This video is absolutely hilarious – Jake Tapper just obliterated Keith Ellison, but he did it with a few simple questions that expose Ellison’s absolute hypocrisy on calling out bigotry while excuse it from his buddies.
Watch below:
It’s really worth watching the whole thing, and Tapper isn’t out to “gotcha” the guy. But he simply made him answer about his association with an incredible bigot, Louis Farrakhan, and Ellison is not used to being forced to answer tough questions. At the end of the video he looks like he has just been blindsided by a big rig LOL!!
In retrospect, Ellison should have seen the big rig of truth heading straight for him:
The difference between Farrakhan and some members of the alt-reich whose heinous bigotry has received a lot of attention this past year: Farrakhan has a much larger following and elected officials meet with him openly.

WaPo factchecker: “Ellison is trying to have it both ways, publicly distancing himself while privately doing something else. He earns Four Pinocchios for suggesting his interactions with Farrakhan ended in 2006.” https://t.co/FLjtCm6ame
