We wanted to believe that Jake Tapper was different. We really and truly did.
But he’s made it abundantly clear that he’s just like every other partisan media hack out there: self-righteous and shameless.
Case in point:
That MAGA-allied officials and media are now attempting to pretend the Jan 6 MAGA terrorist attack wasn’t a big deal, that those who were scared aren’t being sincere (or any other whitewashing), was not only predictable it was predicted. Liars lie. It’s what they do. https://t.co/uJ2sMIULLG

“It’s what they do.”
You certainly do.

We’re trying to think of who Jake could be referring to when he says “MAGA-allied officials and media.” Who could he be talking about? He couldn’t possibly mean … no. He’d never stoop that low, would he?
Some people think he would:
Nice of you to subtweet Nancy Mace there, Jake. You should just decide whether she’s someone you like and suck up to or a footsoldier for terrorists https://t.co/iGLiBbz0Fu pic.twitter.com/DGiFvJSpns

Well, Nancy Mace did spend most of yesterday being falsely accused of downplaying the Capitol riots and falsely accused of sliming AOC … so maybe he is talking about Nancy Mace after all.
The person Jake is subtweeting here like a catty Mean Girl is an actual rape survivor, Nancy Mace.
There is no better example of what Jeff Zucker did to supposedly serious news people than turning Jake Tapper into a tabloid grade Keith Olbermann. And he went along with it $$$ https://t.co/e59A8MkTLQ

Of course he went along with it.
Amazing how Jake Tapper has spent weeks sucking up to Nancy Mace and yet, is now subtweeting her like a middle school Mean Girl. He either likes or implies she's a willing member of a terrorist organization known as the GOP.

Being an objective, professional journalist is very unpopular these days, not to mention thoroughly exhausting.
Object lesson.

Mace is a moderate who wanted to censure Trump. She just had the gall to stick to facts. When Republicans get treated this way what’s their incentive to cooperate with Democrats?

See, now that journalist is asking a great question. Jake Tapper could learn from him.

Peak Real News, Mr. President.
This is also pretty great as @jaketapper tweeted 9 times about one single house member today, and zero times over Covid deaths under Joe Biden.
He retweets a guy who said he would grab his musket over a Trump loss. pic.twitter.com/FoHhAXeRy9
