JAKE TAPPER confirmed what’s been apparent since Jan. 6: Republicans who push election fraud conspiracies are not welcome on his show.
“It’s not a policy, but it’s a philosophy where I just don’t want to deal with it,” Tapper told KARA SWISHER on her NYT podcast, “Sway,” last week. “I mean, there’s about a third of the House Republican caucus that I am willing to book. I could name them to you if you want.”
This means no KEVIN MCCARTHY, no STEVE SCALISE and no ELISE STEFANIK on “State of the Union.” Tapper makes a fair point: If they’re willing to lie about the election, what else are they willing to lie about to his audience?
