest and survived. No one was killed during the event.

After the event, Trump used the shooting to push Congress to build his new signature ballroom, which is currently under lock-and-key because of a court order. Trump and first lady Melania Trump also attacked late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel for making light of the shooting during his show.

Tapper told his audience that Trump's reaction was expected, but not for a reason that many saw coming.
