24. Jake Tapper is horrible

I can't believe he let Trump get away with saying he doesn't know what the KKK is. I think Tapper knows if he pushes too hard, Trump might refuse to come on again and there goes their ratings. Very scary and sad. Journalist, my foot. How the heck do these people get shows. Come to think of it, why are all of CNN's Sunday shows hosted by men? Fareed Zakaria, I actually like his show though, the media one with the bald guy, then Tapper's show. There's also MTP with that blowhard Chuck Todd, blech.

What I was surprised about was hearing later on from republican reps that the GOP disavows the KKK. I honestly did not realize that. Even with that, I feel GOP is just like Trump. They say one thing but wink, wink and nudge nudge. I feel the GOP embraces white supremacy no matter what they say. I just can't believe others don't see it.

He probably doesn't. tazkcmo Feb 2016 #1

Has he posted his score? AngryOldDem Feb 2016 #14
I haven't done any research to check the validity of his statement. In_The_Wind Feb 2016 #17
From my observations, I believe that Trump is a very ignorant man. ladjf Feb 2016 #4
He has no standards or scruples. AngryOldDem Feb 2016 #12
