Tapper posts gif after exchange with Moore aide: 'The Mo' You Know'
BY JOSH DELK - 12/12/17 07:27 PM EST
CNN anchor Jake Tapper posted a "The Mo' You Know" gif Tuesday night after interviewing a Roy Moore campaign aide who fell silent after being told that the Christian Bible was not the only book that could be used under U.S. law to swear an elected official into office.

During an interview hours earlier on CNN's "The Lead," Moore spokesman Ted Crockett tried to defend the former Alabama judge's past comments that Muslims cannot serve in Congress because they cannot "ethically" be sworn in using a Bible. Crockett rebuffed Tapper's point that "you can swear on anything really," saying he has sworn on a Bible three times.
"I'm sure you have. I'm sure you've picked a Bible. But the law is not that you have to swear on a Christian Bible. That is not the law," Tapper went on, at which point Crockett remained silent.
Moore previously took issue with Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the first Muslim elected into Congress, swearing in on a copy of the Quran owned by Thomas Jefferson.
