CNN’s Jake Tapper Rips Staff Over ‘If Jews Are People’ Headline

“That chyron is unacceptable and I immediately called my staff to convey that,” host of “The Lead” tweets

CNN’s Jake Tapper is on vacation this week, but noticed on Monday that his show ran an on-screen headlineย that read, “Alt-Right Founder Questions if Jews Are People” which madeย the Jewish anchor “furious.”

“I’m furious about that chyron and my staff has heard from me. Unacceptable,” Tapper tweeted.

Chief security correspondent Jim Sciutto anchored “The Lead” in tapper’s absence when he reported a quote by National Policy Institute president Richard Spencer that said, “One wonders if these people are people at all, or instead soulless golem.”
