CNN’s Tapper: Kari Lake Approached the CNN Table After the WHCD Shooting, Insulted One of Our Correspondents as ‘Midget’

TRANSCRIPT:

TAPPER: “Kari Lake, the election denier who‘s currently in charge of Voice of America, she approached the CNN table after the shooting and blamed journalists for the attempted attack and personally insulted one of our correspondents as a ‘midget.’ She then went outside and trailed me for about a block. I was trying to ignore her. She was saying that I was responsible for what happened, CNN‘s responsible for what happened. And that unhinged rant by someone who, frankly, obviously needs help, is now being matched with social media posts and more from the White House trying to use this horrific tragedy to demonize any criticism as calls for violence. And the president has been making literal calls for violence since 2015. I’m not even going to go into them, you’re familiar with them, but literal calls for violence.”
