Jake Tapper, the CNN host who promoted false Democratic talking points about Joe Biden's mental acuity before writing a best-selling book about the "cover-up," slammed his beloved political party this week for behaving like a bunch of woke scolds who are obsessed with racism and routinely denigrate normal men. Tapper discussed his belated epiphany—many years after the Democratic Party started hating men and denouncing everything as racist—on a podcast with tech baron Scott Galloway, recounting his appearance on a "left-leaning podcast" where one the hosts made a "joke" about how his teenage son might be racist because he wants to be a police officer.
"They asked me about my son, and I said he's a football player and he wants to be a policeman, and their joke was, about my 15-year-old son, 'Oh, how does he feel about minorities?' Like the idea that he wants to be a policeman, therefore he's racist, my son," Tapper recalled. "That was the big laugh, and then I got dragged in the comments and all that stuff, and I thought to myself, 'This is why you fuckers are losing elections.'"
Tapper argued that the liberal podcaster who joked about his son being a racist—since identified as Jason Stewart, a semi-professional DJ and cohost of the How Long Gone podcast—had exemplified "how the Democratic Party talks to men." Indeed, they have been doing this for quite some time before Tapper decided to notice. "Like, my football playing son, who has no political views, he's 15, he thinks about World War II and gaming and playing linebacker. That's his world. You're deciding he's a racist because he wants to be a cop," the journalist said. "And why does he want to be a cop? He wants to be a cop because he wants to help people."
CNNStewart's cohost, fashion consultant Chris Black, praised the "really fucking funny" quip about Tapper's son hating minorities, and accused the CNN host of having no sense of humor. "Him willfully choosing to take a joke wrong, that he definitely knew what it was in the moment, I would say is only a pro move," Black said. "He spun it for his own gain, and it's working."
It's true that Tapper's book tour has involved a significant amount of spin, largely in an effort to absolve the mainstream media for playing an active role in the cover-up of Biden's decline. Prior to the launch of Original Sin, the notoriously thin-skinned journalist enlisted the help of crisis communications expert Risa Heller, who has advised an array of notable perverts including Zoom masturbator Jeffrey Toobin and dick-pic freak Anthony Weiner. Tapper's coauthor, Alex Thompson of Axios, recently said that even the White House aides orchestrating the Biden cover-up were shocked by the media's willingness to play along. "We were sort of amazed at some of the stuff we were able to spin reporters on," a source told Thompson at the time. The quote does not appear in Original Sin, which does not make a serious effort to examine the media's crucial role in the scandal.
Alas, Tapper is unlikely to reflect on the media's role in perpetuating the Democratic Party's radically antagonistic attitudes toward police officers and young men who enjoy football and war. CNN in particular has been one of the party's most reliable allies in promoting the woke views that Tapper finally claims to realize are obnoxious and condescending. Cool epiphany, bro. Thanks for noticing.
