Calling out Fox News for falsely smearing Rep. Angie Craig after she was violently attacked, CNN anchor Jake Tapper accused Fox News of peddling a “blatant lie” that inspired deranged viewers to bombard the congresswoman with abusive calls.
The Five’s. So, you got attacked, huh? In Minnesota? Well, that's what you get for turning that what, five or six-time felon, crack-smoking, fentanyl-eating, counterfeit money-passing, armed robber holding guns on fetuses, n****r [George] Floyd as a public hero,” one racist caller shouted. The same caller also said they hoped to soon see Craig violently sexually assaulted.
Craig, whose office has flagged her support for law enforcement and police funding, told Tapper that both Fox and the National Republican Congressional Committee have “accelerated the number of attacks we’re getting directly and specifically.” Pointing out that Craig has “never called for defunding the police,” Tapper explained that Fox News’ claims about her largely center on a one-time staffer’s comments while noting that it does appear “fueled” by the NRCC’s statement last week.
“This is just really an illustration of how gutter politics and outright lies and absurdities have infiltrated our politics and, frankly, Fox News and many of the commentators who work there,” she exclaimed. “And it’s dangerous. It’s dangerous to elected officials like myself. It’s dangerous to our democracy when you can’t tell the truth to your viewers.” Tapper, meanwhile, observed that her views on policing shouldn’t even really matter in the first place.
