CNN’s Dana Bash had a mini meltdown on the air today while citing statistics that show how many people in Michigan said that they won’t vote for a Muslim. She was genuinely angry and even called it ‘gross.’
Can anyone imagine her showing this kind of outrage if she was talking about leftists who would never vote for a Christian? Of course not.
Naturally, this is all really about Abdul El-Sayed and the panic of media liberals who are realizing that he might lose that race and keep the Senate in Republican hands.
During a panel discussion on the U.S. Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, Bash noted, “We have new data about that that I do want to get to. First, let’s just look at the overall polling that Erin, you were talking about. There’s a brand new poll out from The Washington Post this morning that shows El-Sayed at 48, Rogers at 45. With the margin of error, it’s a statistical dead heat.”
“And then the question, which kind of goes to the strategy here, perhaps, by some voters who are thinking about the balance of power in Washington: ‘What is your preference for party control in the US Senate?’ Democratic, 53. Republican, 45,” Bash said, adding:
Now let’s get to what you were just talking about, Nia. “Would not consider voting for a presidential candidate who is…” Atheist, 46%. Muslim, 45%. Jewish, 20%. Christian, 7%. These are Michigan voters, the people who are going to go to the polls to decide between Rogers and El-Sayed. 45%?…
“Well, yeah, I mean, he did — he did one time. Now he’s trying to distance himself-ish. It’s one thing to sort of suggest that; it’s another thing to say — to have respondents from this poll, 45% say they would not consider voting for a Muslim. First of all, it’s just gross, right?” Bash added.
Watch the clip:

This is the media panicking because Democrats might not win the Senate.
For all of Dana Bash’s outrage, that’s all this is.
