Watch CNN's Jake Tapper debate Kellyanne Conway over Trump's stance on white supremacy


CNN's Jake Tapper and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway couldn't quite agree on what they were talking about during Conway's appearance on State of the Union Sunday.
Tapper initially asked Conway if, following Saturday's shooting at a synagogue in Poway, California, President Trump still does not consider white nationalism a rising threat around the world, as he claimed following the shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March.
Conway, though, took the question and went back in time, arguing that Trump had long ago condemned white nationalism and white supremacy following the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, during which a neo-Nazi killed a 32-year-old woman. Conway said Trump's initial response was twisted by the media, who only focused on the president saying there "were very fine people" at the rally on both sides, rather than his full message which Conway said was an unequivocal condemnation of white supremacy.
