Everyone piles on after CNN’s Jake Tapper lets Dan Crenshaw walk all over him
As a House Republican, Dan Crenshaw essentially tells lies for a living. CNN has no business putting him on the air, unless it’s specifically to debunk him and correct the record. When Jake Tapper put Crenshaw on the air this morning and did very little to push back against Crenshaw’s lies, it was by default a willful amplification of Crenshaw’s lies – and audiences noticed:
Absolutely nauseating watching Jake Tapper kiss Dan Crenshaw‘s ass, one of the slimiest sleaziest Republican congressman from Texas. Crenshaw saying all they had to do was ask for the documents and Tapper says there’s a lot we don’t know! After DOJ asked for 18 fucking months!

Jake Tapper must really want to keep his cushy gig to let Dan Crenshaw use the “I haven’t seen any evidence” lie on his show without pushing back even an ounce. https://t.co/mZRKawrsym

Jake Tapper is playing patty cakes with Dan Crenshaw letting him spew his bullsh*t rhetoric. Enough is enough. F**k Tapper. F**k CNN

At this point CNN is in freefall. The ongoing decline of Jake Tapper is helping to lead the way. Remember when Tapper used to be good at this? What happened? Now he’s just Chuck Todd with better hair.
