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.

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