Jake Tapper had assistant secretary of Health and Human Services Adm. Brett Giroir on his show on Sunday to talk about Covid testing. Giroir is the testing “czar” for the coronavirus task force.
Tapper started out absolutely KNOWING that testing isn’t being done, not enough, not well enough, and that it’s Trump’s fault, and he was ready to make this government goon answer for that!
And when the government goon actually had an answer, Jake got mad. So he changed the parameters. And when there was still a terrific answer, Jake changed them again. And when that didn’t work he accused Giroir of being afraid of Trump, and said Trump is personally preventing more testing and they’re all too chicken to bring it up.
And when Giroir smacked THAT down it was all “JAKE SMASH”. You have to watch and also the transcript is below, with blow-by-blow.
I’ve never listened to Tapper before. It’s fascinating how he can carry on both sides of the interview on his own, answering his own questions without the need for the guest to say a word.
But surely people that are invited to be interviewed must sometimes have the mistaken impression that they’re supposed to do something other than sit there and get lectured at. I suppose that’s how the Admiral felt. Lesson learned, I hope.
If that is how you own a person, standards must have been lowered. Lame as hell!
Yeah Jake, all you have to do is tell them “D it” and like magic it’s done. That’s how it works with all disease, right? Why didn’t Obama invoke the defense production act to cure cancer if it’s so simple?
i wish he would have said that we test a lot of people and have found a lot of people who have had the virus without being sick... about 98% of people testing positive have no symptoms or are very mild. 98%. so jake, your trying to scare everyone is just hyperbole.
In a 4:57 min. interview Tapper goes on for more than a minute before he lets the man speak, who promptly hands it to him.
Tapper wants more positives to wring out more cases.
You cannot win an argument with a crazy person or a moron. There is no point even trying. You and they do not share the same concept of what is real and what is not.
It would have been better if he had reached through the camera and pummeled Tapper’s smug face.
Does Mark always tell you what to think, or just about politics?
“Resting Jake Face”
Every clip I’ve ever seen of Tapper is the same red herring crap as in this one. The guy is a propagandist and nothing more and he’s a failure at that.
Jake Tapper should learn to code.
Remember this?
“ In late July, the CDC abruptly advised states to stop testing for H1N1 flu, and stopped counting individual cases. The rationale given for the CDC guidance to forego testing and tracking individual cases was: why waste resources testing for H1N1 flu when the government has already confirmed there’s an epidemic?
Some public health officials privately disagreed with the decision to stop testing and counting, telling CBS News that continued tracking of this new and possibly changing virus was important because H1N1 has a different epidemiology, affects younger people more than seasonal flu and has been shown to have a higher case fatality rate than other flu virus strains.
CBS News learned that the decision to stop counting H1N1 flu cases was made so hastily that states weren’t given the opportunity to provide input. Instead, on July 24, the Council for State and Territorial Epidemiologists, CSTE, issued the following notice to state public health officials on behalf of the CDC“
