Jake Tapper: Who Loves To Bash Generals? Donald Trump.

This White House shows once again that it has no decency or morals.

CNN’s Jake Tapper drove that point home Friday on “The Lead” after journalists challenged White House chief of staff John Kelly’s account of a speech by Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.). Press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded: “If you want to go after Gen. Kelly, that is up to you. If you want to get into a debate with a four-star Marine general, I think that’s something highly inappropriate.”

Tapper called the comment “perfectly acceptable if you’re the press secretary of a junta.”

Kelly’s account Thursday of Wilson’s 2015 speech at the dedication of an FBI building named for two slain agents was disproved by a video of the event. Kelly had said Wilson boasted about her role in obtaining funds for the building and failed to honor the agents. His criticism of the congresswoman came as he defended Trump’s controversial condolence call to a combat widow earlier in the week, a call that Wilson recounted as “insensitive.”

“There’s a long tradition in this country of questioning generals,” Tapper said on CNN. “You know who has done a lot of questioning of generals? President Trump.” He then read three Trump tweets, criticizing Gens. Colin Powell, John Allen and Martin Dempsey.
