Jake Tapper to Katie Britt: "Why would you think somebody who's willing to lie about the election results in Pennsylvania is going to restore integrity in the Justice Department the way that you are calling for?"

Aaron, I appreciate you but showing the minority of times Tapper leans in vs his capitulation only rewards his behavior of sanewashing the indefensible the majority of the time.
BTW - an AG's job is *not* to move any president's agenda forward, but to make sure that the law is administered in a fair and just manner. Seems inimical to the Dotard's agenda.
That used to be true, but we are getting ready for a new day where the Department of Justice is simply a tool to enact the President's revenge as they see fit.
It’s as though the interviewer goes to sleep after each question. No push back no follow-up questions. Just ask questions; sleep; lie, lie, lie to viewers and interviewer. Repeat. What is the actual point of these interviews? Why bother? Let them go lie on Fox!
Wow she's quick...
what a max-control?
It's almost impossible
to pile-up that
amount of "dung,"
in just a matter of
a few minutes???
That's a supreme
control of her colon
& sphincter-muscle
(...her A-🍩); it can
truly be called, w/o a
doubt: a talent!!!💡🤯
Give these idiots no peace. Demand real answers to the questions wherever & whenever the chance. If not the studio, then the press conference; if not the press conference then the corridors of power; if not the corridors of power then the steps of public buildings; if not there, then cafes and bars…
Give her a break. Alabama is one of our stupidest Red States this country has ever produced. She's probably the smartest person they could find to run for Congress in the first place. 😆😆
Deflect and a non answer, Im sick and tired of the gloves off attitude by these people for Trump and his supporters. CBS interview with “Trumper” Jamie Dimon was a bunch of BS today, Working at Chade bank 10 years- he was a loathsome asshat
True they will try,but any journalist worth a damn will ask it again, & again if necessary. Otherwise they are just allowing them to filibuster and pretending to be journalists while acting like cocktail party host just wanting everyone to mingle and have a good time. A total waste of viewers time
They need to reframe the question & for instance ask, what overreach are you concerned about that specifically that u believe a new admin will correct for? And then ask over & over. Play it like Mehdi Hassan does as he debates these types of ppl. He’s more aggressive & doesn’t let ‘em squirm out
Yeah, Mehdi is great! But the challenge for mainstream media is that if they grill their guests to the level that Mehdi does, they will never get any guests on their shows. It’s a slippery slope.
Seeing the way the GOP speak about the media etc I wonder why the media just doesn’t come out and tell these clowns they’re lying especially when they’re lying. Except for WAPO because we know where Bezos’ nose is.
Katie is just another mouth piece. She doesn't represent my interests nor does she answer questions sent to her. You get a form letter not addressing anything. Another stepford wife for Alabamastan. Ughhhh!
Looks like she is enjoying spreading propaganda. The smug smile on her face says it all. People ask: “why would Tapper?”. Because MSM is now willingly helping to roll America into a Republican run Dictatorship. It won’t be long until the GOP realizes Trump isn’t needed.
I watched the interview this a.m., and Katie Britt acts and talks like one of the Stepford wives (from the movie): robotic, cold, unfeeling, and as icky as Nancy Mace (in a different way but just as soul-less). Scarlett Johannsen should continue to mimic her! These GQPers...ho hum.
The GOP Russian handlers are doing a horrible job at training these republican propaganda spreaders. Look at Katie Britt's body language and facial expressions. She is having a hard time selling her talking points to herself.
Politician speak. Avoid the question. Seemingly answer it but don't. Redirect to another body, obfuscate a solid answer with circular talk. Then you hand off the question to people not present and park it for a later date. It's like Les Nessman explaining to Carlson how to answer political questions
When one lies as much as these Republican sycophants will need to during the next four years, it will be more and more difficult for them to keep the lies straight. They will only look more and more craven and foolish. We will enjoy the show.
The only thing unexpected about this predictable song and dance is that a major news media person was willing to use the L word (lying) in front of a camera. Finally! The next step would be to keep asking the question until a real answer is given. That's how journalism can restore respectability.
Some of you may appreciate the pushback, but why even have her on at all? She's not going to be honest. And ask her what happened to that guy she used to date who mysteriously disappeared...
The more she lied the more flushed her face became. All he had to do was calmly ask her "is the question too difficult for you to understand?" She would have blown a gasket. That's what the hosts need to do, put the interviewee on the spot and keep them there.
They gave answers that convinced her they would uphold elections. She did answer the question.
It's a sad answer for a serious question, and she should have been pressed on what made them convincing. Because absolutely no one else is confident in their answers.
Gotta be the remake, right? I got the vibe, but I don't know the image and the original Stepford wives is one of my faves. But regardless, it totally captures the feeling.
I’m about to watch State of the Union. If Scott Jennings returns to “the panel”, I’ll promptly switch to MSNBC. Advice to CNN: get rid of Jennings. He’s a vile human being.
Every time I hear one of these crooks I’m reminded of the scene in Bull Durham where Crash gives Nuke a lesson in how to answer reporter questions. Who is the Crash giving our elected officials their spin lessons? Burn ‘em at the stake!
Stop lowering your standards, Jake. Let her talk to her churches and local channels that spend 25 of their 30 minutes on local high school football stories.
This is why I mostly stopped watching @cnn.com since the election. I’ve watched @jimacosta.bsky.social a few times because he’s the only one that really pushes back, IMO.
Acosta has always seemed reasonable. Tapper's brain lives in an asbestos-riddled Dollar Store retrofitted into Camelot with virtuous variants of the Kennedys, taking copious note to write his next turd of a derivative political thriller.
What exactly did you ask them, Katie, that convinced you that they will be great for the position? We can't picture them in these positions. We don't need their answers because we've seen, heard, and been proven to have their actions and lack of experience deemed them unqualified. Girl, please
I just don’t understand why the media won’t keep pushing this. Ask the question over and over again until they get a real answer. Back them into a corner. Expose the hypocrisy and lies. Show the American people what’s really going on. We need the MSM to grow some balls!!!!!
Oh they will find out soon enough, it’s the cabinet that is expected to hand him the keys to the kingdom of the USA. There will be no history after that. .
So, if you can con this woman into believing you are sincere, you can be in the Justice Department if the guy that has a criminal record for lying says she’s legit….. got it.
such a none answer, basically saying because Donald told me to vote for her, I am going to fake going through the process and vote for them, my senate seat is more important than actually doing my job
QNN always platforming the far right loons with ZERO pushback. It's just a campaign stop now, spread the lies, the hate the fascism, the incoming dictatorship, and QNN will let you, encourage you, replay your lies for days and days. Good times.

Did you ever see the mythical cast that surrounds <<
how is being elected an acceptance and pardon of intended destruction and treason!!???
They lie every time they open their mouths
Their goal: destroying the U.S. government and installing a dictatorship.
Uh, huh. How many was that, Katie, one? two?
That was the opening for Jake to ask her if she has actually spoken to Bondi.
It's a sad answer for a serious question, and she should have been pressed on what made them convincing. Because absolutely no one else is confident in their answers.
Kitchen is filled with all kind of dumb asses.
She's the political version of a Stepford Wife...
Damn JAKE— call out the BS.
ALL LIES KATIE. YOU SHOULD ALL DIE OF SHAME. ALL YOU LYING MAGATS KILLED AMERICA.
NO ONE WILL EVER TRUST AN AMERICAN HERE FORWARD.
Katie “Gritt my teeth “
