CNN anchor Jake Tapper referred to the Washington, D.C., pipe bomb suspect as a "White man" Thursday during his coverage of the breaking news, shortly before airing the man's picture that showed he was Black.
Brian Cole Jr. of Woodbridge, Virginia, was arrested Thursday nearly five years after he allegedly placed pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters in Washington, D.C., on the eve of the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill.
Tapper kicked off Thursday's installment of "The Lead" by addressing the arrest.
