Jake Tapper eviscerates pro-jihad, pro-Sharia Linda Sarsour for “ugly sentiments”

17

Jake Tapper was honest enough to say that the mainstream media was too friendly to Obama, but he is very much a part of the kneejerk-leftist media establishment. So for him to take note of the undeniably ugly sentiments of Linda Sarsour, who has made pro-jihad, anti-woman, anti-Jewish statements, is a major development. Usually the left circles the wagons and protects its own, no matter what they do. Tapper’s breaking ranks is a rare show of integrity among establishment journalists.

“Jake Tapper eviscerates Muslim activist who made ‘jihad’ comment about Trump,” by Jon Street, The Blaze, July 19, 2017:

CNN host Jake Tapper strongly criticized the Muslim activist who said she “hopes” that opposition to President Donald Trump is a “form of jihad” Tuesday.

Tapper’s pointed response came after the official Women’s March Twitter account praised Assata Shakur, who is on the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorists” list.

“Happy birthday to the revolutionary #AssataShakur! Today’s #SignOfResistance, in Assata’s honor, is by @Meloniousfunk,” the tweet read.

…Tapper also brought up that a Women’s March organizer, Linda Sarsour, recently said she “hopes” opposition to Trump is a “form of jihad.” He also pointed to the Chicago Dyke March telling a Jewish flag carrier to leave one of its LGBT events.“Shakur is a cop-killer fugitive in Cuba. This, ugly sentiments from @lsarsour & @dykemarchchi …Any progressives out there condemning this?” Tapper tweeted.

Sarsour later responded to Tapper’s tweet, calling it a “shame.”

“.@jaketapper please share my ‘ugly’ sentiments? Unapologetically Muslim? Unapologetically Palestinian? Pro-immigrant? Pro-justice? Shame,” Sarsour replied.

As just one example, Tapper cited Sarsour’s previous comments about human rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Tapper was referring to a now-deleted tweet that Sarsour sent in 2011 in which she compared Ali to Brigitte Gabriel, who many believe is anti-Muslim.

“Brigette Gabriel=Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She’s asking 4 an a$$ whippin’. I wish I could take their vaginas away — they don’t deserve to be women,” Sarsour tweeted in 2011.

Tapper later tweeted more facts, including a link to Shakur’s FBI “Most Wanted” profile, as well as a 2013 Washington Post article, which reported the FBI had just named Shakur as a “Most Wanted Terrorist.”

Sarsour responded to Tapper’s tweets by claiming that the CNN journalist “targeted” her online.

“‘@jaketapper joins the ranks of the alt-right to target me online. Welcome to the party,” Sarsour tweeted.

Liberals with their identity politics and naive cries for “diversity” have become the pawns for Jihad and Hijrah. Radical Islam is an archaic, primitive belief system that has resulted in millions of deaths and NO forward advance of cultures it infects.

It’s laughable these “progressives”, who are supposed to want societal progress, want to import these refugees into our country and into the West.

We can no longer afford to house these 3rd world invaders. It’s too risky. America is struggling enough as it is. Most of us are making below living wage and had our health insurance forcefully taken away by Obama. My healthcare is up to $520 per month; compare this to my $25 per month car insurance (from Insurance Panda) or my $10/month life insurance. Both private enterprise (take note, Dems). Do we really want our tax dollars aiding these terrorists?

You can’t coexist with someone who wants to chop your head off.

Jake, have you been ordered by the CNN Overlords to take ‘sensitivity training’ when speaking of Sarsour or the Cult of Barbarity? God, I was sure you would have been shipped to the local abattoir and replaced by Donnie Lemon or one of the other Islamist appeasing talking-heads.

CNN will hire the best Swedish character assassination hitmen, for getting done with him and since they’re on a roll, do that to right wing “troublemakers”, like Pam Geller.
He’ll soon be found to be a racist, pedo, closeted Hitler worshiper/racist, wife abuser, and racist, god know what else (racist). Did I forgot to mention racist?
I’ve seen that movie before, it’s lame and weak.

Has CNN finally concluded that embracing and supporting the likes of Sarsour and friends is
a bridge too far for even them? This may be a start but they have a LONG way to go to get
to a non-partisan centrist view of the world.

The last “women” march had a featured speaker who was a convicted murderer. She and her gang members kidnapped a gay NY realtor and tortured him to death by sodomising him using a metal prod…..

Most gay “leaders” were silent, as was the Fake News media….

This is the new Democratic Party.

Those who follow UK politics may see the similarities between how Labour has devolved into a Communist – Islamist- terror sympathising group, and how the Dems are also running down the same slope with Ellison, the BLM, Jihad Sarsour and Bernie.

The Left is radicalising the same way Muslims have been since 911. The Left just lags behind a couple of years.
But as Muslims are tilting toward global jihad in larger and larger numbers, so are leftists becoming more and more revolutionary and violent.

Same in France. Melanchon got 30+% of the vote and he wants wealth confiscation, celebrates antisemitic violence, denies French history in relation to the Holocaust and has followers (and himself) attack reporters and critics with fists.

Must be some kind of promo for Tapper to try and bring back credibility to the “Fake News” network. CNN always sides with the feminist radicals and Muslim terrorist no matter how stupid and violent they are.

Jack Tapper seems to have some integrity about him. That is great. A chinch in the wall that is leftist media. Good for him. He told the truth about a leftist icon.

Hopefully, other leftist media types will follow and get back to reporting the news unbiasedly.

It is not “… a rare show of integrity…” Ms. Geller. It is a rare show of honesty. He has a long way to go to establish his integrity as ajournalist.

But keep hoping, Dagny.
