On Wednesday, Tapper questioned the loyalty of Rep. Brian Mast (R-FL) who lost both his legs in 2010 in Afghanistan while serving as an explosive ordnance disposal technician for the United States Army in Operation Enduring Freedom.
Tapper never served in the military but knows of the dangers of war because he wrote words about it and thus, he is loyal to American democracy.
Mast spoke at the House impeachment debate and asked whether any of the rioters who breached the Capitol on Jan. 6th had been called before Congress to say if their behavior was carried out "because of our President."
Tapper's remarks came during a broader discussion about the GOP House members who planned to vote against impeachment of Trump, a mere week before his term was over, as to whether Trump fomented the attack on the U.S. Capitol building.
“The other thing I think is really, really important is the fact that we have video,” said CNN's Democrat apologist Dana Bash, referring to evidence showing that Trump actually did inspire the Capitol riot, "and I was just watching it as they were starting this [impeachment vote in the House], of the people who were storming the Capitol saying, ‘The president told us to come here.’”
Yes, Trump did tell them to come to the Capitol, but if you saw the entire video you would see and hear Trump tell them to protest "peacefully" and "patriotically." He may have said other things he shouldn't have said, but clearly, he was not calling for violence.
"Technically, one of the rioters reportedly said, “Our president wants us here,” while another was recorded saying, “We were invited by the president of the United States,” but let’s not quibble."
“Right,” Tapper said scornfully.
“There is video of this,” Bash continued, “just exhibit ‘A’ of the reams of evidence that we have.”
“One other thing,” Tapper, the former journalist, interrupted, “what you're saying is relevant because congressman Brian Mast, a Republican from Florida, who lost his legs, by the way, fighting for democracy abroad, although I don't know what his – I don't know about his commitment to it here in the United States, he said, ‘Did anybody say that?’”

Mast did not say that. Rather, Mast asked if any of the rioters had been asked to testify about whether they attacked the Capitol building at the behest of President Trump. That would be evidence that might be impeachable.
Mast's words on the floor of the House: “I rise with a very simple question. On Jan. 6, thousands of people broke the law by taking siege of our Capitol here with us inside. Has any one of those persons who brought violence on our Capitol been brought here to say whether they did that because of our president?”
No less than 30 seconds of silence followed his question.
“It appears I will receive no answer,” the congressman concluded.
But the former journalist stuck to his fantasy of the events.
“Yes,” Tapper said in response to a question Mast did not ask, “we heard them.”
“Yes,” Tapper said in response to a question Mast did not ask, “we heard them.”
Sure, Mast was wrong about what the rioters said last week. That doesn't excuse Jake Tapper to use Mast's remarks to question his loyalty and dedication to the country that he served honorably for over ten years in the Army. The only thing Tapper has served is himself.
