Jake Tapper sends top Democrat into tizzy for exposing Dems' two-faced rhetoric on GOP 'election deniers'
CNN anchor Jake Tapper grilled Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday over two-faced rhetoric attacking Republicans for being so-called "election deniers," yet boosting their primary campaigns.
Maloney is chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
What is the background?
Democrats spent more than $53 million in primary elections boosting Republicans they believed would be easy opponents in the general election.
The candidates that Democrats supported were often those who support Donald Trump and perhaps even question the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. Thus, while Democrats now bemoan Republican "election deniers," they meddled in primary elections to boost those same candidates — at a relatively effective rate.
What happened on CNN?
Tapper questioned Maloney about recent comments he made in which he suggested only Republicans are guilty of questioning the legitimacy of elections, before confronting him over Democratic election-meddling.
"The thing is Democrats writ large have spent $53 million supporting far-right candidates — election deniers — in the primaries, including the DCCC," Tapper began. "By amplifying these election deniers, aren't you holding responsibility, to a degree, for the undermining of democracy that you're also warning about?"
An exasperated Maloney first responded, "Oh my God!" before denying the DCCC positively supported any of the candidates it now claims are evidence that Republicans threaten democracy.
But Tapper quickly fact-checked him.
"Come on! You guys were boosting John Gibbs, an election denier, a MAGA Republican, so that he would beat Congressman Peter Meijer, who voted to impeach Donald Trump after the Capitol attacks," Tapper shot back. "You thought Gibbs would be easier for your Democratic candidate to beat. So, you boosted him. That's the only reason he won that race!"

Maloney responded by accusing Tapper of trying to be "kind of cute" for challenging him, but conceded the DCCC did spend money to boost Gibbs. He tried to minimize it, however, by saying the DCCC only spent $400,000 out of a $340 million budget on it.
Tapper responded by highlighted the irony of Democratic hypocrisy, noting the DCCC, in boosting Gibbs, helped defeat Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.).
"When people like you say, 'Where are all the good Republicans'— you help defeat one of them!" Tapper exclaimed.
In the end, Maloney defended the support, exclaiming that he will not exercise "defeatism."

'Holy moly': Jen Psaki shocked over poll results undermining Dem narrative about 'election deniers'
Jen Psaki, the former White House press secretary turned MSNBC talking head, expressed shock on Tuesday that some Democrats will vote for candidates who questioned the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
"Holy moly," Psaki tweeted on Tuesday, referring to the latest New York Times/Siena College poll.
\u201cHoly moly siena/NYT poll \u201cmore than a third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the legitimacy of the 2020 election\u2026\u201d as they focus on economic issues\u201d— Jen Psaki (@Jen Psaki) 1666094347
The NY Times/Siena poll discovered that nearly 40% of registered voters are open to supporting candidates who questioned the outcome of the 2020 election results.
Breaking down those results along demographic lines, 71% of Republican voters said they are opening to supporting such candidates, while 37% of independent voters and 12% of Democratic voters also admitted they are open to supporting those candidates.
Meanwhile, the poll found that 71% of registered voters believe American democracy is "under threat" versus 21% of registered voters who do not.
The result of the poll suggests that American voters are susceptible to Democratic rhetoric that claims Republicans are threatening American democracy. But the results also prove that, when the rubber meets the road, voters are apathetic to that alleged threat or they do not believe that questioning election outcomes endangers democracy.
At the very least, it shows voters care most about other issues like the economy, inflation, and crime.
"I don’t believe that their opinion on whether or not the election was quote unquote stolen is important. ... I’m far more concerned about their stance on policies that actually matter," one independent voter told the Times. "How do you feel about the state of the economy?”
Perhaps the greatest irony of the NY Times/Siena poll is that respondents who said they believe democracy is under threat were more likely to attribute that threat to Democrats than Republicans.
At any rate, the poll results undermine the trite Democratic narrative that says so-called "MAGA Republicans" pose an existential threat to democracy because they do not accept the results of elections. Clearly, a significant portion of the electorate disagrees.
