CNN’s Jake Tapper Not Going to Dignify Trump’s Juvenile Post About the Brilliant Kaitlan Collins

CNN anchor Jake Tapper has certainly heard of the Streisand Effect, so as soon as we heard that he wasn't going to dignify President Donald Trump's "juvenile" social media post about the brilliant Kaitlan Collins, we had to check Truth Social and find out what exactly had Tapper so indignant. As we reported on Tuesday, Trump arrived at the United Nations and immediately began clowning on Collins, telling her, "You shouldn't be here. You should not be here covering me! You said you weren't going to cover me!"

This post from Trump is apparently what has Tapper white-knighting for Collins:

“All of the SLEAZEBAGS, like Third Rate ‘Reporter,’ Kaitlan Collins, of Fake News CNN, a truly unhappy person, said they weren’t going to be covering me. Then why were they ranting and raving like Lunatics, in the Press Area, at the United Nations? Why was she there? She’s got a ‘TRUMP’ addiction, and so does CNN and MSDNC. They’re all sick, treasonous, and demented!”

Not going to dignify the president’s juvenile social media post about our brilliant @kaitlancollins except to say she and we are going to keep doing our jobs, which is to ask and cover the questions voters care about — like those about the war in Iran and the economy. 🇺🇸 💪

"Jake Tapper" and "dignity" went out the window when he scolded us for making fun of President Joe Biden's stutter and then, once it was safe, co-authored a book about Biden's cognitive decline and how the White House had fooled them all by explaining that those videos we all saw were "cheap fakes."

You were the tip of spear for the Russia collusion hoax and later you were Fauci’s dinner party buddy when he was telling the world not to have dinner parties.

Have whatever opinion of Trump you like, but spare us the premise that you can “dignify” anything.

Thanks to Elon, no one is buying your bullshit anymore. The compilation to be found on X of the propaganda you’ve spewed is astounding.

Jake. CNN threw a tantrum and publicly stated they wouldn’t cover Trump anymore because he’s so mean. Then they immediately continued to cover Trump.

You don’t get the “storm off” and then come right back and expect nobody to notice.

Remember when Jake used to shut down anyone who dared suggest Biden's mental capacity was questionable, then as soon as Biden was out of office he co-wrote a book where he pretends his brilliant investigative skills exposed the Biden cover-up? Good times.

You have no dignity if you admit you've been fooled by Karine Jean-Pierre.

If I recall correctly, @kaitlancollins used to be a pretty straight forward reporter. But...she was probably bullied into fulfilling the TDS role that CNN promotes in ordert to retain her standing along TDS turds like you. Such a shame for someone with potential.

This editor stands by his claim that there's something in the water cooler at CNN that links everyone there to the CNN hive-mind. Tapper used to be nearly credible.
