Who as South Carolina governor banned the accomplice flag from statehouse grounds, and Ali is making the racist cost that she’s a mouthpiece for white supremacy? That’s past the pale! One notable exception right here, Jake Tapper referred to as this out on his CNN present. Nearly everybody else within the media? Crickets!
