Tapper: “Trump’s Lies Literally Have A Body Count”

“One of the most shameful days in this nation’s history. They were attempting to stop the certification of an election that President Joe Biden won fairly.

“Three of Trump’s supporters died that day of apparent medical emergencies. One Trump supporter was fatally shot by police as she approached the floor of the House of Representatives along with a violent mob.

“A US Capitol police officer, Brian Sicknick, later died of his injuries withstood on that day and then four other officers who defended the Capitol that day and were traumatized, took their own lives.

“And it all began with this lie that the election was stolen. And here we are again in 2024 with just 99 days to go until the election, listening to Donald Trump’s stick with these same fabricated claims that he can only lose Minnesota if Democrats cheat. No.

“Now look, Donald Trump may very well win the election. He may well lose the election, but these lies, they literally have a body count.” – CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who is now facing new blowback for not calling out Trump’s lies during the debate.
