Angry Ed Schultz Rips Into Jake Tapper for Mildly Questioning Liberal NYC Mayor

[See video cross-posted at NewsBusters.] MSNBC anchor Ed Schultz, who has previously frothed over "bastard," "slut," "dirthole" conservatives, on Thursday attacked Jake Tapper for offering a mild critique of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio's inauguration. During the ceremony, speaker after speaker slammed the outgoing Michael Bloomberg, comparing the city under his tenure to a "plantation." On his CNN program, Tapper pointed out that political leaders often use inaugurations to "reach out to critics, to reach out to those who maybe didn't vote for him. This was not that." This innocuous statement caused Schultz to mock, "If Jake Tapper thinks a man who was elected with 70 percent of the vote for making income inequality the centerpiece of his campaign was wrong for talking about it, he can keep on pretending."
