CNN’s anti-gun town hall event and its left-wing moderator, Jake Tapper, are facing widespread criticism over what many saw as a bullying “show trial.” Tapper is being singled out for much of the criticism from those who say he remained silent as abusive personal attacks were hurled at Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch. Incredibly, Tapper also remained silent as his audience booed a rape victim.
At the Wednesday night spectacle, those in favor of protecting our Second Amendment civil rights were vastly outnumbered by an audience packed with hostile gun-haters and emotional questioners, including children.
According to various reports, the anti-gun participants were given scripted questions crafted by CNN. The last-place network has denied this by attacking a school shooting victim as a liar. His accusation, however, is credible given CNN’s long and disturbing history of using plants.
Throughout the hour, the audience heckled, howled, and poured derision on Loesch and Rubio. Other than admonishing his audience for calling Loesch a “murderer,” Tapper stood by in silent approval as abuse and personal attacks rained down on his outnumbered guests.

Collective Guilt, Political Scapegoating, Public Shaming..
Ah, all the tactics of Communist and Nazi Propaganda are well represented!
luckily, the left always overplays its hand. This came off worse than the Wellstone funeral.
How does this help them in the mid-terms?
Did they pass out Brown Shirts to the Attendees on the way in?
Blaming the NRA for school shootings makes as much sense as blaming driving instructors for drunk driving.
#FakeNews thugs.
There were probably more people in the audience than were watching at home, so no harm. It is CNN, after all.
CNN would fit in in the Soviet Union.
They wanted a mob and they got a mob. It makes them all look like foolish children and totally destroys their credibility and their argument.
They should have a panel discussion on how Hillary’s “Village” totally failed this kid as teachers, administrators, Law enforcement and local social workers who were in this village ALL failed this kid.
It doesn’t.
But they are too stupid to know this................
Every year about 800 people die in bicycle accidents, and 40,000 are injured. Where’s the outrage? Where’s Tapper? Nobody needs a bicycle!
A repeat of the Salem Witch trials with teenage girls screaming and convulsing on the floor anytime anything pro-2nd amemdment was said...
CNN hasn’t had a staged event since the debate between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders..all that was missing was the ear piece to make it official..isn’t it ironic how CNN hates guns yet their ENTIRE headquarters in Atlanta is secure with ARMED GUARDS
CNN is so far left even the Soviet Union News would be considered Conservative compared to CNN
Jake Crapper, know your slime ball:
“Tapper was born in New York City and was raised in Queen Village . He is the son of Theodore S. “Ted” and Helen Anne (née Palmatier) Tapper. His father was born to a Jewish family and his mother, who was raised Presbyterian, converted to Judaism. Tapper spent summers attending Camp Ramah in the Berkshires.
Education:
Tapper was educated at Akiba Hebrew Academy, an independent Jewish day school formerly located in Merion, Pennsylvania, and attended Dartmouth College, from which he graduated with an A.B. in History, modified by Visual Studies, in 1991. At Dartmouth, Tapper was a member of Alpha Chi Alpha fraternity. He briefly attended the USC School of Cinematic Arts.

And anyone can go in a store and buy a bicycle. I say raise the age to purchase a bike to 21.
Last year in New York a Jihadist rented a Home Depot truck and killed 8 bicycle riders..no call to ban home depot trucks..considering how easy it is to get one..only an ID and that’s it..why no call for increased truck background checks
This was an embarrassment for CNN. Booing a rape victim, great job CNN.
