Having not seen the uncut original, I have no idea if Jake Tapper was really "speechless" after this. It seems like every other video clip nowadays has a promo code of "Watch ___ be dumbfounded after ___ puts them in their place". It's a tiresome bromide, and 75% of the time neither the host slash interviewer nor the guest was having an attitude spell about anything.

VIDEO EXCERPT: I've known Karen Bass for a long time, and I think she is a very nice person. I know her well, and I think her heart's in the right place on most things, most of the time. But I'm not comfortable with the things I've heard her say since this took place. I spent an hour with Governor Newsom a week ago -- Monday, I believe I was talking with him. Both of them have made it clear that they don't support what's going on...

[...] These are two elected officials that took an oath to support the constitution and to enforce the laws. But yet they don't seem initially to have been doing that.

[...] Nobody questions the humanity of most of the people that have come across the border. Most of the people, at least in my experience and what I've seen, are not criminals. They're not dangerous, vicious, violent criminals.

[...] The Hispanic population historically is very family oriented, they're very church oriented. ... But that doesn't make them immune from the law. The law is not optional, it's not a suggestion. You either enforce it or you don't.

And if you don't like the law, and if it's flawed, then change it. Those protests need to be on Capitol Hill.

You don't need to be vilifying the officers on the street, the ICE agents, and throwing rocks at their heads. [...] 48% of the border agents are Hispanic. They don't get a vote about this stuff. If people don't like the laws, change them.
