Tapper has spent the better part of two and a half years legitimizing this kind of rhetoric with how he's used his cable television news slot but wants to act like Fine is now suddenly beyond the pale.
Remember that Tapper *made up a quote* from Tlaib but has never said anything on CNN about Fine.

online arguments aren’t about convincing the other party. they’re about establishing a psychosexual dominance over them that will burden them every time they see your posts from that point forward.
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

I literally saw a post two weeks back in which a guy with two jobs was flagellating himself because he was short on rent, lamenting that had he donated plasma more, maybe his rent would be on time.
