Tapper isn’t wrong but CNN has no future with their new alt right edict from Warner.

That's because repubs aren't smart enough to learn from past mistakes. I dare you to try and prove e wrong.

🤬Every. Fucking. Time.

Good for Tapper.

A broken clock is right twice a day. Thanks Jake.

That’s what they voted for. They love the chaos. Anything to own the libs.

Oh, that's gonna cause a lawsuit, lol

Good for Jake (but it's a little late at this point).

Holy shit, Tapper calling out a magat to his face. Who would have thought this possible from cnn? Is too late though…

youtu.be/NYzHugDBvIk?...

"Democrats won't pass any bills!" The bill: Pay for half of a child's lunch and sacrifice a puppy for the protein portion, which is not covered anyway.

good start jake. not enough for me to watch the news tho.

Good to hear. Wasn’t aired in my market

It was wonderful to hear Jake Tapper tell Rep. Lawler the honest truth: Republicans can't govern.

Probably should've hammered this point, I don't know, during and before the election? Back when Biden was too old and Kamala laughed too much and Tim Walz lied about which day he rented Breakfast Club while visiting China in the 80s, and that was the most egregious and unforgivable lie ever told.

This election proves that the corporate media has failed. The Democratic Party has to evolve. The left wing online media ecosystem also has to evolve. It has exposed a lot of failures across the board to right wing over simplistic populism.

Say it louder for the Americans who have been in a coma for the past 20 years

Answer the question instead of lying.

That's the question I've been asking.

They don't want to govern. They want to control.

Glad to see Jake Tapper giving them some shit.

Tapper barely finding this out after helping them win? GTFOH! Total F hack!

If only Jake had acted like this all year. Too late and far too little Jake. Bye boy.

That’s a fact

It’s important to remind people that Republicans *always* make promises they do not keep. From just two years ago, in the minority but about to become the majority 👇

Jake has very few fucks left to give since the election and I'm here for it.

He’s not wrong

This was awesome. I was listening to CNN on Sirius and almost did a 360 on the hiway in jubilation!

Jake!?!?! Preach, Baby!!!

When your #1 policy is “tax cut” then your #1 priority is setting up for that and it’s always going to end up economically worse for the majority - look at which party has what economic record. Rep know “trickle down” is simply pissing on the majority.

These jackasses can’t get anything done. What are they paid for???

One would think Congresspeople would at least have the decency to read the Constitution before deciding that’s the job they want to go for. Then again, some of them clearly have the reading comprehension of a potato.

Amen, brother!

They need to call out their bullshit every single time.

Jake finally grows a spine? Isn't that Special?

Hahah, republicans are inept and unfit Every damn day

It's by design not accident

Usually the gop trots out comer when some lackey needs to absorb this level of humiliation.

lol @cnn.com

Well…finally!

Lawler is a mouthpiece for MAGA and Trump. He does nothing but blame Biden and the Senate Democrats for all their failure in Congress.😏

Passing bills that they know will fail & never become law is the same as not passing a bill. This past session was a complete waste of millions of dollars & countless hours. All they did was shill for trump. They couldn't care less about the people or their oaths.

When exactly did mammals of the genus Mustela, of the family Mustelidae, that is, weasels, acquire the human ability to talk. And not only that — to talk in circles.

He's right but this is s.o.p. for Republicans. They've become nothing but obstructionist and when they get control back they can't break the habit. But these are the fucks that magas think are going to save them lmao and they'll believe it's the dems fault as usual

On tv there is none. The local news and nat news suck. PBS bbc same deal. All the podcasts get there feeds from msm. Print media seems to have folded. Pro publica seems about only real news.

Respectfully, no, you dont

Republicans, keep on pushing the propaganda and lies.

Wow. Whose balls did Tapper steal for this interview?

Go Jake, just let it out, tell the bottom line truth, we need real courage now in the news more than ever!

Jake Tapper, and legacy media are the problem! All through the 2024 campaign they enabled, normalized Donald J. Trump and Republicans, but now that the GOP will be in power they do this. Why? because it helps them sell, and it’s a front to seem unbiased and objective. They are to blame too!

Yes, the republicans pass a bunch of appropriations bills that are full of poison pills - bills they know the senate will NEVER pass! A complete waste of time, but it allows them to say: Oh, we passed all these appropriations bills but the senate didn't 🙄

Republicans may not be able to govern, but they will fight tooth and nail to prevent the Democrats from being able to do so. Even when the stats consistently prove that the Democrats can do it better that they can. "If I can't be the quarterback, I'm going to mess up the next play."

Yep

CNN, and most legacy media, sane-washed the hell out of Trump and his goons over the last few years. This fake spine they grew after the election is pathetic.

Basically, I agree with Jake Tapper 🙂

Yet Jake Tapper helped put them there with his weak both sidesing. Hack.

They’ve made clear that abhor government.

Hey MAGAMike! How many bills passed by the Democratic controlled House languished down the hall when #MoscowMitch was in charge????

