CNN’s Jake Tapper is trying to sell quite a story with his book. 

Rather than focus on Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, there’s a narrative about how someone failed to grasp the severity of Biden’s situation, allegedly misled by assurances from Biden’s team that all was well. This explanation is met with skepticism by many. 

There are numerous individuals on the left who are upset with him for penning the book, clinging to a mindset that insists on defending Joe Biden no matter the circumstances. I observe left-wing individuals voicing their discontent with him on various platforms. Consequently, he finds himself with critics from both political spectrums. 

Last week, Tapper appeared on “The Prof G Pod” podcast with Scott Galloway. One of the subjects discussed was the issue the Democratic Party faces with male voters. Tapper recounted a story about the reaction he received from a progressive podcaster when he mentioned that his 15-year-old son aspired to become a police officer.

“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, he’s racist, my son. And like, you know, that was the big laugh.

Then I got dragged in the comments and all that stuff and, and I thought to myself, ‘This is why you f****** are losing elections.

“You” keep losing elections, not “we.” He’s distancing himself from Democrats. 

Tapper said his son had no political views: He thought about football, World War II, and gaming. He wants to be a cop because he wants to help people. 

“And that’s how the Democratic Party talks to men,” he continued. “Not just white men, but men.” 

He mocked the Democratic usage of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz “because he hunts, and fishes, and drinks a beer” to talk to men as “insane,” although he noted at least they “tried.” Did he say that when Walz was running during the campaign? 

“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 after a clip of Tapper’s jab went viral. “He spun it for his own gain, and it’s working.”

The podcast aside, I do know that the Democratic Party’s issues and their bad take on men have been out there a long time. When they’re spending $20 million on a study to try to figure out how to talk to men, you know there’s a problem. Even the Obama bros were calling out the problem of the people, and not just men, moving away from the Democrats to the “Trump Coalition.”
