Yesterday, if you’ll recall, Jake Tapper innocently offered up some friendly advice to all the Trump supporters out there who may want to look for a job at some point in the future:
I truly sympathize with those dealing with losing — it’s not easy — but at a certain point one has to think not only about what’s best for the nation (peaceful transfer of power) but how any future employers might see your character defined during adversity.

2/ I mean, I don’t expect the ride-or-die crew to listen to me, but …
“So, it says here on your resume that you drove a sex offender to testify at Four Seasons Total Landscaping, north of the Tacony-Palmyra bridge…”

He’s just trying to be helpful, guys!
Well anyway, this morning, he’s tweeting about the Trump Accountability Project’s decidedly fascist undertaking, compiling an enemies’ list of anyone “who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration.”
.@kaitlancollins just reported WH staff are starting to look for jobs. Employers considering them should know there are consequences for hiring anyone who helped Trump attack American values. Find out how at the Trump Accountability Project.https://t.co/7z4tDKsSQb

Tapper notes that this doesn’t sound much like the “unity and healing” that are supposed to mark the Dawn of the Age of Biden:
An organized attempt by former Dem officials to blackball from employment anyone who worked for the US government during the Trump administration seems the exact opposite of the calls for unity and healing we’ve heard from President-elect Biden. https://t.co/IICk2fDOck

Click on the link — the manifesto says this applies to “those who took a paycheck from the Trump Administration.” That’s a pretty long list of Americans.

It’s actually an even long list than that:

So, it’s nice of Jake to help bring the Trump Accountability Project’s fascist endeavor to the forefront of the national political discourse.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t mean much coming from the guy whose advice reads as a warmer, fuzzier version of the Trump Accountability Project’s stated goals.
Thanks, Jake.
Refreshing, after what you tweeted yesterday.? https://t.co/kAKgPRJ1l4— Ge?rge Wept (@GeorgeWept) November 10, 2020
