Exclusive — Jake Tapper Attempted to Convince GOP’s Sean Parnell to Run in Different District than Against Democrat Conor Lamb
Breitbart ^ | 6 Sep 2020 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 09/06/2020 5:22:19 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

CNN anchor Jake Tapper tried to convince Republican Sean Parnell to run in a different congressional district than in Pennsylvania’s 17th, where he is currently challenging Democrat Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA), sources familiar with Tapper’s actions told Breitbart News.

Parnell, a rising GOP star who spoke at the 2020 Republican National Convention (RNC), served as a U.S. Army Ranger Captain in the so-called “Outlaw Platoon” for 485 days on the Afghan-Pakistan border. Lamb won a special election in 2017, the first year of President Donald Trump’s administration, which eventually paved the way for Democrats to retake the House majority in 2018 in the midterm elections. His seat is one of 30 such districts nationwide where Democrats currently sit but that Trump won in 2016. For the GOP to retake the House majority in November, the Republicans need to flip just a net 17 seats — so this district is critical to Democrats remaining in power. It also will, given the intensity of the race between Lamb and Parnell, likely have an impact on the top of the ticket contest between Trump and Democrat presidential nominee former Vice President Joe Biden.

Tapper presents himself on his show and in public as objective and as someone who is not taking partisan sides but merely reporting facts. This decision on his part to reach out to Parnell — sources familiar with the interactions told Breitbart News that Tapper communicated his views on how Parnell should not run against Lamb in a variety of communication forms, including in text messages, Twitter direct messages, and in a phone call — could be viewed as political activism.

Couple this with the fact that Lamb and The Atlantic fraudster Greenberg are good friends, would be a huge scandal were they conservatives.

If they are as well off as “their polls” say they are, why should they worry? They are planning another attempt at a coup d’etat,.

Isn’t Sean Parnell already practically a Democrat anyway? I didn’t know he was trying to make a comeback after being governor.

Like former Pennsylvania congriftman Jack Murtha, congriftman Conor Lamb is an EX-marine.

There are very few of those...

99% of Marines no longer in the service are "former Marines".

If you backstab your fellow service members and betray your oath like Murtha and Lamb, you're a POS EX-marine.

Fake Fapper is just an ordinary civvie POS.

More election tampering by the media. Tapper should be indicted for this.

You are wrong about “99% of Marines no longer in the service are “former Marines”.

We are still MARINES AND ALWAYS WILL BE, we just don’t happen to be on active duty at the moment.

To all the PROG/LIB/ANTIFA/BLM/COMMIE/NAZI/DEMOCRAT TRASH out there; it won’t take much more of your crap to make us change our duty status!

You DO agree that Murtha and Lamb are EX-marines, don't you?

(They don't get the capital M for Marine, either...)
