BASH: What's the crime?
AG TODD BLANCHE: What's the crime? Well it depends. There *could* be a crime. But the real wrong here is that Alaskans are gonna be confused.
BASH: The Alaskan Supreme Court ruled 4 months ago on this matter
She is a fucking HERO! A woman who refuses to be silenced, who uses her powerful voice to speak truth to power and stand up for whatโs right. Fearless, unapologetic and absolutely formidable! ๐๐ฅ
Muslims didnโt storm the Capitol on January 6, try to steal an election, or overthrow our government.
White Christian nationalists, racist militia groups, and rabid Trump supporters did.
We need to stop pretending the biggest terrorist threat to this country is coming from somewhere else.
THIS IS HUGE: Dana Bash just pressed Todd Blanche on whether Trump is laying the groundwork to overturn the election, and the attorney general lost his cool
Dana Bash asked the question a lot of Americans have been waiting for someone to ask, and Attorney General Todd Blanche came apart on live television.
On CNN's State of the Union on Sunday, Bash pressed Blanche on the Justice Department's lawsuit to block certification of the Alaska Senate race if the Republican doesn't win, according to Mediaite. It's a lawsuit Trump himself said was filed at his behest.
Bash pointed to Trump's Truth Social post claiming Democrats are trying to steal the seat. She told Blanche the president was admitting it's political, and she asked him straight out whether he sees his job as helping Republicans keep the seat.
Blanche didn't have an answer. He snapped back that Trump wasn't admitting anything and that the president is supposed to make sure everything in the country is running right.
So Bash widened the lens.
She reminded him that just a couple of days earlier, Blanche himself had used the phrase doomsday scenario. Then she asked the question out loud: are Trump and the Justice Department laying the groundwork for a scenario in which Trump tries to overturn the election, with a result that could look like what the country saw after January 6th?
Blanche exploded. Oh, stop it, he told her. You are not being a real person. Come on man, that is crazy.
Bash didn't flinch. It is not crazy, she said.
Blanche insisted the department was only worried about fraud in Alaska. Bash answered him calmly: I wish it wasn't a real question.
She kept going anyway. If you're laying the groundwork for the president to try to overturn an election he doesn't like, she said, there is concern.
That's the job. A powerful official didn't want to hear it, and she asked it again until he had to respond.
Dana Bash did what the best journalists do. She asked the question the attorney general didn't want to answer, and she didn't back down when he got angry.
That is what real journalism looks like.
Trump has no clue what he's doing!!! Itโs not just Americans who suffer under Trump - the rest of the world is paying for his lunatic mistakes! #PedoDistractions
Hillary Clinton: 'when we finally see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported uh Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about trump'
Anthony Davis: โWho exactly are this 31% of Americans who think this lazy tyrant, this dollar-store dictator, this narcoleptic nincompoop is doing a good job?โ
