CNN‘s Jake Tapper revealingly referred to the network’s viewers as “our voters” in a Pravda-like segment talking up Vice President Kamala Harris‘s “appeal to Gen Z” on Monday. Harris, who turns 60 in October, has been aping the style of 31-year-old English singer Charlotte Aitchison, a.k.a. Charli XCX, on social media.
Charli XCX, a Millennial, had posted that “Kamala IS brat” on X (formerly Twitter). “For the record, I was tipped off about this, what I’m about to share with our voters, er, our viewers, rather, by my 16-year-old,” Tapper said of Harris “leaning into” being “brat.”
Jamie Gangel, who will shortly turn 70, explained that “brat” is “a cool thing” characterized by a particular shade of green. Gangel said Charli XCX defines “brat” as “You’re just that girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes.”
“So is the idea that we’re all kinda brat, and Vice President Harris is brat?” asked Tapper, 55. “I will aspire to be brat.”
Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, described the segment as the “cringiest thing I’ve seen in my life,” adding that Tapper’s reference to CNN viewers as “our voters” seemed Freudian.
Don’t you love when he Freudian slips to “our voters” and no one bats an eyelid?
