Jake Tapper: Foole



Vincent J. Curtis

31 Oct 2016


For some inexplicable reason I watched Jake Tapper on CNN this Sunday morning, and caught his interview with the lovely Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s campaign manager.

In the course of the interview, Tapper played a tape of a man chanting at a Trump rally and asked Conway to denounce him, a tiresome and pointless media trick.

The rally was chanting “U-S-A! U-S-A!”  The man, who was in the back row, turned to the media at the back of the room and showed he was wearing a Hillary T-shirt.  He chanted towards the media, “Jew-S-A! Jew-S-A!”  Apparently.  I could hardly tell.

When Conway asked Tapper why he required her to denounce the man, Tapper replied with the well-known (!) association of the alt-right with Trump, and his failure to denounce them.  Conway, rather than make a fuss, proffered the required denunciation.

It hadn’t occurred to Tapper that perhaps the man was an agent-provocateur of the type uncovered last week by James O’Keefe of Project Veritas, a Bob Creamer special.  One of Hillary’s disavowable paid agents.  Why else would he make a spectacle of himself to the media at a Trump event?  What’s with the Hillary T-shirt?  Why did arrange himself so conveniently for the media to see him?

Besides, Trump is well-known as being pro-Israel; it is the left-wing progressive Democrats that have a problem with Israel.  Why would a supposedly pro-Trump alt-right movement do something to embarrass Trump?

It makes no sense.  Why would Tapper think that Trump was somehow responsible for this man?

The Black Lives Matter movement is a hate movement.  It hates cops and has called for cops to be killed.  And Hillary panders to them.  Has Tapper called on Hillary to denounce the extremists in her party, such as Black Lives Matter?  I don't think so.  What we have got from Hillary are excuses that the Black Lives Matter movement has a point.

Tapper gets this week’s media Foole award, so spelt in honor of the late comedian George Carlin.  Carlin intended to be funny.  Tapper is funny without intending to be.
