BOOM! Jonathan Turley calls out CNN’s Jake Tapper for promoting insulting tweet about Trump

by The Right Scoop

Yesterday CNN’s Jake Tapper retweeted garbage tweets from George Conway calling Trump ‘100% insane’ and called it ‘noteworthy’:

How in the hell is Conway’s tweet “He’s 100% insane, and nobody in the administration has the balls to tell him that” noteworthy? In what universe it that noteworthy? Just because he knows people in the administration? C’mon. Not only does Conway hate Trump with unbridled passion, but is claiming as an insult that nobody has the balls to tell Trump he’s insane. That’s not noteworthy, that’s the typical TDS drivel that he loves to tweet.

 
Jonathan Turley called out Tapper’s shenanigans this morning, saying “Tapper’s retweeting that “Trump is 100% insane” only further undermines the media by reaffirming for many that the media is campaigning against Trump rather than covering him. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.”

He’s exactly right. There was simply no journalistic reason to retweet that garbage tweet from Conway.

But Tapper was intent on defending himself and tweeted this in response saying, “I RTed Conway, a conservative attorney and Trump critic, because he wrote that no one in the administration has the courage to stand up to the president which seems newsworthy given how many people in the administration he knows.”

Again, there is nothing about this tweet insulting the president that is newsworthy, and it has nothing to do with Conway even knowing people in the administration. Conway is just being an ass on Twitter, like usual. That’s all. Tapper is simply trying to make excuses to defend a tweet he enjoyed and wanted everyone to see. What a joke of a news man Tapper has become.
