chunk of his answer:
“well jake, i’ll tell you this, there’s always room in the tent for folks. and i’m for human rights, i’m for equal rights to peace, dignity, and self determination. whatever you think about the right of israel to exist, i wonder if they have a right to our tax dollars. and here’s the thing about it, every time i come on CNN, you guys ask me the same questions about these theoretical rights of existence or whether i agree with the mayor of NY. i’m running for senate in michigan, and in michigan, people can’t afford their basic needs. they don’t get the healthcare they need and deserve. they’re worried about the quality of their kid’s school. and the question seems less to be about the interest of michiganders than the fact of something happening 6,000 miles away. i’m running for michigan senate and i want our tax dollars spent in michigan on our schools and on our healthcare…”
fuck cnn.
I saw another clip of him earlier and he’s such a great speaker and communicator. Clear and direct. More people need to learn to direct the conversation like this!
Jake Tapper is just doing his best audition for the Adelesons. The guy has no integrity and is just another grifter.
As a Michigander in his district- I’m so excited to vote for him! I’ve been following him since he was running against Big Gretch for governor. He’s the real deal.
Good ol’ Centrist Neoliberal News.
Mainstream “media” should just accept its true nature and call themselves mainstream propaganda atp. Just look at Tappers face , he knows how right Abdul is and how his questions are asked in bad faith
Zionist Jake Tapper
He & Mamdani are both really good at redirecting shit questions to communicate their messaging & refocusing interviews on how they can serve their people. They shouldn’t be getting these shit questions in the first place, but they seem very unfazed by them.
dems do everything in their power to keep the status quo then get suprised when they lose. it happened with hillary it happened with kamala itll happen with stevens if she wins the primary. cnn can whine about trump winning but they are just as guilty of putting him in office as the rnc
Oop this guy said my name ain’t fucking Mamdani what you asking me that for, haha much respect man, call this joker tf out!
Do we think Jake Tapper also enjoys being a corporate propagandist? Or is it just for monetary reasons?
Tapper really didn’t like that comment about equal rights
El-Sayed is great at taking back control of conversations. His interview with Matt Bernstein for ‘a bit fruity’ is really interesting if anyone wants to know more about his policies and his campaign for Michigan.
Like a boss.
Thinking trump would do anything that benefits anyone but himself is the issue here.
