Jake Tapper Spots The 'Shocking' Results Of Republican Poll On Trump's 'Hitler Language'
HuffPost
A CNN panel weighed in on a new poll showing how Iowa Republicans feel about Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric.
Jake Tapper reacted to Iowa Republicans rolling with Donald Trump’s “Hitler language” after the former president’s anti-immigrant “poisoning the blood” remarks sparked condemnation that he was echoing the Nazi leader.
The CNN anchor, on Wednesday, cited a “shocking” Des Moines Register/NBC News/Mediacom poll that shows 42% of the state’s likely Republican caucusgoers saying the GOP presidential frontrunner’s comment makes them “more likely” to support him whereas 28% said they were less likely and 29% said it doesn’t matter.
“So, a plurality of Republican caucusgoers ... say, ‘More please, I like this Hitler language,’” he noted.
David Frum, a staff writer for The Atlantic, told Tapper that Republican candidates have a chance to run the race they want to run.
“What you can know, the only thing you can control is the kind of candidate you are and if you lose, how you will look back on your loss,” Frum said.
