Trump adviser gets pounded: How many people did the counter-protesters kill, Mr. Bossert?'

Trump adviser tries to school Tapper — and gets pounded: ‘How many people did the counter-protesters kill?’


Tapper pointed out that Trump “didn’t go far enough” in his condemnation of the rally.

“He believes that all Americans should have a conversation and an open debate on this matter,” Bossert opined. “This violence cannot stand. He made that clear yesterday.”

According to Bossert, not everyone who participated in the white supremacist rally is a racist.

“I’m sure there were good people,” he insisted, “that had various opinions on the maintenance or the removal of the statue. But what they found when they showed up were groups showed up from both sides looking for trouble, dressed in riot gear, prepared for violence.”

“How many people did the counter-protesters kill yesterday,Mr. Bossert?” Tapper quipped.

Without answering the question, Bossert observed that “one death is too many.”

“The victim was a counter-protester!”
Tapper interrupted.

Don't ask who attacked who - it just incentivizes the neoNazis to plant people in the peaceful side to start things.

The right question is about each sides' values. The neo Nazis preach hate. The counterprotestors stand for American values of tolerance and acceptance of immigrants.
