Clinton News Network edits Hillary's response to the bombings

The mainstream liberal media has once again revealed its scandalous bias by editing the news to fit their narrative. 

I used to respect CNN's  Jake Tapper, but when he asked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on State of the Union about the alleged contrast between Trump and Clinton regarding how they each responded to the Saturday explosions in Manhattan's Chelsea section, Tapper edited out Clinton's reference to "bombings" to slant the news and attack Trump.

Tapper cited Trump's use of the word "bomb" in New York, then played a clip of Clinton criticizing him for saying that. But he left out Clinton's reference, just seconds before her Trump attack, of her calling the attack "bombings." 

Below is Tapper's question for Gov. Christie, with the edited Clinton clip:

Tapper: There is a contrast, I would say, between how you're speaking about it and how Mr. Trump spoke about it yesterday. He's being criticized for talking about the New York bomb before local officials or local law enforcement had a chance to do so. He told the Colorado Springs crowd that "a bomb went off in New York, and nobody knows exactly what's going in"--that's really just a few minutes after the incident. And his opponent tried to draw a contrast. She waited hours later, until local officials spoke, and then she said this:

Clinton (clip): I think it's important to know the facts about any incident like this. I think it's always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions.

Tapper: As a general note, do you think politicians should wait until more information comes in, and should they defer to local officials and investigators? Isn't that what you do as the governor of New Jersey?

No mention made of Clinton's referring to it as "bombings."

Pants on fire

When Clinton spoke to Liz Kreutz of ABC News and other media minutes after the attack, the exchange went like this: 

Clinton: I've been briefed about the bombings in New York and New Jersey, and the attack in Minnesota. Obviously, we need to do everything we can to support our first responders, also to pray for the victims. We have to let this investigation unfold. We've been in touch with various officials, including the mayor's office in New York, to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation. And I'll have more to say about it when we actually know the facts.

Liberal Reporter: Secretary Clinton, do you have any reaction to the fact that Donald Trump immediately, upon taking the stage tonight, called the explosion in New York a "bomb"?

Clinton: Well, I think it's important to know the facts about any incident like this. That's why it's critical to support first responders, the investigators who are looking into it, trying to determine what did happen. I think it's always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions because we are just in the beginning stages of trying to determine what happened.

Later in the same program, Tapper introduced Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) by playing the full clip without the editing of the word "bombings." And Tapper never asked him about whether Clinton's remark, (i.e., calling the incident "bombings") was appropriate.

Unfortunately, Christie didn't pick up on the edit and the subject wasn't discussed.
