CNN’s Jake Tapper skewered for calling black DC pipe bomb suspect Brian Cole Jr. a ‘white man’ on air

CNN anchor Jake Tapper was ripped by critics Thursday after he wrongly referred to accused DC pipe-bomber Brian Cole Jr. as “a white man.”

Tapper made the cringeworthy gaffe while discussing the arrest of Cole, who is black, during his opening segment on “The Lead.”

His “white man” comment came at 5:01 p.m., around the time CNN was the first outlet to publish a photo of Cole’s face that originated from the suspect’s mother’s Instagram account.

Cole’s father is also black and once enlisted the services of Ben Crump, an attorney best known for his racial discrimination cases.

Viewers were stunned by Tapper’s misrepresentation of the alleged pipe bomber. *** Conservative influencer Nick Sorter accused CNN of pushing “anti-white rhetoric.” ***

1) I’m beginning to think that people of Tapper’s ilk are genetically predisposed to lie.

2) Well, if a man can transition into being a woman by wearing lipstick,then a black man can transition into being a white man by committing a crime.

3) Here is a picture of an inveterate liar and “a White man:”

That was no gaff. That was the planned CNN narrative from day one. Blame “whitey”, Blame MAGA.

The dumbass simply read the script and refused to OPEN HIS EYES!

Tapper isn’t inept. He intentionally lies with zeal and chutzpah.

I’m beginning to think bidens fbi knew who it was all along and covered it up because he WAS black and it didn’t fit the leftie narrative.

How else could it go on for FOUR whole years and then Trumps fbi get to the bottom of it in such a short period of time?

IIRC, I don’t think Tapper was the only one. (But I could be wrong.)

It’s hard for leftists to let their agenda go.

Think back to the “white Hispanic” invention back when Saint Trayvon of the Purple Drsnk got himself killed by attacking the wrong guy.

I don’t see where there could be any plausible deniability in that but they sure would, even if it’s not really there.

The MSM just cannot help themselves. It’s as natural as breathing to them.

They just cannot pass up any opportunity to blame a white man for a crime,

just as they cannot pass up an opportunity to hide the race of a black man committing a crime.

You can’t blame them, it’s in their DNA!

Well, if a man can transition into being a woman by wearing lipstick, then a black man can transition into being a white man by committing a crime.

....and a speedboat loaded with drugs can transition into a fishing boat.
