Dana Bash did double duty on Sunday. Not just hosting CNN’s State of the Union—but serving as a Biden campaign surrogate, too! Bash began by confronting her guest, South Carolina Republican Senator Tim Scott, with a Biden campaign ad attacking former President Trump on race.
[When’s the last time Bash used a Republican attack ad to put a Democrat on the spot?]
When in response, Scott alluded to accusations Kamala Harris had made against Biden on issues of race during the 2020 presidential election cycle. “[H]is own Vice President, Kamala Harris, said he supported segregation,” he recalled.
Bash rose to Biden’s defense: “Senator, just one thing, on the Kamala Harris: you were talking about when they were running against each other for the nomination. I’m just giving context to our viewers of when it happened.”
Translation: What Kamala said then…
