CNN's Jake Tapper, best known as Gov. Gavin Newsom's fly-fishing buddy and gracious dinner host to Anthony Fauci, last fall told Seth Meyers that Jimmy Kimmel's whopping four-day suspension by ABC was "pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime." Here we are a year later, and CNN is going to have to fly commercial if it wants to cover the president's travels, as CNN was kicked off of Air Force One this weekend.
CNN had its White House press passes pulled because President Donald Trump had had enough of the fake news, and Tapper is one of the worst offenders out there. Media bias? Last month, Tapper posted, based on a clip from serial fabulist Aaron Rupar, that there was "zero reason" to believe that Trump was "planning something alarming to disrupt the midterms."
There is zero reason to not take Trump at his word that he and his team are planning sonething alarming to disrupt the midterms and beyond. https://t.co/WzNKfAmkDZ

On Friday, Democrat strategist Mike Nellis posted a clip from The Lead of Tapper reporting that Trump's "outside advisors" were telling him to declare martial law. "There is growing concern among experts about what Trump might do as he continues to push baseless election fraud claims," Tapper kicks off his report. Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill herself recently disclosed that a "software error" had allowed 6,600 noncitizens to register to vote.
CNN reports Trump is so worried about Democrats winning the election that his "outside advisors" are telling him to declare martial law.

You lost me at “CNN Reports”.

.@jaketapper is a certified, documented, congenital liar.
Or, much more likely, it's just some other BS that CNN made up

And we're off.
Atlantic posts a silly story.
All other outlets dutifully regurgitate it.
Stupid people begin hyperventilating.
Ah yes, Tapper's source is an Atlantic story — the same magazine behind the "suckers and losers" hoax.
You know what would be really scary?

If he arrested his political opponent four times because he was losing in the polls and charged him with 83 felonies during an election.
That would be some real banana republic dictator shit.
Big if true. Imagine if he shut down businesses and churches, made it illegal to go outside, enforced social distancing, and then declared emergency rules for the election https://t.co/mVrzsyYrAu

I was believing you up until you said "CNN Reports"

This is irresponsible and false agitprop. You should be ashamed for posting stuff like this. Not just fake news, but evil news. Shame on anyone who believes this absolute shite.
— LDSLawyer (@LDSLaw) September 26, 2026
Only fools believe this shit. Not even the man uttering it believes it. It's meant to scare fools, and you just passed it on as if it were true.

Why would you believe what CNN is saying?
— Santa's Tavern (S0) (@SantasTavern) September 25, 2026
Since when have they been honest about their reporting on Trump, much less on his "outside advisors", however they might define such a group?
Really hoping you pissed yourself over this because it’s so scary. We all need another reason to point and laugh at you.
— EasyV Warchild (@EasyVWarchild) September 26, 2026
LOL…this is made up. No advisors made any such recommendation. Trump might be a lot of things, but stupid isn’t one of those things.
— Charles Anderson (@C_E_Anderson326) September 25, 2026
The sheer insanity going on here is mind-numbing.
— Michael McCroskey (@MikeMcCroskey) September 25, 2026
Media desperation to stay relevant is off the charts.
They will push anything at this point.
Gee, I can’t figure out why Trump would kick CNN out of the White House for reporting complete bullshit propaganda.

Again, CNN's source is The Atlantic? This is like CNN's reporting on sailors jumping overboard from the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln left and right — let a smaller, more partisan (if that's possible) outlet break the story, and then pick it up and run with it as if they'd investigated it themselves.
