In a shocking display of bias and hypocrisy, CNN’s Jake Tapper went on a tirade against Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene for proposing a censure resolution of Rep. Rashida Tlaib. Let’s take a moment to appreciate Tapper’s blatant attempt to be an apologist for Tlaib and her pro-Hamas behavior. It seems that Tapper has conveniently forgotten that Tlaib has shown unwavering support for the Hamas-dominated Palestinian Authority and has constantly criticized Israel’s right to defend itself against terrorist attacks.
Greene’s decision to propose the censure resolution was met with a predictable meltdown from Tlaib, who accused Greene of bullying and dehumanizing her. Well, sorry Tlaib, but holding you accountable for your anti-Semitic, anti-American, and anti-Israel rhetoric is not bullying or dehumanizing. It’s called doing the right thing and standing up against bigotry.
Even Democratic Representative Jared Moskowitz acknowledged that Tlaib should be censured. When even a Democrat agrees with holding Tlaib accountable, you know just how extreme her views are. But apparently, Tapper sees nothing wrong with Tlaib’s behavior and instead, chooses to focus on unrelated events like January 6th, conveniently diverting attention from Tlaib’s support for terrorist organizations.

Tapper argues that criticizing Tlaib’s anti-Semitism is using it as a political weapon. Well, I hate to break it to him, but anti-Semitism should never be tolerated or swept under the rug for political convenience. It’s astonishing that Tapper fails to recognize the gravity of Tlaib’s actions, such as leading an anti-Israel demonstration while protestors stormed a government building. Clearly, Tapper would rather protect Tlaib than acknowledge the real threat of anti-Semitism.
In a feeble attempt to justify her position, Tlaib claims that Greene’s resolution is Islamophobic and attacks peaceful Jewish anti-war advocates. It’s truly mind-boggling how Tlaib can twist the truth to fit her narrative. Greene’s resolution has nothing to do with Islamophobia; it’s about holding Tlaib accountable for her support of Hamas, a terrorist organization responsible for countless acts of violence.
Greene’s resolution is now set to go to a vote in the House, and every member of Congress will have to take a stance. It will be revealing to see which Democrats condemn Tlaib’s hatred for Israel and support for terrorists. As for Tapper and his biased analysis, it’s clear that he is more interested in pushing his agenda than reporting the facts. Conservative viewers should not be fooled by his attempts to downplay Tlaib’s extremism and protect her from the consequences of her actions.
