Sold out the country to sell a book no one read

The history books put you next to Jesse Waters, not as an adversary but as another variant. The kids in the camps are suffering because of you. Clowns at CNN did more damage to the country than 10k Klansmen. A coward with no spine.
Great reporting every day!

Disappointed

I often listen to this podcast but have been growing increasingly disappointed by it. Tapper’s coverage used to be very fair but lately I find that he questions and pushes back on Democrats far more than Republicans. He should be pushing back equally on all politicians.
