“State of the Union’s” Tapper came out of the gate grilling Vance on Trump’s remarks about an “enemy from within” and retired Gen. John Kelly’s suggestion that his onetime boss fits “into the general definition of fascist.”
Vance, 40, in turn belittled Trump turncoats such as Kelly and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as warmongers, which led to Tapper, 55, to drill down on the 45th president’s rhetoric about targeting election officials who cheat.
