As we read this post from Jake Tapper about the horrific scenes of antisemitic harassment at Columbia/Barnard, we can't help but wonder why he felt the need to put the word horrific in quotation marks. Call it what it is, Jake.
Terrifying. Unacceptable. And yes, horrific.
It's ok to be honest, bro, especially when the harassment really and truly is horrific. Then again, his audience probably thinks it's wrong to stop the pro-Hamas protesters from tormenting Jewish students so he's probably playing it safe.
Maybe?
Take a look.
Many people seemed to notice the same thing we did, the quotation marks.
Why do that? Inquiring minds want to know.
See?
Makes ya' wonder, don't it?
This is an apple.
Remember that?
Heh.
Jake did explain why he used the quotations:
Then why not use the entire quote? Why just that one particular word?
Eh ... we shall see.
