Quote of the Day
“At his rally in Philadelphia on Saturday, Trump attacked Tapper, calling him “Fake Tapper,” eliciting jeers from the audience. In an interview with the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, Trump “referred to the CNN anchor as ‘Fake Tapper’ throughout."”
Trump is reverting to predictable territory ahead of Thursday’s debate: Aggressively attacking the debate moderators Dana Bash and Jake Tapper of CNN — even though his campaign agreed to the terms of the debate weeks ago.
