To be clear: the Republican guest said Abdul El-Sayed goes to bed in "Bin Laden's jersey" and CNN host Dana Bash said nothing, not a word of condemnation of her Republican guest - only the Democratic guest Guy Cecil pushed back, on his own.
At the end of the segment, Bash said she "appreciated" the Republican guest coming on. Is it because she shares his bigoted view of El-Sayed being a Bin Laden sympathizer?
Either way, it's insane how normalized the Islamophobia has become on mainstream cable news.
CNN's ‘Inside Politics’ panel on Wednesday blew up when former NRSC director Jason Theilman echoed Louisiana GOP Senator John Kennedy, saying that when El-Sayed “goes to bed at night, it looks like he’s sleeping in Bin Laden’s jersey,” which was followed by brief outrage from Dana Bash and former DSCC director Guy Cecil.
At the end of the interview, Bash thanked Cecil for freaking out and telling the Republican, “you’ll apologize later,” and said, “I think it was important what you said.”

Georgia Gov. candidate @KeishaBottoms (D) on opponent Rick Jackson's (R-GA) immigration scandal involving immigrant nurses: "The irony is unbelievable, that he would stand and talk about human trafficking when he has been accused of human trafficking."

I don’t know the value of posting on these platforms anymore but I still do when I have a moment of joy or extreme grief. Yesterday, while our politicos were fighting over influencers, this news from Ohio hit as hard as history. I teared up for this beautiful Haitian kid who died in pain over the cruelty of our State. I teared up at the horror of his death and at the impotence of leadership. The debates we’re having are small, petty, and utterly disconnected from the inhumanity of the moment.
