CNN isn’t a true news organisation. We see it often but sometimes, it’s more glaring than other times.
Watch Jake Tapper trying to persuade Sen. Amy Klobuchar(D-MN), to criticize Sen. Ted Cruz. (R-TX). Now, you might think that Tapper would stay focused on Dole — which is the news — but then he couldn’t attack Republicans or hype division, which is the only thing that CNN subsists on anymore.

“You were at the funeral for former Senator Bob Dole,” Tapper says. “And you were seated — there’s — there you are. As everyone can see, you were sitting next to Ted Cruz, the Republican senator from Texas. Despite National Cathedral rules requiring that all guests wear masks indoors, Ted Cruz was not covered up. Now, you’re a breast cancer survivor. You’re still recovering, I guess.”
Klobuchar disputed that, saying: “No, I’m 100 percent good now.”
“You’re 100 percent better, but you’re still at risk of infection because of — because of this fight that you won,” Tapper continued, just blowing off what she said. “What was going through your mind there, where Ted Cruz pulls up next to you and doesn’t have a mask on, even though the rules are, please wear a mask to protect you — you wear the masks to protect other people.”
Klobuchar doesn’t exactly give Tapper what he wants because he wants her to say how evil it is, when she’s a cancer survivor, and she refuses to give him that because it’s ridiculous. While she says people should wear masks when they’re supposed to, she also sort of defends Cruz, saying “part of our duty as civic leaders is actually to model behavior because it’s not just about masks. It’s also about vaccines. And Ted Cruz, he’s gotten a vaccine. He gets that.”
Then, she refocuses her attention back on Bob Dole as she ought. That’s what this was supposed to be about — his life and legacy. It’s getting bad when even Democrats are making more sense than CNN hosts.
Tapper’s attack was stupid for two reasons. Jake Tapper is sitting next to Klobuchar with no mask. Can someone please explain how this could be so different? Further, if we’re talking about masks and modeling behavior, her mask wasn’t on properly and her nose was out of the mask, as this further video makes very clear.

So does anyone want to explain to me the logic here — since that made her effectively maskless as well?
Tapper is determined to punish Ted Cruz. Tapper wants to chastise Ted Cruz. If she’s vaccinated and Cruz is vaccinated, what’s the question here?
Tapper also doesn’t note the three other people around Klobuchar and Cruz who are also unmasked or wearing their face diapers around their chins (that you can also see in the video) because attacking them doesn’t fit his political narrative.
Tapper wasn’t the only media person who tried this gambit against Cruz, as we previously noted.However, it didn’t gain any traction.
Democrats and media playing mask police are silly, and that’s why we’re going to keep pointing out their hypocrisy when they do things like this. Tapper seems so low to criticize Cruz while he is trying to honour Bob Dole. And yes, regarding what Arthur Schwartz notes in the tweet above, earlier in his career, Jake Tapper worked for a firm that repped for Hooters and he was quoted as being a “spokesman” for Hooters.
Steve Krakauer, a former CNN producer, also called out hypocrisy.
Jake Tapper isn’t wearing a mask either, indoors, sitting next to Amy Klobuchar. Tapper as well Cruz have been vaccinated. CNN does not require that a negative test be done before Tapper or Cruz appear unmasked. This question is what? https://t.co/1Wqkal3zgR
