Once Again, Fake Story About CNNs Jake Tapper Makes Rounds on Alt-Right Twitter

[bathroommonkey76]

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 didn’t actually say anything of the sort (and the blurriness of parts of the image makes that obvious). But that didn’t stop the image from going viral.
