Heh. Jake Tapper having to squirm as Shapiro is being discussed:

PHILLIPS: And I think ultimately, Shapiro, I think fit is important, but, you know, I also think when you look at the principle of "do no harm," maybe they did say in a state like Minnesota, do we want to, there were 100,000 uncommitted voters who came out about the Gaza war, do we want to antagonize those voters? Those are part of the question as well.

TAPPER: Can I just say...

CORNISH: Tim Walz also spoke conciliatorly towards those people. He said, look, that uncommitted vote is significant, and those people should be heard. So having that kind of response, I think, is probably more of an open door to the parts of the party that have been very frustrated with the Democrats.

Tee, hee.

TAPPER: So, but, just to, just to, one point on the Gaza war. Shapiro has the same position on Israel that Gov. Walz, that Sen. Kelly has. He's actually been more critical of Netanyahu than the other two, but, he is Jewish.

CORNISH He's also the face of the crackdown on the protests, right? He spoke very vehemently about those protests as being antisemitic.

TAPPER: Not all of them. The ones that were antisemitic he criticized for being antisemitic.

CORNISH: Of course, but he was out front on the issue. So, I'm wondering if that's the kind of thing, again, for the activist wing of the party was a slap in the face.
