If that's "angrily yelling" I'm in big trouble. I'm not gonna lie. When I get very angry, which doesn't happen often, it's LOUD and there may be some bad words sprinkled in too.

Funniest news video I've seen in years .... Jake Tapper having trouble with the control room people in a segment about Ilhan Omar's alleged money-and-Jews statements, and the control room people keep "mistakenly" loading video clips of Trump and Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy making the same kinds of remarks

https://www.cnn.com/videos/tv/2019/02/13/lead-jake-tapper-trump-omar-hyprocrisy-live-jake-tapper.cnn

At the very end: "we seem to be having some issues sorting out which anti-Semitic tropes are offensive and which ones are not"

that tweet conflated 2 different scenarios.

Manu Raju tweeted this about the interview:

Rep. Ilhan Omar in no mood to talk about her controversies this week. First, she said: “No thank you” when asked to comment on Trump saying she should resign. Second time I saw her, she yelled: “Are you serious?” when I tried to question her.

Asked about her tweet this AM attacking Trump for trafficking in hate, she angrily said: “Yes I tweeted, and there’s a response. You can run that. Have a nice day.” And she walked into a meeting

Then people saw the interview on the skit that Tapper did.

Statement for which she has apologized.

Satire and humor are sorely needed and very helpful to pop the pretentious balloons.

... off as angry because they think they're the ones who are permised to be assertive and everyone else is supposed to be somewhat more servile.

Before I even got my question out the second time I saw her, Ilhan Omar angrily said: “Are you serious? What’s wrong with you.”
