𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍 𝐂𝐍𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐍’𝐓 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐎𝐍𝐄 — 𝐉𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏’𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐈𝐑𝐀𝐍 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐈𝐑 Jake Tapper, visibly uncomfortable, read Trump’s Truth Social post word for word on CNN — complete with a content warning for viewers: “𝘏𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘴, 𝘨𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨... 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭, 𝘳𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘏𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘻, 𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭.

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩.” Tapper immediately pivoted to the establishment caveat: “𝘞𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘢𝘯 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘭𝘢𝘸, 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘐𝘳𝘢𝘯’𝘴 𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺.” There it is. CNN’s top anchor just read the most unfiltered presidential threat to a hostile nation in modern history — and his instinct was to 𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐚𝐰 while American pilots are being shot down and a US airman was just rescued from behind enemy lines. Iran is firing missiles at Israel, closing the Strait of Hormuz, and shooting down American jets — and CNN’s concern is whether Trump’s 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 passes a Geneva Convention smell test.
