Tapper Admits Rebekah Jones Is a Fraud, Fails to Apologize for Elevating Her

On Monday’s The Lead, host Jake Tapper was the first on CNN to admit that former Florida Health Department website operator Rebekah Jones was found to have fabricated her claims that state officials with ties to Republican Governor Ron DeSantis pressured her to manipulate COVID data, according to an investigation by the Health Department’s inspector general. But even with this revelation, Tapper failed to apologize for how he and the “facts first” network helped to elevate the lies and disinformation.
“In our health lead now, ‘insufficient evidence,’ that’s what a new inspector general report says it found in response to Rebekah Jones’ accusations she was asked to falsify COVID data on Florida’s dashboard,” Tapper announced before handing the actual reporting to national correspondent Kristen Holmes; instead of going off on one of his infamous, self-righteous diatribes.
“Explosive claims from a prominent critic of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis were, quote, ‘unsubstantiated’ and ‘unfounded,’ according to an internal state investigation,” Holmes informed viewers.
Adding: “Now, in a 27-page report obtained by CNN and first reported by NBC News, the Florida Department of Health’s Office of the Inspector General says it found insufficient or no evidence to back up most of Jones’ claims, after interviews with over a dozen witnesses.”
Florida Ping!...................
The penalty for this should be death.
Imagine believing a web designer hired to just put data in a pretty chart over the actual scientists who gathered the data.
I bet there are other State health dept with similar stories
Until she went psycho leftist
Today, she's a worn out tool, discarded and forgotten, tossed under the bus. I'm sure that same lickspittle media that cheered her previously will cover her current state of affairs with at least as much enthusiasm as they did before.
It was almost immediately obvious that this woman was fabricating the entire bogus claim, had probable mental health and personality disorder issues, a criminal record and (going out on a limb), substance abuse problems.
But none of that stopped the MSM and establishment Dems from running with the story for weeks. “Getting” DeSantis was the mission, and anything that could create “bad press” for him, and by extension Trump was just too important to check.
It’s going to get spicy in the runup to the midterms, and 2024 should be a real doozy.
