What question was Booker asked that Blow took offense to? Tapper explained:
I asked which proposed gun laws might actually have had an impact on preventing a gun violence tragedy. https://t.co/TJ3SVGYYkD

One thing’s for sure: The Left got upset with Tapper because they don’t want to admit that there’s a simple answer to his basic question…
