CNN's Tapper Analogizes Trump To Movie Mob Boss
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Can you imagine Jake Tapper, or any leading light of the liberal media, analogizing, say, Barack Obama to a murderous mob boss? Rhetorical question. But on CNN's State of the Union, Tapper did just that regarding President Trump.

Discussing the impending meeting between Trump and Chuck Schumer to discuss the looming government shutdown, Tapper, making a Godfather II analogy, asked Speaker Mike Johnson:

"So at this meeting tomorrow, is President Trump looking to make a deal, or is it going to be like when Michael Corleone met Senator Geary: 'My offer is this— nothing?"

Johnson, a very cool customer, didn't rise to Tapper's nasty bait. Instead, Johnson responded: "We'll have to see."

Of course, if Trump is Corleone, that makes Schumer the utterly corrupt Senator Geary, who was later found in bed with a dead prostitute.

Watch out, Jake, or The Don Father will make you an offer you can’t refuse.

I analogize Tapper to Caesar Flickerman in The Hunger Games.

Just goes to show how out of touch with reality the Left really is, they are so far out that it’s often hilarious and a little dangerous

Any active president following Biden would seem like a “mob boss”.

Its clear the Left, including its media, elected “the autopen” and wanted to keep it. Nothing works like the real powers pulling the levers behind the scenes, with a figure head just to make speeches. Tapper misses that for sure.

I forget which one is Tapper. Is he the one who co-wrote a book about how wrong he was about Joe Buden?

Jake Tapper is a terrible reporter. Terrible. He’s very low IQ. Very low IQ, you know. Ay, yi, yi.

The only thing Chuck Schumer has to discuss is all the spending and extra pork he wants in the bill.

Democrats never cut costs the keep the cash burning fire glowing brighter and higher every time.
