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

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.

Yeah....-and fascism is a right-wing ideology. Just to the right of Stalinism.

What Cruz said was nominally true. I’d like to see context. If he finished with “This will be a dynamic process, and the tariffs will drop sharply in short order,“ I have no problem with it. The Dems are gonna cherry-pick anything a Republican says that sounds like it contradicts DJT’s policues.

That is well said. See him on the intro to Warroom - a perfect match to your post.

Jake Tapper has denied being "of the left."

There are also 'men' on the left who pretend they're women.

And women on the left who pretend they're empathic and caring - and male liberal 'journalists' who think they're 'in the middle'.

Democrats are strange people.
