CNN anchor Jake Tapper condemned President Trump for his recent derogatory remarks about Ukrainian President Zelensky, calling him a dictator and a mediocre comedian. Tapper argued that Trump is misrepresenting facts by portraying Ukraine as the aggressor in their ongoing conflict with Russia. He criticized the president for failing to recognize Zelensky's constitutional actions amid a national crisis. Tapper emphasized Trump's tendency to undermine basic decency in his rhetoric, likening his defense of January 6 protestors to his claims about Zelensky.
This is more than him just breaking with tradition. He's breaking with facts. He's breaking with truth, and in some ways, he's breaking with basic decency.
The president is once again falsely casting Ukraine, the victim of an aggressive and bloody territorial seizure, as the aggressor.
