CNN anchor Jake Tapper argued the left’s reaction to him revealing his 15-year-old son wants to be a police officer is the exact reason they are losing elections.

Tapper and his Original Sin co-author Alex Thompson joined Scott Galloway on The Prof G Pod on Thursday, and Tapper at one point recounted how a left-leaning podcaster made a racism jab about his son after Tapper revealed he wanted to go into law enforcement.

“My son is now 15 years old, and he’s a gamer. He’s a football fan, starting linebacker on his varsity football team. The Democratic Party has no way of communicating with him. They have no entree into his world,” Tapper said during a discussion on the Democratic Party’s struggles to reach young men.

After you decide you no longer have any interest in hearing what this fool says, how do you get less interested?

Someone got their wires crossed.

What his son said was that he wanted to be the "cop" in the Village People.

It’s very possible Jake Tapper is going through a red pill experience...

We need to rethink condemning him. His comments about his son show insight and sensitivity... NOT what we would expect from a liberal.

Might be time to welcome Tapper into our MAGA family.

He's trying to sell his book. A book about how the Biden administration completely hood-winked pure, honest, objective journalists like him. In order to get people to buy his book, he needs to pretend to be objective. He needs to pretend he wasn't a willing accomplice of the Biden administration. Hence, appearances in Megan Kelly's show and stories like this one about his son. I don't buy any of it for a second.

He’d probably become a RINO at best, but maybe that’s good enough.

Tapper is putting on an act. I’m still not going to buy his book.

[BipolarBob]

I wanted to be the lineman or maybe the cowboy.

Tapper would vote for Biden next election if he was on the ballot.

[Az Joe]

Double tap on Tapper?

I don’t believe Tapper. Telling a tale that his son wanted to be a cop to boost his book sales to conservatives is like me saying my son wanted to be a ballerina. If his son ever did say he wanted to become a cop, I’m sure he would have disowned him by now

Probably better than being a democrat...
