A fake screencap supposedly of a tweet sent by CNN host Jake Tapper made the rounds on Wednesday morning on alt-right and pro-WikiLeaks Twitter.
In the fake tweet, Tapper supposedly called for the execution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Needless to say, he didnt actually say anything of the sort (and the blurriness of parts of the image makes that obvious). But that didnt stop the image from going viral.

Jake Tapper genuinely seems to be trying to engage in journalism. For a change.

They really do envision a global hierarchy where the U.S., Northern Europe and Russia join to fight against the "impurities" of the "brown people."

Welcome to the resistance. Having Trumpbart land lying about you should be a badge of honor.
