Jake Tapper isn't having it [View all]

Wasn't it just a day or two ago that jaydee couldn't draw a crowd at the Turning Point USA "rally' and Erika canceled because of threats? And everyone was saying that TP was low energy and on its way out?

He actually said "What will he say?" I know my answer. Who cares? That was before I changed the channel.
