Jake Tapper Rips Into Trump for Ignoring Russian Bounties Story

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

On Sunday, CNN’s Jake Tapper called out the president and scolded those in the media who’ve recently interviewed Trump while ignoring the explosive story that Russia was offering bounty payments to the Taliban for killing American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Tapper began his editorial by playing video clips of some of Trump’s nonsensical ramblings during his recent spurt of interviews with several Fox News hosts.

“President Trump has been talking quite a bit about many different topics this last week, curiously bragging about passing a test to determine whether he has dementia,” the host said while showing a clip of Trump’s now-infamous “person, woman, man, camera, TV” moment.

Tapper also accused Trump of “lying once again about how he was booed at a charity event in 2015, an event he has not attended since 2011,” while playing a clip of the president telling the fabricated story he often repeats.

1. There's are reasons Trump only appears on Trump-friendly media outlets and this is one.

Although Wallace could have brought it up, unless he was told it was off-limits.

2. Trump ignores the Russian bounties -- and pushes for Russian readmittance to the G7

3. Outright. Ignoring it.

"The intel was insufficient. Next question."

The fact that this one is just sliding by burns me to the core.
