Online posters are still laughing at CNN’s Jake Tapper’s ‘white’ lie about the January 6 pipe bomber suspect. Brian Cole Jr. is certainly a blacker shade of pale. This isn’t the first time the legacy media has purposely ‘flubbed’ the race of someone accused of a crime. It happened in July when ‘journalists’ stated the Midtown Manhattan mass shooter Shane Tamura was white (see pic after video). He’s clearly not. This ‘mistake’ has become so common that posters can’t help but laugh about it.
Here’s Tapper with the latest example. (WATCH)
Jake Tapper identified the J6 pipe bomb suspect as a “30-Year-old white man.”

How does this keep happening?
We’ve heard of off-white, but this is getting ridiculous. (WATCH)

Tapper deserves all the ridicule he’s getting right now.
Commenters have seen this pasty phenomenon playing out in other places as well. They brought receipts.
These are some of the blackest White dudes I’ve ever seen in my whole life. pic.twitter.com/cmf7nw6l6M

Had to clean my glasses twice, but Yep…..white.

I can barely tell they’re white.

They’ve just been tanning a lot lately, man 😂
— The Conservative Alternative (@OldeWorldOrder) December 5, 2025
That’s got to be it. Everyone knows how easily white people tan.
Posters say these ‘mistaken’ identities are like a Netflix adaptation.

Ah, just like the SUV driven by infamous white NFL star O.J. Simpson all those years ago.
Guess we should add this to the growing list of obvious things CNN and other networks can’t recognize.

@jaketapper also self identifies as a journalist

Why do they do this? These are white people at CNN. Why can’t they see the picture we see? 🤔

They’re even better at showing us what a women looks like.
— Terry Murphy (@ok2amurph) December 5, 2025
Makes sense if you think about it, these people also don’t know what a woman is, why would we think they know the difference between black and white people.

And yet they are upset when being called fake news media.
— Leif Paulson (@leif_21) December 5, 2025
Yep, they’re all fake news, and the proof is right there in black and white.
