CNN’s Tapper Tees Up Dem Guests to Blame Trump for Mass Shootings

There was more shoddy journalism form CNN talking head Jake Tapper during Sunday’s State of the Union as he repeatedly set up his Democratic guests to cast blame on President Trump for two mass shootings on Saturday. He also insinuated the President was a “racist†and “white nationalist†in the exact same vein as the shooter in El Paso, Texas.
Before boosting the liberal talking points against Trump (and pushing Democratic efforts to curtail and/or eliminate the Second Amendment) Tapper lashed out at Republican lawmakers in Ohio and Texas (the locations of the shootings) for not coming on his show to be assailed:
We should note that we invited the Republican governor, lieutenant governor, and both Republican U.S. Senators representing Texas to join us this morning. They all declined. The Republican governor of Ohio also declined. He also asked the White House to provide someone to discuss the shootings, that request too was declined.
