CNN anchor Jake Tapper urged people to “stop being awful, stop rewarding awfulness, and stop promoting awfulness with your algorithms” in a Saturday social media post after a video of people hurling abuse at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was shared online.
The video, posted on Friday, shows a man standing outside Walz’s home shouting “ret---” as a pair of people shout encouragement from a nearby stationary car, with the driver repeatedly honking the horn.
Tapper reposted the video with a message to his followers: “Everyone really needs to take a breath and stop being awful, stop rewarding awfulness, and stop promoting awfulness with your algorithms. Happy & fulfilled & confident people don’t spend time doing any of this.”
