Jake Tapper Fumes After Son Accused of Being RACIST: ‘This is Why You F***ers are Losing’
Jake Tapper is currently in some weird vortex of incongruity with two competing realities struggling against each other.
This is going to be a wild ride… so hang on tight.
I’ll contend that both those realities may be simultaneously true in Jake Tapper’s perceived reality, at times.
On one hand, he seems to be having some sort of ‘awakening’, similar to that of many Democrats and liberals who, to varying degrees, shifted either towards President Trump or away from the Democratic Party recently (depending on how you want to view it).
On the other hand, he’s behaving like a man selling a book who wants to distance himself from the losers, and pretend he was siding with those who just wanted the TRUTH all along.
If you accept either premise without giving at least a nod to the possibility of the other, you’re at least half right — I guess?
But watching him try to figure out his place in the current environment is like watching a pig try to roll around in the mud, like it’s always done — except there’s no mud, just freshly poured cement.
And the more the pig tries to wallow, the quicker the cement dries, and the more frustrated the pig gets.
That’s a weird metaphorical parable, but then again… this is a weird topic.
Suffice it to say that Jake Tapper is incredibly interesting to try to figure out right now.
Here’s what happened.
Jake Tapper just went on a podcast called The Prof G Pod, and at some point during the discussion he is reminded of another podcast he was a part of.
He attempts to leave the podcast nameless, but the wizardry of the internet (thanks, Al Gore!) made sure he wasn’t successful.
And he re-tells a part of the conversation in which he’s explaining that his 15 year old son is in to gaming, playing football, and military stuff. He loves WWII, and wants to be a Cop.
Average 15 year old, if you ask me.
But then Tapper tells how the two hosts of the other podcast basically insinuated that his son must be RACIST since he likes / wants to be a Cop…
He ends up using the story to explain how out-of-touch the Democrats are with young people in America, and says he eventually realized ‘That’s why you f___ers are losing!’.
Here’s a clip of Tapper explaining this on The Prof G Pod:

Here’s where my earlier explanation of my nuanced approach to Jake Tapper comes in to play.
I think there’s a part of his impassioned storytelling that is TRUE — he really does think like that, and it doesn’t FIT with the Democratic Party… which is WHY THEY’RE LOSING.
Just like he said.
There’s another part of what he is saying that is absolute grandstanding, attempting to paint himself as the objective journalist while all the rest of the mainstream media and Democrats were complicit — except him.
Which is complete bs on one level.
But if you factor in the real shift that I contest is taking place in Jake Tapper’s mind… he likely FEELS like he really doesn’t belong to that group any more, because he’s admitting on some level that he doesn’t think like them.
At least, not fully. Not anymore.
He even CALLS the other podcast a “left-leaning” podcast, like any respectful CONSERVATIVE would refer to it.
And he explains how he got “dragged” through the comment section, according to the New York Post:
CNN anchor Jake Tapper recalled how a left-wing podcaster took a patronizing tone when he shared that his 15-year-old son wants to be a cop.
The unnamed podcaster implied that Tapper’s son was racist due to his law enforcement aspirations, something that left the CNN anchor stunned and feeling that was emblematic of why Democrats have been losing elections.
“Their joke was about my 15-year-old son, ‘Oh, how does he feel about minorities?’” Tapper recalled during an interview on “The Prof G Pod” podcast last week. “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—ers are losing elections.’”
So — is he playing the crowd to sell his book, or is he being genuine about how he sees the issues being discussed?
I believe it is BOTH.
Which is some really weird mix of SELF-DECEIT… and being more genuine than most.
Very weird. And… it gets weirder if you try to understand what actually happened on the first podcast he references.
The following is the actual podcast he references from about a month ago — the How Long Gone Podcast.
Here’s the full podcast, but I’ll set the embedded player to start at the 42:20 mark where the conversation turns to his son.
There’s about 2 minutes of conversation important to this story, centering around his son:
If you watched that section from the 42:20 mark to about 44:20, you’ll know that really isn’t a “serious” podcast.
It’s basically the current version of old school shock jock radio.
Imagine Howard Stern. They might hit on serious topics and issues… but the point is to get salacious and push the ratings up with scandalous content.
Jake Tapper should have expected them to joke — because that’s what they were doing.
