CNN's Jake Tapper discusses the aftermath of the U.S. presidential election on Chelsea Handler's show (Screen cap).
Taking a well-deserved vacation after a too-long election season, CNN anchor Jake Tapper was appalled to tune into his show on Monday, only to see a chyron quoting an anti-Semitic white nationalist who spoke in Washington D.C. over the weekend.
While fill-in host Jim Sciutto addressed remarks made by white supremacist Richard Spencer to a group of fledgling neo-Nazis at a rally on Sunday, the chyron beneath the panel read: "Alt-right founder questions whether Jews are people."
