VIDEO EXCERPT: My son is now 15 years old, and he's a gamer, he's a football fan -- starting linebacker on his varsity football team.
The Democratic Party has no way of communicating with him. They have no entry into his world [...] he wants to be a policeman.
I went on a left-leaning podcast ... And their joke was about my 15-year-old son: "Oh, how does he feel about minorities?"
Like the idea that because he wants to be a policeman, it therefore means he's a racist: my son. And like, you know, that was the big laugh. And then I got dragged in the comments, and all that stuff.
And I thought to myself: This is why you are losing elections.
My son, who has no political views [...] wants to be a cop because he wants to help people ... And that's the way the Democratic Party talks to men -- not just white men, but men...
COMMENT: Nah, Tapper is not defecting. Aside from the intent of constructive criticism, it's akin (on the other side) to an old guard Republican being disgruntled about Trump populism taking over the party. In this case, how since 2017 it fully crystallized for Democrat nobility that the working class is the primary source of the social problems that the Party detests and is self-righteous about. Which requires the necessary incongruity of still trying to court the proles in the red and purple states, while at the same time having to heavily lecture, ridicule, and rebuke that working class (for the sake of maintaining virtue credence).
