Don’t count on it. The wacho slur was just to control the narrative. The question was poke to get the issue out there but they don’t want to loose control. If he hadn’t made the wacko slur the flood gates would have opened up and they don’t want that yet. Keep track from now on and you will see that the subject will begin to come up more and more. Tapper just opened the gate to allow other talking heads to reference him when broaching the subject.
I do hope you’re right, actually.
