Are we sure this is CNN? Is Jake Tapper going to get fired for doing journalism? These questions are going to haunt the rest of Sunday, because the class he just gave to other reporters – ESPECIALLY at his network – was graduate level.
Yes I’m sure the rest of the show as full of liberal tropes and its fair share of softballs for the left and hardballs for the right, but that does not erase this DEVASTATING destruction of Biden Campaign Communications Director Kate Bedingfield.
I don’t even want to ruin it with quotes above the clip. Just watch this.

“He said what they’re doing is not Constitutional. How is it not constitutional what they’re doing constitutional?”
Boom.
“That is not what the word ‘constitutional’ means. Constitutional doesn’t mean I like it or I don’t like it. It means it’s according to the U.S. Constitution. There’s nothing unconstitutional about what the U.S. Senate is doing.”
POW!
“Again, it’s not unconstitutional. I get that you don’t like it, but it’s not unconstitutional.”
WHAM!
Utterly destroyed. Words mean things, facts don’t care about your feelings, etc. etc. etc. Love it.
OH BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE.
He got back to the question of why Biden won’t answer the question of whether he’s for court packing. Again, it was BRUUUTAL.

The absolute best part is the sign off.
“I think a serious policy question is not a game, and I don’t think it’s Trump’s game, but Kate Bedingfield we always appreciate you coming on the show and answering the questions, or definitely side-stepping them.”
FATALITY!
