CNN's Jake Tapper reacts to President Trump taking offense to a question about nationalism and white nationalism at his post-midterm election press conference on Wednesday. PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, the reporter who asked the question, is a black woman. Tapper said it "boggles the mind" that Trump could believe that a black woman could be racist.

JAKE TAPPER, CNN HOST: "...The word ('nationalist') has baggage. A lot of people have not used the word...If you want to make the argument, make the argument.
The idea that any reporter asking that question, in particular an African-American woman is asking a racist question just boggles the mind. I mean, it is a perfectly legitimate question …
But no one should be surprised because this is how the president does that. You challenge him, he attacks you harder and that's what this press conference was all about. And I feel threatened, therefore I'm going to threaten everybody here.

As if it’s a big deal to boggle the mind of Tapper.
“You could tell Trump was worn out from all his campaigning, so he had no patience for the usual manipulative questions that are really thinly veiled slurs against him. He should have just thrown up his hands and said you people are hopeless, and I don’t have the patience for this today, adios.”
No, I think that he thought to himself, “It is 2 years until the next election, and they hate me already, so I can say whatever the Hell I want and it’ll just get forgotten in the general milieu of hate. Let’s have some FUN today!”
What a stupid and racist thing to say.
Unfortunately, in my personal experience, many of the black people I have met are racists. Not just racist, but full bore, on your face racists.
There was even an article by a college professor saying the same thing, Black people ( just because of the color of their skin) are magically not racist. They should listen to themselves to realize how absurd they sound.
There have been a lot of conflicts between blacks and Korean shop-owners, and many blacks don’t like Jews, and that isn’t limited to Farrakhan followers.
The company said she was a racist.
2 Slow I am! Should always read all posts before posting.
“boggles the mind” that Tapper and so many similar clowns can call themselves journalists....
It boggles the mind how clueless people can be.

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
2a : a doctrine or political program based on the assumption of racism and designed to execute its principles
b : a political or social system founded on racism
3 : racial prejudice or discrimination
It is the Progressive/Leftist use of manipulation of language to win power.
George Orwell nailed it.
Racism has been re-defined as not possible for black people, or more accurately Leftists/Progressives.
It is inherently dishonest, but that is what they are, it is what they do.
It is what political correctness is all about.
Accusations cloaked as questions.
Soon, people will think racist is a NASCAR fan./s
The media is the enemy of decent people.
NPCs like NPCJake have their programming break down when confronted with "outside the box" logic from The Bad Orange Man.

NPCJake read President Trump's mind. Nice trick, NPCJake.
This is why DemoKKKrats can vote against John James, Tim Scott, Mia Love and black Michigan Supreme Court incumbent Kurtis T. Wilder.
Then it would be said “he’s throwing in the towel” “coward” “can dish it out but can’t take it”, Trolly McTrollerson
>>Tapper said it “boggles the mind” that Trump could believe that a black woman could be racist.
Even MLK spoke out against the black separatists of the 1960s who were no better than the KKK in their hate and division and support for a segregated society.
