Rep. James Comer (R-KY) lashed out at CNN's audience after he was told network host Jake Tapper made him "sound like a joke."
During an interview on Monday morning, Newsmax host Rob Schmitt reflected on Comer's recent discussion with Tapper on CNN.
"He's making your investigation sound like a joke, and he's trying to make you look like a joke," Schmitt pointed out. "And then half of America sees that, and they think your investigation is a joke."
"How do you work around that?" the Newsmax host asked. "How do you work through that?"

"Well, that's the first time I went on CNN in three months," Comer explained. "We thought we would give it a try. You know, Jake Tapper is an intelligent guy, but he's playing to a low IQ audience."
"You know, CNN just is hemorrhaging viewers every day, and Jake's doing what he's told by his bosses at CNN, who are doing what they're told by their bosses at the Democrat National Committee," he added. "I mean, CNN is a wholly-owned, unprofitable subsidiary of the Democrat National Committee."
