Trump Ag Secretary Laughs After Jake Tapper Insists 'I'm NOT On The Left'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/06/2025 1:47:03 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Jake Tapper has denied being "of the left."

On Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Tapper, in a loaded question, asked Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins: "How long do you anticipate this tariff chaos is going to be going on? 30 days, 60 days, 90 days?"

In response, Rollins wryly responded:

"We're now two days in, right? You've got two days of data. Everyone, especially on your side, on the left, is freaking out."

Snapped back Tapper: "I'm not on the left."

That earned a sardonic laugh [see screencap] and "thank you" from Rollins.

So, Tapper is "not on the left." Really? Let's go to his record.

I’m sure in his mind he thinks he’s in the center.

“Market Meltdown”

It’s the media’s 2008 playbook all over again.

For those people, the world is neatly divided into two camps: Right Extremists (AKA Domestic Terrorist) and Moderates. Tapper thinks he’s a Moderate. If you disagree, you’re a domestic terrorist.

This doofus’s comment is an insult to our collective intelligence. I guess he was saying it for the benefit of CNN’s viewer. 🤷‍♀️

Tapper (and lefties like him) believe they *are* the center. That’s why they call those slightly left of center conservatives and anyone further right than that are “alt-right Nazis.”

These so called “journalists”, see themselves as being above the fray, above the political battles. They see themselves as some sort of impartial observers, oracles of wisdom, who will tell us what to think, who to like, who to dislike, etc.

They don’t see themselves as partisan at all. They think of themselves as completely non-partisan, as they analyze the political battles from on high.

Yes, many seem they are quite partisan in their commentary, but in their own opinions of themselves and their so called profession, they see themselves as wise souls who will tell us what to think .

Because just about everyone he knows agrees with him or is further left.

There’s a delay between the studio mic picking up the presenter’s audio, the remote interviewee’s speakers or headphones producing it, their response getting back to the studio and getting recorded there. If nothing else, it’s a lightspeed comms lag, plus whatever processing time is needed by the gear. I didn’t see the reaction as being outside of the window caused by that.

The heck with Tapper. What in the world is Senator Cruz doing feeding into the Democrat propaganda?

Why does this clown always looks constipated? He desperately needs to have a huge bowel movement.
