He was pretending to hold his ear piece, a la Gary Owens from Laugh In style, and telling the control room to "run that clip of the Omar tweet" but they kept running the wrong clip! They kept "mistakingly" running clips of rump's anti-semitic statements.
Can't wait till it's available.
Full video clip (Thanks, catbyte ):https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2019/02/13/lead-jake-tapper-trump-omar-hyprocrisy-live-jake-tapper.cnn

Lord, I hope someone finds that video. I so want to see it.

(11,169 posts)I'm still chuckling. Tapper is too funny sometimes!
I love how he keeps a straight face and his timing is wonderful. Also what a great way to highlight the hypocrisy of the situation! Very smart me thinks...

It's outdated now, but at the time, it broken new ground and was avant-garde.

(6,262 posts)I DVR both Nicole and Jake in the afternoon to see after I return from work.
It is a shame they are in the same time slot. They are both great.
However, as soon as a "Mainstream" Repug becomes manifest in a candidate, I predict Nicole will go full Romney (as she wishes him to be.) Sad, but I do like her NOW. I suspect Jake doesn't yet have the clout to avoid the occasional "both sides" treatment now and then as to scheduled guests.
They are both smart and savvy hosts. Just wish not oppo each other.
