CNN is really past parody. Host Jake Tapper just lately claimed that Joe Biden has acted on the ‘conservative facet of issues’ on the border.
Is it conservative to permit 300,000 individuals to illegally cross the border in a month? Who knew?
After these feedback, Jake throws the dialog to a visitor who simply occurs to be a former member of the Biden administration who tries to say that Republicans are susceptible on this situation. None of that is grounded in actuality in any respect.