Blah blah blah Democrats fault

Jake Dapper 🫡

Jake tells the truth here.

BTW - this MAGA is eyeing a run at Gov NY… youtube.com/shorts/MHqym...

At least he called them out on it.

It's just Tapper being Tapper - this is what he was after all those times he attacked Dems & coddled the felon during the election. Now he has the target he wanted & can pretend he's some hero. Expect more of this preening & posturing until next election when he'll pivot back to attacking Dems.

Mike Lawler. Another big mouth who is suddenly turned a hell of a lot more righty since he got reelected. He may pay a price for that in the next election. I never liked him, but he tried to pass himself off as a moderate. He’s not. He’s a right wing SOB.

Jake let's them talk and sometimes he pushes back, but he doesn't do it enough for me to applaud him on this 59 seconds of the interview

Might have been nice for Tapper to remind people of that BEFORE the election.

Speaking of courage: bsky.app/profile/allo...

In fact, the purposefully choose not to govern. No policy, no respect to the constitution, no respect the American people

🖕to northern Westchester for re-electing Mike Lawler

If he manages to get quoted by The Washington Post, he should be OK. It's the clearinghouse for acceptable journalism (the one prerequisite, a huge yellow streak).

You go, Jake Tapper.

Great. He couldn't have been this confrontational during the debate? He and Dana Bash shouldn't even still have jobs.

Not can't WON'T govern cuz they don't want to govern Chaos is their thing NOT governing

What we get with a GOP-controlled House: * INDIFFERENCE to the needs of the people * Petty "investigations" * Greed * Gridlock * Endless excuses, incompetence, corruption & chaos What we DON'T get with a GOP-controlled House: * Integrity * Patriotism * Progress * Service * Shame * Sanity Resist!

they don't want to govern... they want to rule.

Tapper is auditioning for a job in the upcoming Reich.

This has been the @GOP’s plan for decades. They don’t want to govern…they want to kill govt. They can’t come right out and say it, so they elect buffoons who have no idea what they are doing to destroy all those “bad” programs through incompetence,until only Defense is left.

Passing bills in the House that have no chance in the Senate is not governing. It's not legislating. It's performance art.

Trumpublican nihilists aren't interested in governing. All they care about is the hostile destruction of the existing order (democracy) and replacing it with authoritarian fascism. As such, they restored a criminal and thug to the White House because who better to be the destroyer of people's hope?

This is why I no longer watch any of these shows. At the conclusion you gain nothing.

Every government shutdown over the last 30 years has been because of Republicans

"Respectfully" says the GOP Sir, I do not think that means what you think it means...

For Jake, this is the equivalent of shucking the gloves before pulling his opponent's jersey over their face...

Democrats CAN govern but they can’t seem to win when we need them to.

Finally, a statement, out loud, calling a thang a thang. Republicans can't govern! We see it, we feel it and damn it, we know it. Democrats have been cleaning up Republicans' debacle of government for decades.

Amen

Dudes trying to flex about 12 bills over 2 fuckin years

Again: Republicans are NOT interested in governing. They are only interested in ruling. They repeatedly do everything in their power to prevent others from governing.

Maybe tell the Dear Member that all appropriations start in the House, not the Senate. But nice try.

DAMN!

Then why did Tapper do so much to help get them elected?

Zero surprise. The next 4 years are going to be one long clown show.

They can't government & they destroy the economy so the rich can get richer.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Lawler laying the blame at Schumer’s feet is weird. Don’t budget bills HAVE to originate in the House? So it’s on them?

If only he'd been telling his viewers that BEFORE THE ELECTION!!!!!

Nail, meet hammer.

Elect a clown, expect a circus 🎪

No interest, no desire, no ability.

Languaged?

👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍⚠️

This was a perfect observation.

Nope. They simply cannot. At all. If it were an 80s sitcom it would be hilarious but as it’s actually real American lives, it’s both pathetic and horrifying.

Because Republicans don't want to govern, that requires compromise and the willingness to work with the opposing party. Republicans want to rule, unchecked and unchallenged.

He’s right.

They can't... they're too worried about the money that several lobbies are lining their pockets with while allowing corporate America to gouge hard-working people of their money. Also trying to change this country into a "Christian nation", which is something the founding fathers NEVER intended.

EVERY FUCKING TIME! And they keep voting them into office!

No lie detected there.💙

Mike Lawler getting pushback on CNN is actually a BFD.

Where was this directness and pointed questioning before the election?

fuck Jake Tapper

Lmao. Lawler is such a bum.

Which is why NYers shouldn’t have sent him and other GOP reps back to the House. Don’t care if they liked him and the others, voting for them kept the incompetent (and generally Trump-tied) GOP in power, whether it be Mike Johnson as Speaker or worse, for example, Musk.

Seriously!

They don’t want to govern. How hard is it to understand that?

I think Tapper's boss gives him a couple mulligans every month to speak the truth without getting his hand slapped.

Deflect. Deny. Delay. Defend.