They weren’t being serious in that moment; they didn’t REALLY think his son must be racist for wanting to be a Cop.
They were actually making FUN of Democrats… because that’s how the ‘woke’ crowd does think.
And although Tapper’s reaction was ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME as mine would have been in terms of that mindset — he CHOSE to take them seriously… rather than play it as the tongue-in-cheek joking that it was…
Because to him, the REALITY behind that joke is actually at the heart of his own existential crisis.
So while they joked, Tapper fumed, as explained in this report from The Independent:
Days after Jake Tapper fumed over a joke made about his teenage son wanting to be a police officer during an appearance on a “left-leaning podcast,” claiming it was the reason why Democrats are “losing elections,” the hosts of How Long Gone responded to the CNN anchor.
“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,” co-host Chris Black drolly noted. “He spun it for his own gain, and it’s working.”
Tapper, who is relentlessly promoting his book Original Sin, recently appeared alongside co-author Alex Thompson on Scott Galloway’s podcast The Prof G Pod to discuss their tome about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and the alleged “cover-up” of the former president’s health ahead of the 2024 election.
After Galloway said he agreed with Tapper “100 percent,” the State of the Union host continued to grouse about the comments made by the unnamed podcasters, suggesting that they spoke for the Democrats as a whole.
“He’s 15. He thinks about World War II and gaming and playing linebacker, that’s his world,” Tapper continued. “You’re deciding he’s a racist because he wants to be a cop. And why does he want to be a cop? He wants to be a cop because he wants to help people, you know, and he thinks that’s the best way he can help people. And that’s how the Democratic Party talks to men, not just white men, but men.”
At one point, after Tapper revealed that his son “likes the military” and “likes police,” co-host Jason Stewart quipped: “How does he feel about minorities?” Pausing for a beat, Tapper said “he’s pro” before moving on to a discussion about a text message his daughter sent him recently.
The interview would continue for another 25 minutes and concluded with the anchor expressing willingness to come back this summer to talk about his Biden book.
With Tapper calling them out on Galloway’s podcast, Black and Stewart responded during their latest episode of How Long Gone. Black, a “tastemaker” and brand consultant, kicked off the latest broadcast by jokingly referencing the Daily Mail’s headline.
Right off the bat, Black brought up the comments made on their show that Tapper is now outraged about, praising Stewart for telling a “really f*cking funny joke” about whether Tapper’s son liked minorities because he wants to be a cop.
The crazy part is… his response to the REALITY behind the joke is perfectly aligned with what my reaction would be, as a father of 5 and conservative man with a Biblical worldview.
And I don’t think Tapper is FAKING it — not entirely.
I think he really is identifying with that RATIONAL THINKING, partly as a result of his own (complicated) pushback from the Democrat Party and their complete lack of ‘connectivity’ to anything REAL, to put it simply.
Is he still conscious of the fact that he needs to sell his book, and that will go much better if he distances himself from the dissonant masses of the Democrats who are STILL somewhat determined to act like Biden wasn’t all that non-functioning?
Yes.
And for that… Jake Tapper sucks. He’s pretending he wasn’t in favor of concealing Biden’s true state, when he actively concealed Biden’s true state.
But I don’t think it’s all show, either. He’s mad (FURIOUS!) that his son, who is having very normal leanings for a masculine 15 year old boy… would even be JOKED about as being racist for having an affinity for law enforcement.
It really did make him mad. Mad enough… that he couldn’t even play it off, and take the joke.
Mad enough that 30 days later… he’s bringing it up, because he feels compelled to talk about it — to TELL someone.
You know how that feels. It’s what happens when you LEARN something.
When some bit of truth comes through… and you need to SAY it, TELL it to someone, to somehow lock it in place and make it real.
That’s what Jake Tapper is doing.
And in so doing… he is a perfect microcosm for so many Democrats who are just now realizing they don’t “think” like a Democrat — not like the Democrat leadership TELLS them they should think, anyway.
And maybe, they never have. Ever.
But now they’re realizing it. Their reality is breaking, or at least cracking.
And they don’t quite know where they fit any longer.
And that’s a good thing. It might just force them to think for themselves, for a change.
If that starts to happen — watch out!
That will be the END of the end of the Democratic Party as we know it, forever.
