Part of having any sort of following on Twitter is getting called out if and when you either tweet or retweet something really stupid. It’s just part of it.
Trust this editor, she knows all too well how this works.
So it shouldn’t have surprised Jake Tapper when he was called out for sharing a thread where a woman talked about the Covington Catholic High School ‘war chant.’ Because you know, that’s super helpful right now as people are starting to realize the story is a big nothingburger and the kids are the victims in all of this.
But we digress.
"School war chant." @jaketapper actually RTd this thread. https://t.co/6MbShjAiae

He actually did.
It’s almost as if i share opinions and analyses from folks across the political spectrum, left right and center, so that people might consider views other than their own.

Dude. C’mon. We have given Jake credit on one more than occasion for being the least skewed talking head on CNN but that’s like saying he’s the most polite cannibal on a deserted island. Think about it.
You do make editorial decisions about what to share, no?
— Mo Mo (@molratty) January 21, 2019
Nah, someone forces him to tweet stuff.
Kidding.
Maybe make a better decision next time.

HA.
“War chant”. Oh brother!

You’re supposed to be in the business of truth, even if it’s inconvenient for all your leftist pals.

But different views and stuff.
It is pretty interesting that the only "right" perspectives you share are negative towards Trump but say whatever makes you feel better Jake

Ha, ha, ha….what a weasel. Get caught red handed in partisan dishonesty and excuse it claiming it's just a little journalistic scholarship.
Good one, Jake….

But “school war chant,” Jake?

Or smirk.
QUICK, CNN, someone else is sneering and smirking! Surely this is some sort of racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamaphobic incident that must be reported about nonstop for clicks and taps, right?!
Remember when we thought 2018 was peak stupid? About that …
