Jake Tapper Shuts Off Stephen Miller for Being “Obsequious” to Trump
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/07/2018 7:14:25 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On his CNN show this morning, Jake Tapper prematurely ended his contentious interview of senior Trump advisor Stephen Miller, in the course of which Miller repeatedly criticized CNN's biased coverage of President Trump.

Abruptly ending the interview, Tapper:

“There’s one viewer that you care about right now, and you’re being obsequious, you’re being a factotum in order to please him, okay? And I think I’ve wasted enough of my viewers’ time. Thank you, Stephen.”

Rush Limbaugh used to mildly praise Jack Tapper as being relatively fair and honest.

LOL: Jake got CNN bonus points for “obsequious” and “factotum.”


Tapper was fed those lines thru his earpiece. He’s just a puppet.

"What, did Tapper study the dictionary last night?"

Indubitably.

From the fake news network who majored in obsequiousness to the likes of Hillary and zer0bama.

I would laugh if it wasn’t so criminally anti-American.

I’m noticing a number of people picking up on that.

Perhaps it will become the big story emerging from the interview:

“Tapper breaks out his best SAT words for Miller interview!” ;-)

Sounds like he had that $3 word in his holster before the interview began. Can’t take the heat Tapdancer?

Typical leftist. If you’re losing the argument, cut to commercial.

Sure seems like the globalist elitist progressive uniparty senses the wheels are coming off the bus - they’ve lost all control at influencing opinion - cnn is porn for progressive obsessives.

It did seem to stick out like a sore thumb.

And even if “obsequious” is not overly arcane, “factotum” sounded like sheer showing off.

Tapper has lost whatever credibility he might have had.

Just a member of the Ministry of Leftwing Propaganda.

So does Tapper get the award tomorrow night? Or....

When the "Big Ugly" goes down ( go over the CTH and read ) does the press get rolled into the Russian Dossier story and did they help pay for it or promote it.

They will loose all credibility then, they have already done so with us.

That will be a grab the popcorn moment.

I tend to agree with Tapper. Miller was wasting CNN’s viewers time. Other than people trapped in airports and such, the viewers left that tune into CNN are severely afflicted TDS patients.
