‘Absolutely Undemocratic…Seditious’: Tapper Rails Against 106 GOP Reps. Backing ‘Garbage’ Lawsuit to Overturn Election

CNN anchor Jake Tapper pulled no punches in vocally condemning the majority of the Republican House caucus who publicly came out in favor of the Texas attorney general’s lawsuit to overturn the 2020 election results in the Supreme Court.

On his Thursday afternoon show, Tapper said he was “stunned” by the move, which came at the behest of President Donald Trump himself, who had urged Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) to rally other House GOP representatives to back the Texas suit.

“More than half of the Republicans in the House have signed on to this lawsuit that legal experts, conservative legal experts have said is a ‘garbage’ lawsuit, ‘insane,’ would ‘set horrific precedents,'” Tapper explained, before turning to CNN legal analyst Laura Coates. “What do you make of this?”

“It’s so completely counter to common sense what is happening,” Coates pointed out. “The Supreme Court doesn’t want to weigh in on a political matter where there hasn’t been some basis for them to hear it, where a state that says even if we’re not affected by it we want to lodge a complaint after we see the outcome and only after our person is bringing the lawsuit.”
