With President Donald Trump’s most controversial senior adviser, Steve Bannon, out of the White House, many people who don’t like Trump couldn’t contain their excitement on Friday. CNN host Jake Tapper had a stark reminder for those celebrating: Trump didn’t offer implicit support to racists this week because of Bannon. Trump revealed his true colors long before Bannon joined his team, Tapper argued. Bannon’s hands aren’t clean either, Tapper said, pointing to the former White House adviser’s work in formulating Trump’s Muslim travel ban and pushing to target undocumented immigrants. “None of that is to excuse or make any judgments at all about whatever advice Bannon gave Mr. Trump once he came on board,” Tapper said.
