Maybe change really is in the air at CNN. It was just a joke about Michelle Obama’s gender reveal, but Jake Tapper quoting 1984 in the context of Democrat tactics is more surprising and for real:

Tapper called out the Democratic Party for engaging in a “discernible pattern” of lying to the public. He argued that party officials want Americans “to not believe what you saw and what you heard with your eyes and with your ears on Thursday night.”

Tapper correctly pointed out that this Orwell quote applies to their attempts to deny Biden’s senility even in the aftermath of his debate performance:

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

Before long, Tapper and his audience will figure out that this applies just as well to everything Democrats demand we believe, from trans men being women to privileged identity groups being oppressed to their spending being sustainable to hurricanes occurring because taxes aren’t high enough.
