CNN’s Jake Tapper uses Holocaust footage to attack Donald Trump and his supporters

CNN host Jake Tapper used disturbing footage of the Holocaust in an attempt to equate Donald Trump and his supporters with Nazi activists for failing to “condemn” the former president for eating dinner with Kanye West and little-known commentator Nick Fuentes.

Tapper’s objectionable opinion was part of his closing monologue on Sunday’s “State of the Union”.

The diatribe was an attempt to accuse Republican lawmakers — most notably House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — of denouncing a dinner at which Trump met with West and Fuentes, the the latter two had made bizarre, mostly incomprehensible remarks. about Jews in recent days.

Tapper also referred to his great-uncle Edwin who was shot and killed by the Germans during World War II.

“What are we talking about tolerating here? Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. Pure evil,” Tapper asserted. “The evil off camera in this picture.”

“See that little kid over there on the left showing the other kids the flower, see that kid? These are Hungarian Jews in 1944. And without knowing it, they were waiting to be killed,” he continued. “They were about a hundred or 200 yards from gas chambers.”

Jake Tapper uses Holocaust footage to condemn Trump supporters

It’s really hard to take Tapper seriously when he dives into AOC-level commentary and tries to make the story about himself.

“Look, me and my Uncle Edwin are fighting Nazis while the GOP won’t condemn a dinner with this loser no one has ever heard of and that makes them Nazis.’

Or something.

And Tapper is downright obsessed with the Fuentes controversy. Undoubtedly, this new story from the media has given Fuentes much more exposure than if he had simply been ignored.

But “Get Trump” is the goal, not ignoring the barely-known 20-year-olds on the internet.

Jake Tapper begins the interview with James Comer by pressing him on Trump-Fuentes, noting that his earlier remarks were not “the strongest condemnation of a Holocaust denier.”

Here he suggests that anyone who doesn’t condemn dinner with Fuentes is essentially a Nazi himself:

“These are images from inside those concentration camps where, after being demonized for years by Nazis whose lies were first tolerated and then adopted by politicians and the public, Jews were ghettoized and then rounded up and slaughtered. Together with millions of Roma, gays, Catholics and others.”

Ever the self-righteous jackwagon. This is the same guy who tried to shame people into becoming more “adult” like him only wearing a mask in a room to contain the spread of COVID.

He is a virtue signaller to the ninth degree.

And hey, how much cover has Jake Tapper put on the Azov Battalion in Ukraine? Surely men running around with Wolfsangels, Sonnenrads, loving photos of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera and other Nazi symbols on their uniforms deserve more attention than a kid with a podcast?

Who was former Hooters spokesperson @jaketapper afraid of being alienated when he had Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar on his show multiple times and didn’t voice their antisemitism?

CNN should be concerned about CNN

Since Tapper is playing stupid association games, he might want to look inside his own house before showing Holocaust footage to shame people at a non-event dinner.

This is the same network as before forced to fire contributor Marc Lamont Hill in response to controversial comments he made about Israel.

Hill called for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” which according to the StopAntiSemitism.org site explainsis a “code for exterminating the State of Israel and its millions of Jews”.

CNN fired Marc Lamont Hill, but why didn’t Temple University hold him accountable for his hateful rhetoric?

“Well, at least they fired him,” you might say.

But then there’s current CNN host Don Lemon, who once told Louis Farrakhan that it was ahonor and pleasure‘ only to meet him during a florid 2007 interview that he later described as ‘great’.

Farrakhan is a rabid anti-Semite who has referred to Jews as “termites” and praised Hitler as “a very great man”.

Where is Tapper with his folder of Holocaust images and Uncle Edwin stories when he talks about Don Lemon?

CNN consistently gives a platform to anti-Semitic representatives Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), the former who has called Israel “evil,” the latter of which has said of the holocaust gives her a “soothing feeling” because Palestinians provided “a safe haven for Jews” afterwards.

Besides, CNN famously supported Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential election, providing him with a platform without which he might never have won. Now he’s the problem.

What would Uncle Edwin have thought about CNN’s own actions?
