This dude going on Fox News to say Biden was worse than Watergate in the middle of trump shredding the constitution. Nobody can possibly be unclear on what he’s doing here.

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

Jake Tapper on Biden: "It is a scandal. It is without question -- and maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways, because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties when he wasn't drinking."

What about the fact that Trump can't remember the last time he was in touch with reality?

youaretraffic.bsky.social•5 days ago

he doesn't know he's not pretty enough for trump to be his press secretary

Tapper is going on Pod Save America in the next week or so and I would politely request he try that line out there and see what kind of reception it gets

figgityfigs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Probably friendly.

I think there’s a difference between “I was a source in this book so I think it’s important to have a conversation like this”

and hosting your umpteenth pod where you recount all the ways the Trump admin has trashed the law, then immediately Jake says to your face “Biden was worse than Watergate”

dmnd.me•5 days ago

I’m just saying if it was me, even with all the baggage, I don’t think I could let that go unchallenged. Calls into question what exactly you’re doing for several hours per week

Juicing sales?

bannedhat.bsky.social•5 days ago

In fairness he went on Piers and Fox just clipped it but yeah.

minimallycrazy.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think he's being really optimistic about the chances of civil conflict, in which a whole lot of our side will now *also* be trying to kill him for clout.

Correctly! This is a guy who will betray anybody for a dollar, those are the people you remove first

wait does he think the problem with Watergate is that Nixon was a drunk

doomervon.bsky.social•5 days ago

Yes.

lordkeynes42.bsky.social•5 days ago

Of all the issues in Watergate....

figgityfigs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Woodward and Bernstein met Deep Throat, Nixon’s liquor supplier.

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•5 days ago

I am genuinely floored by this

hurricanexyz.bsky.social•5 days ago

My man is not doing a particularly good job of living down the "has an irrational fixation on, and grudge against, Joe Biden" allegations

celticdragon1.bsky.social•5 days ago

Beginning to think Hunter Biden really should have beat his ass.

figgityfigs.bsky.social•5 days ago

I don’t see how he could even really reasonably deny it at this point. Like he’s very likely giving ammunition for Trump to try to declare Biden’s pardons invalid or something.

This is really the stupidest of timelines

chessercat.bsky.social•5 days ago

Henry Kissinger telling the military not to trust drunk Nixon’s finger on the button is an irrefutable example of Kissinger doing something good, but idk if it’s THAT important.

doomervon.bsky.social•5 days ago

"I NEED TO TELL MY STORY, BOOK ME ON PIERS MORGAN" -- was uttered as a phrase for the first time ever in scheduling this interview.

bornonagreenlight.bsky.social•5 days ago

This fucking dude thought he’d be feted as a bold truth teller. Looks like things aren’t going the way Jake thought they would.

millardfillmore.bsky.social•5 days ago

More like fetid

Unethical motherfucker went out there and moderated that debate. Such bullshit.

figgityfigs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jesus I had completely forgotten that he was the moderator at THE debate.

artsulselva.bsky.social•5 days ago

I think in this instance he was on Piers Morgan’s YouTube show and Fox just picked up the clip. Not really any better though.

figgityfigs.bsky.social•5 days ago

Fair correction, fair assessment of the correction’s impact.

billypilgrim65.bsky.social•5 days ago

Jake absolutely clearing up any doubts he is a *journalist* whose primary mission is to ratfuck the Dems. And that he’s willing to twisty historical truth into a tissue of lies for dollars. He has the journalism principles of Walter Duranty

petereriksen.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tapper desperately trying to make money with hyperbole. Total sell out and a disgrace to the profession.

cdeblock.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tapper's got a book to sell. That's his only interest.

Comparing Biden to Watergate (or Reagan, or whatever) is meaningless. Nixon could have clung on much longer than he did, but he did care about the country and saw the handwriting on the wall. Trump only cares about Trump, and...

cdeblock.bsky.social•5 days ago

...there are those around him who can use that to further their own ends. THAT'S THE ONLY STORY THAT MATTERS RIGHT NOW.

But Tapper's got a book to sell...

(Oh, and as always, screw Piers Morgan. Just on general principles.)

bunny.bismuth.gay•5 days ago

There's a very simple solution to Tapper but nobody will bell the cat.

fruvous73.bsky.social•5 days ago

READ THE ROOM, JAKE.

danielwbrody.bsky.social•5 days ago

The full Ed Henry

whatthelightcando.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is infuriating. Tapper's not Woodward. Tapper's not even Squidward.

coolranch4lyfe.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s not even squilliam

jmgannon.bsky.social•5 days ago

Tapper should stay right there at Fox "news". He fits right in. The new "Bill Hemmer"!

zwmartin88.bsky.social•5 days ago

Also even if he’s a mental faculties absolutist, the current president is very obviously more demented!

kceric.bsky.social•5 days ago

I guess Tapper was in a coma during Reagan’s last term?

yoclockface.bsky.social•5 days ago

'when he wasn't drinking' These fucks never hear themselves.

axiomat1c.bsky.social•5 days ago

Another crossed off the list of good faith information purveyors. I think it would be really interesting to understand what happened to Jake.

madtownsouthpaw.bsky.social•5 days ago

Let's say Biden was Weekend at Bernies (I doubt it), he governed effectively especially compared to Trump. The media allows R's to govern like morons because it is their image.
