REPUBLICANS NOW BRAGGING ABOUT BEING TRUMP BIG LIE PUSHERS

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

In taking a shot at CNN’s Jake Tapper, Republicans are openly boasting that they’re responsible for spreading democracy-defying conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.

The CNN anchor recently took a stand against inviting election deniers on his programs, saying last week that lawmakers who support former President Donald Trump’s Big Lie—referring to the false claim that the election was stolen—are not welcome on his weekday and weekend shows. It’s “not a policy” but “a philosophy,” Tapper said, noting he hasn’t booked such Republicans since the election. Pro-Trump Republicans have since come forward with emails from CNN bookers requesting their presence on Tapper’s shows. Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York—whom the GOP last month voted to replace Liz Cheney as the party’s conference chair—tweeted screenshots, telling Tapper to read and weep:

On Saturday, Politico reported that Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana has received such requests from CNN bookers eight times since the election “including as recently as April,” but that the House GOP whip has declined the invitations. The press secretary for Sen. Josh Hawley, another Republican who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, also chimed in with tweeted screenshots of emails from CNN bookers inviting the Missouri lawmaker onto Tapper’s programs. She claimed the network has done so 18 times since the January 6 insurrection and to “ignore @JakeTapper’s public virtue signaling” because “we have the receipts.”

2. Nothing says "I'm a serious person" more than a tweet containing two laughing emojis.

So sick of these fucking children. How the hell does this idiot keep getting elected?
