As a former press secretary to a Democrat Congresswoman and a gun control group,CNN host Jake Tapper’s political bias is abundantly clear.
But with CNN executives looking to reestablish its credibility by ditching left-wing propaganda, the long-time talking head is apparently trying to win over conservatives.
And Jake Tapper put jaws on the floor when he called out Democrats for making racist attacks against this one Republican.
Racist Democrats
Since former South Carolina Governor and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley announced that she is running for President in 2024, Democrats have simply hit her with the same racist attacks they’ve hurled at every Republican person of color for years.
The chorus of racist Democrats have undoubtedly been led by The New York Times’ Wajahat Ali, who accused the Indian-American Republican of using her “brown skin to launder” white supremacy.
“She uses her brown skin as a weapon against poor black folks and poor brown folks, and she uses her brown skin to launder white supremacist talking points,” Ali said on MSNBC. “And the reason why I feel sad is because no matter what she does, maybe, it’ll never be enough. They’ll never love her.”
Haley is also being attacked for having the audacity to go by her middle name, Nikki, rather than her birth name, Nimarata.
And in what was undoubtedly an uncharacteristic move, CNN’s Jake Tapper actually called out the Left’s racism towards Haley.
While highlighting the “very ugly side of the Left,” Tapper pointed out how hypocritical it is for Democrats who lost their minds whenever someone used Barack Hussein Obama’s full name to now be using Haley’s Indian heritage against her.
“These are the same people who objected whenever Republicans would say Barack Hussein Obama,” he said. “I mean, there is a very ugly side of the Left that comes out when Nikki Haley runs for office.”
Even more surprising than Tapper’s comment, though, was the fact that his guests, including former Clinton strategist Paul Begala, adamantly agreed with the host.
“I think the fact that she got to be the Governor of South Carolina with brown skin is a very impressive accomplishment, and I don’t think it’s something people ought to be attacking or ridiculing her about,” Begala said. “Let’s just take her based on her ideas. And I might not like them as a Democrat – but I think it’s a terrible thing to say about her.”
On top of that, Tapper also rightly pointed out that Democrats’ racist attacks were merely “in-kind contributions” that would ultimately benefit the Republican Presidential hopeful.
Just following orders?
While his brief moment of honesty was welcomed by every American outside the radical Left, Tapper also put a bigger target on his back after defending Haley.
It’s obviously no secret that the folks over at CNN are struggling to keep the lights on, as their profits are plummeting in light of the fact that the network’s ratings are some of the lowest it’s experienced over the past decade.
As a result, CEO Chris Licht is in the process of rebuilding the network’s “talent” and program lineup in order to supposedly restore CNN’s credibility by ditching left-wing propaganda.
He’s reportedly directed CNN producers and on-air “talent” to tone down their left-wing bias and try to be a legitimate news outlet – a directive some believe Tapper has taken to heart.
To be perfectly clear, it’s not like Jake Tapper suddenly pulled a 180 and began challenging the so-called “mainstream” narrative crafted by Democrats.
But leftists seem to think he has.
Left-wing radicals have called out the CNN host in recent months for saying President Joe Biden should have invited Donald Trump to join the American delegation attending Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, for cutting off and correcting a Biden official who claimed skyrocketing gas prices were Putin’s fault, and even for having the audacity to share an article written by a supposedly conservative New York Post columnist.
That led one source to explain to the New York Post that Tapper is “very ambitious” and “very hard-working” with a “healthy ego,” and is therefore simply “trying to survive” by “kowtowing to his bosses.”
“This isn’t journalism; this is pandering to the new boss,” a CNN viewer allegedly wrote to Tapper on social media. “I assumed you were one of the good ones.”
Of course, the idea that Jake Tapper is just “kowtowing” to his supposedly new right-wing bosses at CNN due to a handful of instances where he didn’t follow the Democrats’ playbook is utter nonsense.
After all, Tapper has had plenty of opportunities to call out racist Democrats for similar attacks on Nikki Haley, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, former Republican Presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, and many others.
But every single time, he’s simply kept his mouth shut and/or followed right along with Democrats’ attacks.
It’s great that Jake Tapper took a stand on this one occasion.
But make no mistake, he’s simply doing whatever he’s told to do by whoever has more control over him at that given moment.
