CNN's Jake Tapper Slams Fox for Personal Tweet After NYC Terror Attack

CNN's Jake Tapper Slams Fox for Personal Tweet After NYC Terror Attack

Fox News tweeted a lie by twisting CNN's Jake Tapper's words around in a tweet he posted in the wake of New York City's recent terrorist attack.


The Huffington Post managed to acquire a screenshot of Fox News's tweet deriding Tapper. The CNN journalist commented on the phrase 'Allahu Akbar' - the Arabic phrase for "God is great," proclaimed by terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov, the Uber driver responsible for plowing into cyclists and pedestrians in New York City on Tuesday.

 

Fox's tweet reporting on Jake Tapper's story has been taken down.

Refusing to let sleeping dogs lie, Tapper went after Fox News for taking his tweet out of context to report a lie.

On Tuesday's airing of his show The Lead, Tapper said, “The Arabic chant 'Allahu Akbar,' God is great, sometimes is said under the most beautiful of circumstances. And too often, we hear it being said in moments like this.”

But after Fox intentionally omitted to mention the second half of Tapper's statement, he took to Twitter to set the record straight, saying, "Fox News is lying. I said it can be said at beautiful moments (wedding, birth) and too often at times like this (horrific terrorist attack)."

He followed up with the correction, adding, “Allahu Akbar” is a prayer; if we don’t understand how radical Islamic terrorists justify their evil using religion, West cannot defeat it."

And while the sour reputation of Fox isn't breaking news, Tapper admonished the network for their ill-advised tweet in the aftermath of a horrific incident.

"And yes, I know they do this all the time. Still, literally the day after this horrific attack that they would launch this smear — it’s sick," he tweeted.

Giphy

Former Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who guest-hosted "The Five" on Wednesday apologized to Tapper for the criticism, and tweeted to his followers, "In retrospect I don't think I gave @jaketapper a fair shake tonight. My bad." 

Meanwhile, Sean Hannity lacked any conscience. He urged Tapper to tell the audience the truth and maintained that Tapper's constant criticism of Fox News landed himself in low ratings. Hannity referred to Tapper as "liberal fake news CNN’s fake Jake Tapper," during his 10 p.m. news program.

Tapper responded by calling out Hannity's hypocrisy, referring to unsubstantiated claims surrounding the ongoing investigation into the murder of Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich in May 2017.

Trump Ripped After Going Off On Bonkers Rant About Room's Decor During Cabinet Meeting

During Tuesday's cabinet meeting while the press was in attendance, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump gave a rambling stream of consciousness speech that went all over the place before landing on paint versus gold leaf, leading people to again question the POTUS' mental acuity amid a notable cognitive decline.

In a disjointed monologue about the decor in the cabinet room, Trump said he stole a grandfather clock from Secretary of State Marco Rubio's office and chose a painting of James Polk because the frame matched the frame around his favorite President—Andrew Jackson.

Adams jumped on the latest Instagram trend this week, sharing his version of a “morning routine” video with his followers. The trend, which has already begun to fade, typically features sped-up clips of people going through their early rituals—complete with edits, ambient music, and timestamp overlays.
