The liberal website Crooks and Liars is trying to stir up trouble over Nikki Haley wishing “Jewish Host Jake Tapper” a Merry Christmas at the conclusion of her segment on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday morning:
Trump UN Ambassador Nikki Haley Wishes Jewish Host Jake Tapper A 'Merry Christmas' https://t.co/8wvrIm0Xej

Wow. This could be one of the dumber things we’ve read in some time:
This is a very stupid attack, @jaketapper wished her A Merry Christmas & she wished back the same.
We’re 100% sure that @jaketapper took no offense. https://t.co/bYNhUsPwGR

Jake Tapper himself weighed in saying he didn’t take any offense at the remark:
This is correct; I not only didn’t take offense, I took @nikkihaley’s “Merry Christmas” in the spirit it was intended, spreading cheer and good wishes, as I intended it to her. ? ? ? https://t.co/UFfczeVrDT

But Nikki Haley did wish Tapper a Happy Hanukkah in a later tweet:
Happy Hanukkah @jaketapper. I️ hope you have a great holiday season!

So, we’re good now, right?
And Merry Christmas to you and yours, Ambassador Haley! Best wishes to the Haleys for 2018! ?
