So…this happened on CNN:
Far-left writer Julia Ioffe, who blamed Trump and Glenn Beck for the synagogue shooting, claims that Trump has "radicalized so more people than ISIS ever did."
CNN's @JakeTapper just sits there and does absolutely nothing.pic.twitter.com/Sfh9ZbhvPP

And Tapper, THE MODERATOR, literally just “mm-hmm mmm-hmmms” as she goes on her DISGUSTING tirade.
This vile woman has been on this for a while now:
Here's her tweet blaming Glenn Beck: pic.twitter.com/CE3gZqBzDv

And her tweet on Trump: pic.twitter.com/jLBWfLm8me

In fact…
Julia Ioffe is so extreme/fringe that left-leaning Politico fired her over this tweet pic.twitter.com/vMAlL2a99O

This woman is mentally ill.
And yet CNN has her on to SPEW her unhinged hate with no one to check her. (Other than the one panelist who could not BELIEVE what he was hearing.)
This is exactly what dancing on the blood of Jews means!
He radicalized more people than ISIS? Have you lost your damn mind?
The media also has a responsibility, and letting this comment go unchecked and having this craziness on TV is failing that responsibility, BIG TIME! https://t.co/DvjkZqkJNL

Jake Tapper can play holier than thou on Twitter, but there comes a point when people need to start calling him out for allowing this stuff to go unchallenged. The neonazi attacker hated Trump. & btw, at its height, ISIS ranks grew into 6 figures range. https://t.co/um3RJnumUM

This claim is fully insane. https://t.co/BvOgAr6oE4

FULLY insane.
And Jake tapper is now defending himself:
As i explained live on air, I went right to @monacharenEPPC and @DavidJUrban to debate her, and they were eager to do so. It’s a panel not an interview.
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 29, 2018
WhatEVER, dude. No one’s buying that.
How is this an acceptable defense? It is literally your job to moderate the panel when it goes out of bounds.

@jaketapper hackery is so evident because there is no pushback when he also believes the same thing

Also…
later in the show she apologized and took it back
— Jake Tapper (@jaketapper) October 29, 2018
She explains:
I clarified and apologized on air, but I’ll say it again here. This has been a very emotional and painful time, but I absolutely should not have gone with such hyperbole on the air. I apologize.
— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) October 29, 2018
BUUUT (and it’s a big one)
I will add, though, that it is not a coincidence that the number of anti-Semitic attacks has jumped nearly 60% in 2017—the biggest one-year increase in recent history—while this administration has systematically pulled back resources from countering domestic extremism.
— Julia Ioffe (@juliaioffe) October 29, 2018
Yeah. She didn’t mean the apology, did she?
CNN knew EXACTLY what they signed up for when they had this hateful woman on air.
