CNN is actually past parody. Host Jake Tapper just lately claimed that Joe Biden has acted on the ‘conservative side of things’ on the border.

Is it conservative to permit 300,000 individuals to illegally cross the border in a month? Who knew?

After these feedback, Jake throws the dialog to a visitor who simply occurs to be a former member of the Biden administration who tries to assert that Republicans are weak on this problem. None of that is grounded in actuality in any respect.

NewsBusters reviews:

On Wednesday’s The Lead, CNN host Jake Tapper questioned Speaker Mike Johnson for eleven minutes on the border, persistently urgent him to compromise with Senate Democrats. After that was over, he turned to political analysts: former Bushie Doug Heye and former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield.

Heye stated Biden’s is aware of he’s in hassle: “They see the same polling that we do, that Biden’s numbers on the border are terrible, and they’re really bad with Hispanics as well, a key demographic that he needs to do very well with.”

What Tapper stated subsequent, to Bedingfield, was mystifying:

TAPPER: I do know that the place of the Biden White Home, which he used to belong to, is that, boy, they’ve carried out extra on the conservative aspect of issues than any Democratic president in current historical past, holding the COVID period guidelines in for so long as they might, of their view. You already know, tightening up asylum legal guidelines to the purpose that they’re being sued, and that is, you already know, with a — with an important Latino base.

Right here’s the video:

In a pundit-reaction section to his interview with Home Speaker Mike Johnson, CNN host Jake Tapper repeats weird declare that Staff Biden’s “done more on the conservative side of [border] things than any Democratic president in recent history.” https://t.co/D3QfxaX8tq pic.twitter.com/VTCXD3vXL3

How does Tapper go on the air and say issues like this with a straight face? And the way do CNN viewers purchase this rubbish?
