Jake Tapper Tweets Out Bible Verse About Sin of Lying to Chagrin of Trump Supporters
CNN anchor Jake Tapper is an early contender for subtweeter of the year, after he tweeted out a proverb Thursday denouncing the sin of falsehood.
Proverbs 12:22: Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight. https://t.co/fgjL6AsPnZ

Despite the tweet not mentioning Donald Trump, for some reason many of his supporters got very defensive.
@jaketapper Yet youre candidate was Hillary Clinton?? The biggest liar of all time.

Tapper took the criticism in stride, even joking about it when HotAir’s Ed Morrissey came to his defense.
Not sure why @jaketapper‘s getting ripped for this citation. None of us are perfect, and Jake’s integrity is well known. John 8:7 applies. https://t.co/fAT8r9i2XR

@EdMorrissey I’m assuming they hate God and love lies
