Jake Tapper sucks and he still has not apologized for smearing Rashida Tlaib. He literally made up a quote she did not say to try to create a fake outrage cycle on national television. He consistently demonstrates anti-Muslim bias.

Sent to me from a source who took this video yesterday who says LAPD pushed an unhoused person walking in the crosswalk. The fall caused the woman’s head to crack open.
