CNN’s Jake Tapper: ‘The Emperor Has No Facts’
On CNN today, Jake Tapper didn’t hold back when talking about Donald Trump’s inability to consistently tell the truth.
Tapper started the segment by saying, “The emperor has no facts.”
Tapper continued to tear into Trump’s “baseless conspiracy theory” that “millions of illegals” voted in the 2016 election costing him the popular vote.
Tapper continued, “President Trump is claiming, and the White House is reaffirming, the fiction that millions of illegal votes were cast in the 2016 election. It is, empirically, a stunning allegation, one which the White House is providing no evidence.”
He continued, “And there’s a reason they’re providing no evidence. There is no evidence, it’s not true.”
“In fact, if there were even a fraction of the voter fraud that President Trump is alleging, he would be derelict not to order a major investigation. It would likely require a vast conspiracy involving public officials all over the country, and would likely have had far reaching impact in other contests, tainting raises down the ballot, not just the presidential race,” Tapper continued.
