Jake Tapper Hits Mike Johnson With Blunt Reality Check On Trump's 'Enemy Within' Comment
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING “Does wanting to use the military against political opponents, would that pass muster with the Civility Caucus?” said Tapper, referring to a caucus that the House speaker helped establish in Congress in 2017. Tapper then played a Fox News clip of the former president, who referred to an “enemy from within” before naming Rep. Adam Schiff, former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and her husband Paul Pelosi, the latter of whom was assaulted at their home in 2022. “So, let me just say, if a Democratic presidential candidate said that you and your wife were evil and that the military should be used against you, I would say that’s disgusting,” he said. So they’re willing to give a little on his social media posts and some fun language he uses at rallies.” Tapper replied by citing Trump’s recent characterization of Jan. 6, 2021, as a “day of love.”
