Republican vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance caused a full blown meltdown at CNN over the weekend, frequently triggering longtime network host Jake Tapper into emotional outbursts.
At one point in the interview, Tapper pointed to thoroughly debunked accusations from generals Mark Milley and John Kelly, both of whom have referred to the former president as a “fascist.” Accusations from Milley, who conspired with the Chinese government to “warn” them about Trump, and Kelly, who claimed Trump praised Hitler even though he continued to work for “Hitler” until he was fired, have been refuted by dozens of sources, including senior White House aides.
Still, CNN and other legacy media outlets continue to report on quotes from “anonymous sources” as if they have been verified. When asked about the story by Tapper, as well as anti-Trump statements made by Mike Pence and other establishment Republicans, Vance stated that Trump is a target because he is a threat to perpetual war and the military industrial complex.
“So all those 10 people, including the former vice president, Mike Pence, all of these people are, have this horribly damaged worldview and they’re all just going after Donald Trump because they want to send people into war? That’s what, that’s really your argument?” Tapper asked.
“Absolutely… absolutely, that’s my argument,” Vance replied without hesitation. Unsatisfied with the answer, the CNN host proceeded to start screaming and yelling, refusing to allow Vance to get a word in. “These are not conservative Republicans? All of these people? These aren’t conservative Republicans who are concerned about Donald Trump?” Tapper frantically shouted.
“Ask yourself a basic question about network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop,” Vance said, to which Tapper replied “the FBI was investigating it.
“No, you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as if they were the gospel truth you did it again and again of your of your network would have believed that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin conspired in 2016, now that was totally and preposterously false,” the Republican nominee followed up.
You covered it in a way that gave credence to anonymous sources, accusations. You did it yourself. Your network did it, Jake. But again, can we talk about the issues that Americans care most about?
Oh, I thought it was just a heated discussion. 😂👍. JD rocks!
I must say, it’s amusing seeing the spoiled brat lefties melting down and showing their true colors.
I don't remember any MSM outlet using the word "alleged" even once, when covering that BS made-up "story" that came directly from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Not to mention covering up the Hunter Biden laptop.
What’s peculiar is that guys like Tapper seem to be completely blind to their Democrat Party bias. It’s uncanny.
“Play it cool Jake” - Trump in 2015
They don’t see the bias because they agree with it…
Jeez, J.D. has Tapper by 30 IQ points… MINIMUM.
"I can't spare this man; he fights."
Crapper went over the hill a long time ago.
I wonder if one day he won't give one of them a dressing down by telling them that unless they are able to calm down and behave at least professionally the conversation has ended and it is their choice.
“Forget it, Jake...it’s JD”
h/t “Chinatown”
Pence was in the House for 12 years and a governor who had a reputation as a conservative. Trump thought Pence could help him work with Congress. But Pence is the same as the rest of the Washington insider career do-nothing politicians (both Republican & Democrat). RINO Pence is now intensely anti-Trump. So far, RINO Pence hasn't endorsed kommieLa (as former VP RINO Dick Cheney already has) but I wouldn't put it past him these next two weeks. Clearly, Jake Tapper cluelessly thinks RINOs Dick Cheney & Mike Pence are "true conservatives." Tapper doesn't get it. True conservatives don't want endless international wars and endless U.S. funding of international wars.
Jake Tapper laughing at Vance while he's answering is not a good look for a supposedly "unbiased" reporter. Saw Kaitlan Collins on Colbert a few months ago. As expected, Colbert tried to kiss her ass by saying the following about CNN: "I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is ..." (Entire Colbert audience breaks out into huge laughter.)
Kaitlan Collins: "Is that supposed to be a laugh line?"
Colbert: "It wasn't supposed to be but, uh, I GUESS IT IS." (as Colbert shrugs his shoulders with a smirk)
In other words ... the entire Colbert audience is in on the joke that CNN is "unbiased" ... and from Colbert's own reaction to Kaitlan's question, it's clear that Colbert is also in on the joke, too. Colbert doesn't actually believe anything he says about politics. It's just that Colbert discovered long ago that he could make a ton of money constantly bashing President Trump. Money talks.
Sam was a powerful voice if not personally flawed. Would be a terrific campaign addition—
Anybody got a video link?
My question is... what the hell is that on Tapper’s head?!
As the former master of his domain George Costanza once opined: "Its not a lie if you believe it"
The link in this article is a horrific spam site.
