CNN’s Jake Tapper called out Linda Sarsour for her “ugly sentiments” on twitter.
Shakur is a cop-killer fugitive in Cuba. This, ugly sentiments from @lsarsour & @dykemarchchi …Any progressives out there condemning this? https://t.co/rXnHLgE2hR

He was referring to a crazy ass tweet from Womens March supporting Assata Shakur, who shot and killed a New Jersey policeman before fleeing to Cuba.
Happy birthday to the revolutionary #AssataShakur! Today's #SignOfResistance, in Assata's honor, is by @Meloniousfunk. pic.twitter.com/V66au1dRnl

More from Fox News:
Shakur, also known as Joanne Chesimard, the godmother of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, is suspected in a series of early 1970s incidents linked to black revolutionary groups in New York City — including a bank robbery, grenade attack and the ambushing of police officers in Queens and Brooklyn.
She was convicted of shooting a New Jersey trooper to death in 1973, but she escaped prison and, in the early 1980s, fled to Cuba, where she was granted political asylum.
But he also went after Sarsour:
.@jaketapper please share my "ugly" sentiments? Unapologetically Muslim? Unapologetically Palestinian? Pro-immigrant? Pro-justice? Shame.

Your comment about @Ayaan for one.

He was likely referring to this now deleted tweet:
Sarsour may have deleted her vile tweet, but the Internet never forgets: pic.twitter.com/dm0PuxCDWY

Of course the nutcase accuses him of being alt-right:
.@jaketapper joins the ranks of the alt-right to target me online. Welcome to the party.

Which is insane.
Good for him for calling this insanity out.
