CNN’s Tapper: ‘We’re in a Time Where Faith in Institutions Is Eroding’

‘Some people are trying to purposely erode it, and other people are accidentally helping to erode it’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "Problems happen, mistakes happen, snafus happens, and if you know what the acronym snafu means, that's what happened. But I have to say, how they've handled it since made it much worse. Because look, we're in a time where faith in institutions is eroding. Some people are trying to purposely erode it, other people are accidentally helping to erode it, and it's very important that people have faith in the integrity of elections, especially after 2016, when the Russians interfered in the elections. And look, we're in a period right now where President Trump is about to be acquitted, but he was impeached on trying to involve a foreign country in the 2020 election, not through hacking, but through information. So, it's very important that elected officials the party leaders do everything they can to have faith, to encourage faith in the electoral process. And the problem here is there's been very little communication, there's been very little answering of questions.”
