CNNs Jake Tapper asked New Jersey Governor Chris Christie on State of the Union on Sunday morning about the supposed contrast between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in their responses to the explosions Saturday in New York, editing out Clintons reference to bombings to create a false distinction.
Tapper cited Trump referring to a bomb in New York, then played a clip of Clinton criticizing him for saying that leaving out Clintons reference, seconds before, to what she called bombings.
Here is the Tappers question for Christie, with the edited Clinton clip:
Tapper: There is a contrast, I would say, between how youre speaking about it and how Mr. Trump spoke about it yesterday. Hes being criticized for talking about the New York bomb before local officials or local law enforcement had a chance to do so. He told the Colorado Springs crowd that a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows exactly whats going on thats really just a few minutes after the incident. And his opponent tried to draw a contrast. She waited hours later, until local officials spoke, and then she said this:
Clinton (clip): I think its important to know the facts about any incident like this. I think its always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions.
Tapper: As a general note, do you think politicians should wait until more information comes in, and should they defer to local official and investigators? Isnt that what you do as the governor of New Jersey?
Tapper made no mention of Clintons similar remark.

John Dickinson on “Meet the Depressed” basically called KellyAnne a liar when she said the Hillary camp in 2008 started the birther talk. I mean this SOB would not let up on it. The world coming apart around us and he’s 100% obsessed with trying to make Trump the bad guy on birther and ignore Hillary Clinton’s role in it. He called Trump a liar and KellyAnne Conway should have ended the conversation by getting up and walking off.
Don't know what to say - the system's so inbred. It's not even mildly democratic anymore. Just elites running the show for their own benefit. Thanks for sharing that tidbit - I didn't know that fact.
Tapper is a LIAR! Even BIG BIRD Mayor said it was a bombing!
Jerk Snapper was a well known leftist long before this episode.
Marjorie Margolis Mezvinsky is Chelsea’s MOTHER IN LAW!
Wasn’t he, at one time, revered for his bulldoggish, no nonsense, straight forward reporting? Gone to the dark side!
Yep! A bunch of COCKAROACHES dwell there!
Thanks for posting. Tapper blocked me. Haha.
I’m starting to think Hillary was so drugged out that she went off the planned script and said “bombs”.
She was supposed to allow the reporter to ask the question. The media had it all planned out, so they decided to just delete that portion and run with narrative.
Just boycott them, all of them. I will not watch CNN or visit their website or do anything that even remotely has the possibility of making them money. Get their ratings down to some UHF station.
Who is watching cnn??
She was drunk.
I used to think Jake was different. I was wrong.
Chuch Todd really is a joke. He spent a very long time this morning on the birther issue, which very few care about.
It seems that Jake believes that he is welcome to both his opinion and his facts.
AND...
The birther issue assures White Elites that they're superior to other Americans because of their extremely unrealistic positrons on race...
Chuck Todd has a lot more in common with Democrat operatives than he does with real journalists...(of the old school variety)
