CNN Star Flays Trump for Banning Network in a ‘Tantrum’

Jake Tapper had a blunt message for Donald Trump after the president announced he was banning CNN from the White House: “It’s not going to happen.”

The CNN anchor dismissed the move as an “unconstitutional tantrum,” accusing Trump of trying to “distract” the public and press from a steady stream of bad news surrounding his administration ahead of the midterm elections.
