We at Hellbent Podcast try not to praise men too much (out of principle), but when a man is truly doing the lord’s work, he deserves a shoutout. Enter CNN anchor Jake Tapper from stage left. Tapper has always had a penchant for really digging at the truth, but this ferocity has reached new levels since Donald Trump was elected President.

When Trump tweeted about “fake news” on February 15, Tapper was having NONE OF IT.
These are news stories. Conspiracy theories are false & more like "Ted Cruz's dad was with Lee Harvey Oswald" or "vaccines cause autism" https://t.co/0Ps5pFBoU1

Our boy Jake also didn’t mince any words when it came to the most batshit Trump presser we’ve ever seen, saying it was “unhinged” and “it was an airing of grievances, it was Festivus.”
Tapper says everyone at home should ask, "How would you react if that were your boss?" I'll join the post-presser coverage on @CNN shortly

And now, Tapper is clapping the fuck back at Breitbart News. This “news outlet,” you might recall, is the bigoted website that White House chief strategist and certifiable Nazi Steve Bannon used to run. Breitbart reaaaally tried it:
When you make Jake Tapper drop the "Russkies hacked the election" meme. #4DChess https://t.co/7EG12f8CkT

But Jake was like NOPE.
Such a good doggy. Now go get your treat from Bannon. Arf!

No Fucks Tapper is the hero 2017 needs.

And if you thought Jake was done, you would be sorely mistaken.
No Fucks Tapper aka "bitter that I've been exposed as DNC hack" Tapper. He's been demoted from Purina to horse meat.

Better yet — тихо. взрослые беседуют.

So Jake — where you lead, we will follow. As long as you’re giving zero fucks, that is.
