“Well, I just played it for you but let’s move on,” @jaketapper says to Alex Azar who refused to comment on the white power video

Jake Tapper plays clip of a Trump supporter chanting “White Power!”
Tapper: I’m stunned Trump would tweet that. I assume that that’s not a message you stand by.
HHS Sec. Alex Azar: I haven’t seen that tweet.
