So apparently Jake Tapper had a big interview with DeSantis

today. I know, exciting, huh? And since I don't like Tapper or CNN or DeSantis I wasn't tempted. But apparently, it was really bad from Aaron Rupar's description. Tapper asked DS if tfg should be held accountable, and he went off on some tirade about Alvin Bragg. But here's the really terrible part: absolutely NO pushback from Tapper. But he got his "big" interview.

The cost of insuring a home in FL is out of control. Insurers are leaving the state under his “leadership”. Homeowners are paying an arm and a leg for the insurance inflation in this state. It’s ridiculous.

for Tapper. He's not exactly known for his original thinking. He couldn't even follow up when DS didn't answer his question.

mouth tirade against President Biden during the withdrawal from Afghanistan

It was just criticism of the process, but an unhinged off the script rant against President Biden.

That was the moment went I stopped watching CNN, except for Farad’s program on Sunday

I was a supporter for a long time.

But then not.

Reading constant posts from people who DON'T watch CNN, but somehow caught a specific show is so predictable.

Come on, just watch or not. Own it.

But thanks for the description since you didn't watch it. Lol.

see Aaron Rupar's tweet on it, though.

Here's one Aaron Rupar Retweeted of EmptyWheel's quote on the little mussolini Lying POS.



No Pushback from Tapper?!!

Tapper is also getting roasted on his own twitter page for no pushback. Someone said he made Chuck Todd look like a tough interviewer.

He has shown his true colors over and over.

It is just a game to him.

I stopped watching him long ago.

And of course it goes without saying, Fuck DeSantis.
