A Retrospective Of CNN Debate Moderator Jake Tapper

Posted • June 25, 2024: Donald Trump agreed to the Biden campaign's conditions for debates, which included that they are on networks friendly to President Joe Biden like CNN, ABC, and Telemundo and that Trump's microphone be cut off when Biden is speaking. We can complain about how Trump's debate on CNN will be three against one, but Trump agreed to debate anytime, anywhere. As we've been reporting Monday, CNN's Kasie Hunt cut off Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt when Leavitt brought up CNN moderator Jake Tapper's anti-Trump statements. She justified it by posting that when you come on her show, you respect her colleagues … period. (Does that include Jeffrey Toobin?) Leavitt had said that Tapper had compared Trump to Hitler, and as we reported, Clay Travis brought the receipts: “Here are Jake Tapper & Dana Bash, the two CNN debate “moderators,” comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler. CNN cut off Karoline Leavitt this morning for rightly pointing out their bias and that they had done this before.”

That's the same Dana Bash who recently claimed she'd never talked to a Democrat who supported abortion up until delivery. Meanwhile, all of the Dems, including Biden, are using the Dobbs anniversary to campaign on restoring Roe v. Wade. This editor is almost certain that Tapper's first question to Trump will be if he believes Biden won the 2020 election fair and square. Tapper has no patience for election deniers (except for regular guest Stacey Abrams). Grabien Media's Tom Elliott put together a retrospective of Tapper letting his bias slip. -- Jake Tapper has always been a far-left partisan. In August 2020, Tapper asks fellow liberal Democrat Charlie Dent, "Is it possible the Republican Party is now the party of deranged bigots?" https://rumble.com/v53hpdn-flashback-of-jake-tappers-dem-partisanship-is-the-republican-party-the-part.html

Tapper is an anti-science mask shamer: CNN’s Jake Tapper & Dr. Sanjay Gupta go after S. Dakota’s Gov. Kristi Noem for saying she doesn’t want to “shame” people into wearing masks. Tapper: “That’s an odd message.” - Gupta: “I’ll never understand” why people don’t want to wear masks. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1321556634674581504/pu/vid/720x400/YLrhz6aOCbaYYIkc.mp4 -- In August 2019, Tapper asks fellow liberal Democrat Beto O'Rourke: "Do you think it's racist to vote for President Trump?" https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1805298171142086656/pu/vid/avc1/720x400/_dXfP20B65uw0b1_.mp4 -- Beto O'Rourke always makes us laugh. -- Tapper is a 1/6 Truther who pretends MAGA "terrorists" nearly seized control of the United States: CNN’s Tapper: Today’s “the anniversary of a day that threatened to end the American experiment in many ways.” -- January 6 "threatened to end the American experiment."

Tapper, a professional fear merchant, went ballistic after Trump posted an optimistic tweet about Covid: Media lose their shit over Trump's optimistic Covid tweet. Tapper thought Elon Musk should be compelled to help Ukraine launch an offensive attack inside Russia: CNN's Jake Tapper to Blinken: "Should there be repercussions for … capricious billionaire" Elon Musk not offering assistance to a Ukraine military operation? https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1700886957344116737/pu/vid/avc1/720x406/8ueWESfQHQWzpw0v.mp4 -- In furtherance of his 1/6 Trutherism, Tapper refused to ask a single journalism question to Ray Epps' attorney: CNN's Jake Tapper, who plays a journalist on TV, scored an interview w/ Ray Epps' lawyer, but unfortunately rather than use the opportunity to do reporting & ask questions of public interest, Tapper spent the entire 5 minutes performing anti-Fox News agitprop.

Tapper mocked Canadian truckers protesting for their freedom -- Progressives: Smash this workers revolt! -- GoFundMe canceled a fundraiser for the truckers, banks froze their accounts, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked a war powers emergency act. (…)
