This is an utterly ridiculous thing to say - completely untethered from observable empirical reality, just purely a “Nothing matters but the mandate to normalize and accommodate Trump in power” moment.

Jake Tapper: "It's important to point out that the Trump/Vance campaign in 2024 was a very disciplined campaign ... [it] was within the realm of normalcy." (They lied about Haitian migrants eating pets.)

Did Tapper not see the Trump Rally at MSG? If that was disciplined, I would hate to see chaos.

juliadilliard.bsky.social•37 days ago

The realm of normalcy? It was way out on the far borders of the realm if so.

bobisjim.bsky.social•37 days ago

Remember back in 23 when CNN did that townhall with Trump and it was a disaster but people like tapper and Cooper were telling you not to believe what you just saw

It was always gonna be this way

montysmom.bsky.social•37 days ago

@cnn.com has become full pro-fascism.

marksmit.bsky.social•37 days ago

💯

elroy1313.bsky.social•37 days ago

He danced on stage for 45 straight minutes to his personal "Hits list". Now that's focused and normal

nananva.bsky.social•37 days ago

Ugh. What do they have on Jake? I never thought he'd flip.

ronniebrady.bsky.social•37 days ago

Well, to be fair, that is normal for them.

osgoodfielding.bsky.social•36 days ago

He’s just trying to excuse his weak and inept coverage of the horror that is Trump.

becca4democracy.bsky.social•36 days ago

OK, now I believe in POD PEOPLE. What else could explain the new flip flopping policy of mainstream media? BTW, mainstream media is dead to me! Thank goodness for BlueSky and other forms of media who still believe in free speech and the TRUTH!

brownejax2024.bsky.social•37 days ago

there is a special place in hell for this dude.

mountainman14.bsky.social•37 days ago

They were complicit in 2016 and are again now. I've boycotting them and others should join.

wikisteff.bsky.social•37 days ago

Well said.

archeo-peterix.bsky.social•37 days ago

Tapper is as stale as a can of 6 day old piss. His turn is coming 👍

lizsan.bsky.social•37 days ago

They LIED about everything
FELON 47

hazmatcorntail.bsky.social•37 days ago

I listened to the whole clip in the vain attempt at finding some clarity in those ellipses, but nah. He straight up sanewashed the campaign.

scoundrel2.bsky.social•37 days ago

shame on you jake

dee7777.bsky.social•37 days ago

Jake Tapper is basically a CNN corporate puppet. Zero journalistic integrity.

paulapooh.bsky.social•37 days ago

The only way they could say he seemed normal is if they are brainwashed magats as well..or their billionaire bosses brainwashed them, or paid them well enough. The fat orange criminal is a chronic liar, so who in their right mind would believe him. Should have challenged him, brought truth to light

bwbsky.bsky.social•37 days ago

Jake Tapper has been drinking the kool aid too long.

nicolekidmansnose.bsky.social•37 days ago

Jake Tapper used to be a serious journalist but a decade at CNN melted his brain.

volkerball.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sad that going around telling that Nazi poem comparing immigrants to snakes is considered within the range of normal.

thefool37.bsky.social•37 days ago

They have also continued to peddle a Big Lie that everyone knows is a Big Lie as if this were the Soviet Union. NOT NORMAL. NOT NORMAL.

jamieosy.bsky.social•37 days ago

And they called Harris trash and told her to go to hell. F*uck you @jaketapper.bsky.social

ggpsbdpmm.bsky.social•36 days ago

The talking heads are totally self absorbed.

nparoubek.bsky.social•37 days ago

This is why I stopped paying for directTV, no point in any MSM anymore 🤠

gordonvincent.bsky.social•37 days ago

Jake Tapper, licking Nazi boots, live.

elidelajandro.bsky.social•37 days ago

When you remember the corporate media Weekend at Bernie's that fat orange bastard across the finish, you realize there is no bottom.

bobyost.bsky.social•37 days ago

Jake was/is either totally stupid or totally stoned. Little children probably recoil if he attempts to interact with them.

bradlvy.bsky.social•37 days ago

It definitely kept the crazy Q annon people away

dietotaku.bsky.social•37 days ago

man remember when Tapper was like the hero of no-bullshit Republican takedowns? Seth Meyers used to play clips him shutting down right wingers & say "YOU JUST GOT TAPPED!"

now he's just another mouthpiece for the Turd Reich. every word of that quote is a lie.

thunder1008.bsky.social•37 days ago

NOTHING about ANYTHING related to the Orange Overlord is normal! Does @jaketapper.bsky.social really believe that it is?

johnvanadakelley.bsky.social•37 days ago

Trump spent 12 minutes talking about Arnold Palmer’s dick at one rally and 40 minutes swaying to the song Ave Maria, at another. You know, normal campaign stuff.

monataylor1.bsky.social•36 days ago

Fuck off Jake trapper

psumom1.bsky.social•37 days ago

OMFG

selsworth4.bsky.social•37 days ago

CNN. Can Not Nope

foundlingstein.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yeah, fellating the mike, swaying mindlessly to the Donnie playlist, whizzing around the tarmac in a garbage truck, all very disciplined!

billfantastic.bsky.social•37 days ago

So restrained

dravloc-900ce.bsky.social•36 days ago

He also lied about late term abortions and kids returning from school a different gender. Can’t remember much he didn’t lie about. So disciplined.

burienwino.bsky.social•37 days ago

CNN is complicit

kim65.bsky.social•37 days ago

And just like that

lynnsbestlife.bsky.social•37 days ago

I can't f**cking believe this day! What a sh*t show we are already living through

jamesschilf.bsky.social•37 days ago

what the fuck did he just say
hey buddy fuck you and the horse you rode into town on
maybe not the horse ,wasn't his fault

ravenna321.bsky.social•37 days ago

I have a feeling he's regretting this already. And shame on him if he's not.

aekellner.bsky.social•36 days ago

Please Tapper explain what you mean when you say normalcy. Because I don’t know what campaign you were watching.

debcc.bsky.social•37 days ago

Is pretending to perform oral sex on the microphone considered to be within the realms of normalcy for a presidential candidate?

patrickmoffatt.bsky.social•37 days ago

Shill Tapper

glitterninja.bsky.social•36 days ago

Jake Tapper is very kind to fascists. He fully supported Andy Ngo and claimed Antifa routinely attacks and injures journalists. Tapper later quietly deleted a couple of the more egregious pro-Ngo tweets, because he is a coward.

Tapper never should have been celebrated as a liberal hero.

hufflepuff66.bsky.social•37 days ago

They've moved the chains on normalcy... obviously.
