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.
