CNN's Jake Tapper Attacks Joe Biden For 'Scolding' The Unvaccinated

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

CNN’s Jake Tapper slammed President Joe Biden on Friday for “scolding” people who refuse to be vaccinated, apparently excusing their behavior because they’ve been lied to.

Biden took off the gloves on Thursday and went after the baselessly unvaccinated for blocking the nation’s chances of finally freeing itself from COVID-19.

“Our patience is wearing thin,” Biden said. “A distinct minority of Americans supported by a distinct minority of elected officials are keeping us from turning the corner,” he added. “These pandemic politics are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die.”

But Tapper insisted: “I don’t think scolding is the approach. There are these purveyors of misinformation out there, and they’re not just on the right.”

1. Scolding isn't the answer? How about dropkicking?

Yeah tapper make sure you both sides it. Sorry “the left” is not putting out misinformation about the virus. Who is this “the left” they keep talking about. They just made up another side to counter the right wing nuts.

2. Who cares what you think, Jake? Also, be serious.

[treestar]

3. Reason hasn't worked

they are acting like children - parental behavior is called for.

4. disease spreaders should stick together in their own zone nt

5. Democratic politics is aimed expressly at not offending Republicans, while so....

I'm always struck by how much media coverage and Democratic politics is aimed expressly at not offending Republicans, while so much of Republican politics is expressly about offending Democrats and the media. It's the worst—and most self-destructive—asymmetric political warfare.

6. Then do YOUR job, Tapper, and expose those lying to the unvaccinated

for political or financial gain.

Media has the biggest role, but, wants to redirect blame away from themselves.

[whathehell]

16. Bingo!..We have a winner!

[Joinfortmill]

7. We don't care what you think.

[Treefrog]

8. Apparently plenty here do.

There’s been a Tapper thread almost every day lately.

9. I've lost a lot of respect for Jake since the Afghanistan withdrawal

[SoCalDavidS]

10. Ditto, Won't Watch His Show, Or Leave CNN On During Day Anymore

I'm usually not there, but my dog didn't like Jake anymore either, and I want to keep him happy. 'Cause he's a Good Boy.

28. Dogs know best

[uponit7771]

26. He was one of the most over the top blamers of Biden. You'd think Biden killed 500k Americans by ...

... lying about the lethality of a virus.

[mcar]

29. He was so good during TFG years

Now he's just a tool.

[Haggard Celine]

11. The people who believe that bullshit gravitate toward

misinformation. They turn away from any sort of reasonable news sources because they believe they are all mouthpieces for the Democrats, who want to take away their religion and guns and make them have abortions and turn them gay.

They have to believe the worst about the Democrats because they need someone to blame for all of their failures in life. If they don't have a job, it's because the Democrats are giving all the jobs away to minorities, and so on and so forth. The Democrats are the Great Satan that they're doing battle with so they can make the country a great place to be white again, where good jobs can be had without any education or training or effort put forth to make themselves ready.

And the vaccines must be resisted because the Democrats want them to have them, and that's reason enough, but they also believe people are being poisoned by the vaccines and having trackers implanted and a host of other things. They believe this shit because they have to. If they don't, their twisted world comes apart, and they're forced to accept responsibility for their lives.

12. Tapper drew one of the "Both sides" short straws at the ratings meeting? nt

[cadoman]

13. Jake has gone insane -- do they have something on him?

He used to be one of the most objective reporters out there. I have to think someone has got some dirt on him for him to be reporting in this manner.

We need to immediately ramp up mandates while the public supports us on it. Any delay on mandates risks people imagining things are back to normal. You can already see people risking their health to celebrate "muh freedumb" at games and concerts.

If Jake is compromised he needs to step aside. The stakes in the war against fascism are too high.

[mzmolly]

14. I think everything else

has been tried?

[Mr.Bill]

15. No, Jake,

This is someone scolding the anti-vaxers:

[Xoan]

17. War is a thing, Idiocrats.

Best listen to our CIC.

[rickyhall]

18. Slapping, spanking, what?

[liberal_mama]

19. Maybe Joe should throat punch them instead

At this point, anti-vax covid-spreaders should not be allowed to go on airplanes, in grocery stores, sporting events, movie theaters ect. If anything, Joe is being far too easy on these Covidiots.

I turned the Buffalo Bills football game on for a minute to see the stands and the stadium is packed! I'm pretty sure there is no mask or vaccine requirement to attend the game. Our county just had 300 new cases in one day and school just started 4 days ago!

As an immune compromised person, my life will never be normal until they get this pandemic under control. I'm so sick of people rubbing the bellies of these ignorant losers.

[samnsara]

20. the un vaxxed are lucky that we (the vaxxed) dont kidnap them and haul their...

buggy asses to some leper colony in the pacific

[boston bean]

21. Jake scolding Joe isn't helpful.

Stop with your scorning tapper.

[Owl]

22. I don't watch Tapper anymore as it's a waste of time.

[applegrove]

23. Did they tell Jake Tapper "there would be room for him on the spaceship"?

What gives?

[Skittles]

24. SICK of being told I need to play nice with people who don't care about ANYONE

SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!

[PCIntern]

25. Everyone in Philly who knew him thought he was a jerkoff

His father was a hot shit doctor here, and the roads were paved for him. The smartest thing he ever did was date Monica Lewinsky Before the White House debacle and then the rest was history. Yes, that’s how he first got noticed. He was the resident expert, I believe on ABC news, about Monica.

[Goodheart]

27. "and they're not just on the right.'

Is that right, Jake? By all means, tell us who on the left is spreading misinformation, and about what.
