Tapper: Men Only Toby Keith Concert Is Very 11th Century

‘That is just rampant discrimination against half the population’

EXCERPT:

TAPPER: "Congressman, let me — there is something that is kind of a bee in my bonnet about this trip so far, there’s a lot of bees in there, but one of them specifically has to do with this men’s-only concert. This is not a criticism of President Trump. He did not organize this concert. There’s a men’s-only concert. Toby Keith and others performed — I mean, are we supposed to as Americans just sit back and look at this and say, sure, just half the population is not allowed because this extreme version of Islam says that men and women cannot co-mingle and, therefore, women can just not attend this music concert? It is just very like 11th century. And I’m having a tough time — like, I think we kind of just take for granted, 'Oh, that’s how they do things there.' That is just rampant discrimination against half the population."
