Amidst the liberal media’s Beto-like treatment for Kentucky senatorial candidate Amy McGrath (D) and NBC’s hit piece against McGrath opponent and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, CNN’s The Lead host Jake Tapper didn’t follow in lockstep on Tuesday, pressing McGrath on her long odds and her gross analogy comparing the 2016 election to September 11, 2001.

Even though he only got three questions in, Tapper made clear he wasn’t going to behave like those on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and Andrea Mitchell Reports earlier in the day, first pointing out to her that “Trump won Kentucky by 30 points in 2016” and so “what makes you think you can beat McConnell” when she had lost a 2018 House race in a blue wave.
