LOL: CNN's Jake Tapper Claims 'I'm Not on the Left'

CNN has long established itself as a left-leaning cable news network, often indistinguishable from Democratic party talking points.

The same goes for almost all of their hosts.

But CNN veteran Jake Tapper now expects us to believe that he's not on the left.

He actually said this.

Fox News broke it down, "CNN host Jake Tapper refused to be labeled a member of 'the left' in an interview with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on Sunday about the fallout from President Donald Trump's tariff plans."

The report continued, "So how long do you anticipate this tariff chaos is going to be going on? Thirty days, 60 days, 90 days?' Tapper asked Rollins on 'State of the Union."

"I think it's really important to realize that last Wednesday was when the president announced this new American order, the new American economic plan," Rollins said. "We‘re now two days in. You‘ve got two days of data, everyone, especially on your side, on the left, is freaking out."

That's when Tapper said it.

"'I'm not on the left,' Tapper quickly said, prompting an amused response from the Trump Cabinet official. 'All right, Jake, thank you,' Rollins said."

Of course people were going to laugh at Tapper's claim.

And they did!

He even said it with a straight face.

One X account spliced together Tapper saying "I'm not on the left" with video of him clearly saying many left-wing things.

Totally neutral.

Best joke of the day.

Fox News also noted, "Tapper, who has been a CNN host since 2013, has faced criticism from conservatives for being overly hostile to Republicans and Trump over the years, but he's been defended by the network as an impartial journalist."

"Impartial."

RIGHT...
