House Minority Whip Steve Scalise is calling on CNN anchor Jake Tapper to apologize for a comment he made about disabled veteran Rep. Brian Mast’s “commitment to democracy.”

“That was a disgraceful comment,” Scalise told Fox News on Thursday. “Jake Tapper needs to just apologize and admit what he said was wrong. I’m dear friends with Brian Mast. Brian last night went to Walter Reed Hospital and worked out with wounded warriors.”
