Jake Tapper shocks Jimmy Kimmel by defending Fox News' Peter Doocy against Joe Biden: 'I will say, standards for decency don’t have to do with whether or not you like the people that are being treated poorly'
“There’s old snarky malarkey, we’ve been wondering where he was!” the late-night host exclaimed with a smile.When Kimmel asked Tapper if his life is “boring” now that Donald Trump is no longer president, the CNN host replied, “No, the current president just called someone a dumb son of a bitch today.”“I don’t think any president should be calling any journalist a dumb son of a bitch,” Tapper answered. “And to be fair to Peter Doocy, the question was fairly anodyne.
“Wait a minute,” Kimmel pushed back, “Fox News says that you’re on Team Biden and you are a mouthpiece for the Democrats and yet here you are defending Peter Doocy, who as far as I have been able to tell, is indeed a dumb son of a bitch.” Unmoved, Tapper told Kimmel, “I do not agree with that. And I will say, standards for decency don’t have to do with whether or not you like the people that are being treated poorly. It just has to do with the standard. And yes, I recognize that Peter’s channel probably would never come to my defense like that, but it is what it is.”after the incident, Kimmel joked, “I’m sure Trump did that though.
