Tapper and Murtaugh then clashed over and over, breaking into each other’s remarks. When Tapper conducted yet another analysis of Trump’s “very fine people” comments after the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville in 2017, Murtaugh shot back: “I’m not going to relitigate.” “Right,” Tapper hit back, “because there were none. That’s the point.” That prompted Murtaugh to launch into a long harangue about Biden’s record on racial issues in the 1970s, during which he refused to concede any airtime to the CNN host. “Okay, you know what,” a visibly frustrated Tapper finally said, shuffling his interview notes with a grimace on his face. “I’m not Chris Wallace.” And with the sarcasm in his voice plainly evident, Tapper sl
