We’ve always had a soft spot for Jake Tapper because he seems to have been the very last to have been assimilated by the CNN hive mind that has claimed lesser journalists who’ve moved on to the network — plus, he does a lot for the troops. The comic strip “Dilbert,” usually drawn by Scott Adams, was handed over to Tapper for a guest spot, with the originals to be auctioned off to benefit Homes for Our Troops.
If you also find yourself wondering “Vad har hänt med Dilbert?” this morning, the answer is @ScottAdamsSays asked me to guest draw the strip this week; we’re auctioning off the originals for the Veterans Day @eBay auction to benefit @HomesForOurTrps! https://t.co/wwpvUf2IUW

Uh oh … how could Tapper lower himself to work with pro-Trump Adams?
I like it, but working w/ Scott Adams strikes me as questionable.

You know you can raise money for the troops by not teaming up with people whose publicly stated beliefs are antithetical to the things those very same troops fight for, right?

The cause is admirable. Your choice of partner is highly unfortunate.

Hey Jake I'm really glad you're joining forces with a dude who advocates for Men's Rights. Do you agree with this stance?https://t.co/AsiKhEKZUX

Your misinterpretation of my writing is noted. Has Jezebel ever been right? If any of this circles back to my actual opinions, let me know.

“Has Jezebel ever been right” is a rhetorical question, of course. Tapper received plenty of criticism for teaming up with Adams, but check out John Cook, former executive editor of Gawker Media, who couldn’t think of a bigger insult for Tapper than “Louis Farrakhan policer.”
it is extremely wild to see the louis farrakhan policer teaming up with scott adams, who is basically the louis farrakhan of incel white nationalists, but hey it's for the troops https://t.co/icjFW4jpae

“The Louis Farrakhan of incel white nationalists?”
No wonder your piece of shit Gawker publication got its balls cut off. My lawyers will be contacting you. https://t.co/urM0otUUsn

So Tapper’s in the doghouse for pairing up with Scott Adams to raise money for the troops? And people are triggered?
