Jake Tapper isn’t having it.

The CNN host went after Fox News on Wednesday over a very misleading tweet:

Twitter

But that’s not the full story. Fox News left out a few important details.

Tapper fired back:

Fox News is lying. I said it can be said at beautiful moments (wedding, birth) and too often at times like this (horrific terrorist attack). https://t.co/rQx3r0za6I

“Allahu Akbar” is a prayer; if we don’t understand how radical Islamic terrorists justify their evil using religion, West cannot defeat it

.@FoxNews chooses instead to deliberately lie about what I said. Following the slime-coated path of @DailyCaller and @infowars. Disgusting.

And yes, I know they do this all the time. Still, literally the day after this horrific attack that they would launch this smear — it’s sick

There was a time when one could tell the difference between Fox and the nutjobs at Infowars. It’s getting tougher and tougher. Lies are lies https://t.co/stYjntoJUq

Fox News later deleted the tweet.

But an article with a headline critical of Tapper ― labeling his comments as “outrageous” ― remains on the Fox News website:

A similarly misleading post linking to the story also remains on the Fox News Facebook page.
