CNN’s Jake Tapper Picked Up 200,000 with Ron DeSantis Interview, Still Finished Last in Time Slot

CNN and I guess Jake Tapper himself thought interviewing Ron DeSantis would help CNN’s ailing ratings.

It did, to a point. On Tuesday at 4pm, Tapper picked up an extra 200,000 viewers.

But with a total of 786,000, Tapper still ran a distant third to MSNBC and Fox News.

No one really wanted to hear DeSantis on CNN, he just blabbed on about his usual mishegos, and Tapper let him to it.

CNN has become a sounding board for Republicans. Unfortunately, no one cares. We’ve heard it all. DeSantis is insane. He has no campaign either. He’s destroying Florida’s economy. Yada yada yada….
