Leaked Text Shows CNN's Jake Tapper Trying to Talk Republican Out of Running for Office

Linkedin Share

There was a time, albeit brief, that CNN’s Jake Tapper was better than the vast majority of his liberal peers at CNN. He would at least attempt to play things down the middle.

Those days are, and have been, long over for JT.

He has been exposed.

From Fox News:

EXCLUSIVE: CNN anchor Jake Tapper tried to convince Republican Sean Parnell not to run against incumbent Democrat Rep. Conor Lamb for a Western Pennsylvania House seat, according to a Twitter direct message obtained by Fox News.

Tapper suggested that Parnell, a U.S. Army combat veteran who recently delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention, would be better off running in a safer district for Republicans, according to a source close to, but unaffiliated with, Parnell’s campaign who feels the CNN anchor was unethically participating in political activism.

Fox News obtained a Twitter direct message that Tapper sent Parnell’s @SeanParnellUSA account on Nov. 8, 2019, after he officially declared his candidacy for Pennsylvania’s 17th congressional district against Democrat Rep. Lamb.

LOOK:

While speaking with then-White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Tapper literally said his network made no errors when it came to reporting on alleged Russia collusion.

That’s like Stacey Abrams saying she is the rightfully elected governor of Georgia.

It’s not true.

Why Tapper feels this way is slightly befuddling, but then again, he works for CNN.

Jake Tapper said Sunday that CNN has not gotten “anything” wrong during the course of reporting on Russiagate, even though his network has bungled numerous stories over the past two years.

Tapper noted, “I’m not sure what you’re saying the media got wrong. The media reported the investigation was going on. Other than the people in the media on the left, not on this network, I don’t know anybody that got anything wrong.
