Somehow his demeanor in the video doesn't convey moral outrage much. His discovery starts around the 9:00 mark.

. For his report, Tapper decided to jump onto the social media platform he feels has the lowest standards when it comes to moderation. Gab also receives 10 times more monthly visitors than Parler, Tapper reported. He revealed it wasnt long before he found anti-Semitism being proudly displayed by some Gab users.
I clicked on explore, which took me to popular posts across Gab. I came in with an open mind and immediately Gab hit me with this post, quote, we are in a war time, but its a quiet war time perpetrated by the Jew, with a picture of Adolf Hitler. And there was plenty more where that came from, Tapper said. The n-word is super big on Gab. It is a cesspool of hate. ....
So, again, Gab too does not just allow any speech. It takes precautions, he said. It doesnt seem to care about hate speech, however.
Tapper added his tumble down the Gab rabbit hole included more hideously racist posts than Ive ever seen in one place in my life.
