THE OFFENSE
CNN Host Fake Tapper misidentified the race of the individual who allegedly planted pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC as a “white man.”
THE TRUTH
The DOJ’s suspect, Brian Cole Jr., is a black man. It’s unclear how someone could have gotten this wrong, but Fake’s track record would suggest he attempted to run cover for the bomber. This isn’t the first time Fake Tapper has run cover for criminals. Earlier this year, Fake blurred the faces of criminal illegal aliens to conceal their identities and shield them from accountability.
KEY POINTS
• Jake Tapper mischaracterized a suspected pipe bomber as a white man despite the fact that he’s black.
SOURCES
• New York Post: CNN’s Jake Tapper skewered for calling black DC pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. a ‘white man’ on air
• Benny Johnson’s Post
• RapidResponse47’s Post

CLAIM
Immigration raid at New York business left workers terrified and slowed production, co-owner says
CATEGORY
THE OFFENSE
CNN and other media outlets disparaged a court-authorized law enforcement operation that took place at a factory in New York, utilizing language like “scared” and “terrorized” to demonize law enforcement and victimize a business who had committed crimes.
THE TRUTH
The business had not taken basic steps to avoid employing illegal immigrants, such as registering for E-Verify. It had also previously received nearly $1 million in public funds, much of which was intended to be used by the company to employ Americans.CNN has a history of fearmongering. They very intentionally utilize quotes, descriptions, and imagery that paints law enforcement in a negative light in order to accumulate support for their anti-law enforcement narrative. It is despicable that a major news organization like CNN would maintain an antagonistic approach to law & order.
KEY POINTS
• CNN vilified legal law enforcement operations instead of a business that used American taxpayer funds to employ illegals.
SOURCES
• Immigration raid at New York business left workers terrified and slowed production, co-owner says
• Owners of Central NY factory raided by federal agents shocked: ‘We feel terrorized’
