CNN's Tapper Has One Word Response To Bannon's 'Keep Its Mouth Shut' Comment
Here's what CNN's Jake Tapper had to say about Steve Bannon's comment that media should “keep its mouth shut.”
President Trump’s controversial chief strategist Steve Bannon suggested in a recent interview that the media should “keep its mouth shut.”
CNN's Jake Tapper had a simple response, "a reminder that the president's top aide just told the New York Times that the press should keep it mouth shut. Ha, No."
Bannon's comment was made during a phone interview with the New York Times Wednesday after he criticized the press for being caught off guard by Trump’s election victory.
He said, “The media should be embarrassed and humiliated and keep its mouth shut and just listen for a while.”
The former Breitbart executive added, “The media here is the opposition party. They don’t understand this country. They still do not understand why Donald Trump is the president of the United States.”
