CNN’s Tapper forced to shut down and fact check GOPer Ron Johnson during Russia conspiracy rant

CNN “State of the Union” host Jake Tapper was forced to cut off Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Sunday morning after the Republican went off on a rant about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

In an interview that grew increasingly, contentious, Johnson tried to implicate former President Barack Obama in a broad conspiracy — what Donald Trump calls “Obamagate” — to destroy the Trump presidency before it even began.
