Trump Attacks Tapper After Contentious Interview With White House Aide

Source: Talking Points Memo




By ESME CRIBB Published JANUARY 7, 2018 10:32 AM

President Donald Trump on Sunday attacked CNN host Jake Tapper after Tapper ended a contentious interview with White House aide Stephen Miller by telling Miller that he had “wasted” the audience’s time with a performance for “one viewer.”




“Judge for yourself,” Tapper replied.




Tapper on Sunday ended his interview with Miller after the White House aide refused to answer his questions and instead demanded “three minutes” to tout Trump’s accomplishments and base. “I get it. There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious, you’re being a factotum in order to please him, okay?” Tapper said, as Miller continued to speak over him. “And I think I’ve wasted enough of my viewers’ time.”

He then ended the interview.

I tape both Jake and Nicole Wallace every day. If I only have time to watch one, I choose Jake. Pretty much the only one on CNN I watch, except if I switch to Anderson Cooper if Kornacki is motor mouthing on MSNBC.

Lyrics
You don't have to take this crap
You don't have to sit back and relax
You can actually try changing it
I know we've always been taught to rely

Upon those in authority
But you never know until you try
How things just might be
If we came together so strongly

Are you gonna try to make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Yes and walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Yes they do, yes they do, yes they do, yes they do, hey)

The competition is a color TV
We're on still pause with the video machine
That keep you slave to the H.P.

Until the unity is threatened by
Those who have and who have not
Those who are with and those who are without
And dangle jobs like a donkey's carrot
Until you don't know where you are

Are you gonna get to realize
The class war's real and not mythologized
And like Jericho, you see walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling
(Down) You'll be to week to fight it
(Down) oh unless we're united
(Down) oh will you deny it?
Ooh

Are you gonna be threatened by
The public enemies No. 10
Those who play the power game
They take the profits, you take the blame
When they tell you there's no rise in pay

Are you gonna try and make this work
Or spend your days down in the dirt
You see things can change
Walls can come tumbling down

Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down
Governments crack and systems fall
'Cause unity is powerful
Lights go out, walls come tumbling down






Hey Miller, your a racists has been, just like your sexual predator boss, and your fascist republican party, this song about sums it up


November 2018 cannot get here fast enough.....................

Thank you Jake Tapper for maintaining your journalistic integrity. I still remember Tapper teaching Trump the definition of racism.

Somehow this is connected with the publication of Wolff's book, I guess.
Tapper did the right thing, cutting him off. Enough is enough.

Showing us repeatedly on a daily basis he's deranged, and very mentally unstable , and unfit for office. He's clearly in a different reality of his own making.

And it's not Jake! Stephen Miller is a putrescent cauldron of hatred and "unfairness" himself. If he's not a Nazi, then neither was Goebbels.

In every appearance I've seen, he attacks with the most extreme RW talking points with no intention to engage in any kind of dialogue. He makes Ann Coulter look like Jim Lehrer. There's even video of him speaking in high school where he's like this.
