Recently, feminist activists protested outside the home of CNN anchor Jake Tapper over his purported support for Israel in the ongoing conflict with Hamas. Members of the grassroots feminist organization CODEPINK stood outside Tapper’s home, shouting at his family.
“One of the most negligent, pathetic, complicit, cowardly, lying, and cruel reporters on the CNN team is none other than CNN anchor Jake Tapper,” one woman exclaimed through a microphone, disturbing the peace in the quiet neighborhood. The group then said in unison, “Shame!”
Tapper was further accused of propagating “Israeli propaganda,” where the activists blasted him for refusing to label the Israel-Hamas conflict a genocide against Palestinians. “He has spewed endless lies of Israeli propaganda and refuses to outwardly call the death and destruction on the people of Gaza a genocide committed by none other than the fascist Israeli state,” the woman continued.
Eventually, authorities arrived on the scene to prevent any illegal actions from the CODEPINK protestors. At one point, Tapper’s children taunted the activists by playing the national anthem, triggering backlash from the feminist group.
“We hope you’re proud,” one person said. “You may be laughing now, but one day, you will realize the damage that your dad has caused. And I promise this big house will be worth it,” an activist told the CNN anchor’s children. “You’re waving and you think it’s really funny, but the truth is is that it’s really sick. Okay, you should walk away,” another woman said.
As one of the family members opened their garage door, trying to go on about their life, an activist shouted, “Your dad is a war criminal … your dad is lying and killing.” The protestors charged Tapper with refusing to report accurately on the conflict in the Middle East.
“On May 6, 2024, at the height of the student encampments across the country … on October 19, he claimed that the Israel bombing of Al Ahly hospital was a myth even though there was clear evidence of the attack, including pictures of children missing their limbs and videos of dead nurses, doctors, other healthcare workers, and civilians,” one person said.”Tapper has no problem saying the war in Ukraine is a genocide, but refuses to define the atrocities in Gaza as a genocide.” Watch the clip of CODEPINK outside of Tapper’s home below:
Another woman continued, “If you were a real journalist you would be honorably reporting on the devastating murder, the targeting of your contemporaries, your colleagues in Gaza who are bravely putting their lives on the line every single day to share the news, to share with people what the state of Israel is doing. You would be reporting on them, you would be memorializing them. If you are a real journalist, if you had any.
The popular conservative account on X Citizen Free Press uploaded the footage to social media, writing, “Code Pink freaks target Jake Tapper at his home over Israel. Tapper’s kids play the national anthem. Coke Pinkos do not enjoy hearing anything patriotic.”
