Jake Tapper isn't having it

Wasn't it just a day or two ago that jaydee couldn't draw a crowd at the Turning Point USA "rally' and Erika canceled because of threats? And everyone was saying that TP was low energy and on its way out?

Well, Jake seems to think it's still a huge thing. He's leading with it on his show, showing the empty stage, the whole nine yards. He seems to think viewers of CNN will be enticed to hang on until trump appears in hopes of hearing his pearls of wisdom.

He actually said "What will he say?" I know my answer. Who cares? That was before I changed the channel.

and it is all lies and stupidity, of couse, including this gem: he claimed that the Dems clapped at everything he said during his State of the Union speech. He's in la-la land.

That's OK. I'm not having Jake Tapper, for that matter. Nor will I ever. He's an unprincipled hack.

empty podium, INSTEAD OF going to Hilary who was giving a major speech at the time. And people wonder why we say the mainstream media is pro Trump.
