Of all the things that matter about Wednesday’s tragic shooting deaths of two children in a Minneapolis church, CNN’s Jake Tapper decided to focus on the trans shooter’s pronouns. Posters were expectedly angry.
Here’s Tapper putting his foot in his yapper. (WATCH)
NEW - JAKE TAPPER: We need to make sure we use the correct pronouns for the Minneapolis Catholic church sh-oter.

Oh I'm sorry, did we not treat the child murderer with the proper level of courtesy?

I cannot imagine saying this and taking myself seriously.

He has the worst takes on the news.

‘Bad Take’ Tapper has a nice and appropriate ring to it.
Posters wish Tapper and his fellow talking heads would try journalism for a change instead of pushing Democrat nonsense like transgender pronouns, especially for murderers.
A deranged lunatic goes and kills kids at a Catholic school and Jake Tapper's priority is to indulge his gender dysphoria.

So, a mentally ill man shoots up a school and CNN wants us all to know what his preferred pronouns were. You can’t make this stuff up.

So Jake Tapper wants to make sure we all get Robert Westman‘s pronouns correctly because it is super important to get this murderer’s handle right now that he’s dead.

Gotcha.
I can make this clear that he now identifies as
Was/Were. pic.twitter.com/8EfUEM68vO
Exactly!
Commenters say that Tapper is just continuing his Democrat Party’s disastrous trend of taking the losing side of a political or cultural issue.
The sick Demonrats created these monsters from innocent kids by poisoning them with lies , puberty blockers and foreign hormones that drove them insane! And it starts with the sick teachers in our own schools who told them they weren't good enough as God made them. Arrest them !

Democrats, once again, are choosing the wrong side of the issue once again .
— Tim (@Dragonboy155) August 28, 2025
In most cases, they take the 20% side of the 80/20 issue, but in this case, they are on the 5% side of a 95/5 issue.
They still believe that if they treat this 'trans' phenomenon seriously, that they can normalize it. They can only believe that if they keep their heads inside a Blue Media Bubble, because outside that bubble, it ain't workin'.

Only CNN could look at a massacre and think the shooter’s “feelings” matter.

Oh, it’s not simply confined to CNN. All the legacy media outlets are having difficulties framing this story for fear of upsetting the transgender community’s pronoun army.
