DANA BASH (CO-ANCHOR): Can we just cut through to what it is? It's not about the media not reporting on immigration. This is something that is racist. This is a racist meme. The reason why we are covering the memes isn't because we're covering the underlying allegation about immigration. What we are covering are allegations --
JAKE TAPPER (CO-ANCHOR): Republican public officials lying.
BASH: Lying, but lying also suggesting that people of color are eating your pet. That's racism.
