CNN anchor Jake Tapper was on a roll Sunday as he absolutely shredded liberal bastion Think Progress writer Judd Legum and then did the same with Hillary Clinton, Media Matters and the lack of diversity in the 2016 Democratic presidential field.
The fireworks started when Legum tweeted “Featured guests on big 5 Sunday shows today (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN): 11 Men 1 Woman.”
Bothered by the indictment that this was a result of sexism, Tapper fired back “We had two presidential candidates on. The woman running for the Democratic nomination hasn’t sat down to do one Sunday show yet.”
That response cause Legum to go into a meltdown that got progressively worse as Tapper continued exposing him as the hack he is.
That’s when far left Media Matters For America research fellow Oliver Willis chimed in blasting the “racial disparity” of Sunday talk shows prompting another brutal response to liberal sensibilities from Tapper.
“I can’t help it if the entire Democratic field is white. Do I get points for interviewing Cruz, Carson and Rubio?” Tapper tweeted.
Classic.

@JuddLegum we had two presidential candidates on. The woman running for the Democratic nomination hasn’t sat down to do one Sunday show yet.

@jaketapper If/when Hillary does your show, that won’t solve the problem

@JuddLegum c) reducing Bernie Sanders as a guest to “just another white male” reinforces that think progress just a pro Clinton organization
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper when did I say that? This is absurd
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum he was one of my two guests today and you are classifying him as just another white male
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper You somehow turned that into an argument specifically against Bernie Sanders which I think you know is ridiculous
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum you brought up the guests on the Sunday shows today and gender diversity – the guests on SOTU are running for president
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper congrats! Do you think Sunday Shows should make an effort to book more women as featured guests? Or is there no issue at all?
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum I think that your diversity counts would be impacted if your chosen candidate Hillary Clinton did more interviews
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper My only point is that the Sunday Shows should consider booking more women as featured guests. Sorry if that offends you
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper I think pretending this is only an issue during presidential election years is dishonest or intellectually lazy
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@JuddLegum i’ve had the Sunday show for four weeks
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@jaketapper right, which is why my tweet did not mention you and WAS NOT ABOUT YOU
— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) July 5, 2015
@owillis @JuddLegum oh look MMFA now discouraging Sunday shows from booking Bernie
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) July 5, 2015
@owillis @JuddLegum I can’t help it if the entire Democratic field is white. Do I get points for interviewing Cruz, Carson and Rubio?
