OMG! Tapper just mocked the hell out of rump and his Omar hypocrisy. An instant classic!

Last edited Wed Feb 13, 2019, 09:02 PM - Edit history (3)

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

There's another thread that suggested Tapper was angry.

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

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...

Every celebrity and some politicians were on Laugh-In. Even Nixon, as I recall.

It's outdated now, but at the time, it broken new ground and was avant-garde.

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.

This was brilliant. You can make out its deliberate by his last line when he says they are having difficulties differentiating between what is considered anti-semitism and what is not!

some Nazis marching in a torch light parade chanting anti Semitic and Nazi Party rhetoric for the purpose of terrorizing a segment of America are "very fine people." Holy shit, what the fuck happened America?
