CNN host feigns ignorance when Tulsi Gabbard tells her she’s now on domestic terror watchlist

September 2, 2024 | | Print Article

A CNN talking head opted to just play dumb when confronted by former Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, who pointed out that the Biden/Harris administration had put her on a domestic terror watchlist.

Gabbard, who is now part of former President Trump’s transition team, went into the lion’s den at CNN and sat down with an evidently clueless Dana Bash.

The former Democrat first tore into Vice President Kamala Harris and her dishonest political stances. She’s more interested in winning through gaslighting Americans than she is in telling the truth it would seem.

“What I pointed out in that debate stage in the 2020 campaign was her hypocrisy. It was how she was saying one thing and doing another, how she was prosecuting people for smoking marijuana and laughing about it when she was asked about it on a radio show,” Gabbard explained.

“And I think this goes to the heart of many of these different issues that we’re seeing now that Kamala Harris is trying to hide from voters is how she says her position is one thing, but her actions and her record show exactly the opposite,” Gabbard pointed out.

Harris has flip-flopped on numerous issues and in some instances she has literally taken Trump’s position trying to pass it off as her own. These include things such as fracking, taxation, the border, and crime. Gabbard hammered her over it especially when it comes to freedom of speech and being put on a terror watchlist as some kind of political retaliation.

“And you can point to that on issues related to the economy, issues related to freedom of speech. She says she stands for freedom of speech. And yet as we’ve seen time and time again, her and Joe Biden have taken actions both directly and indirectly to censor free speech,” she noted.

“Most recently, I can point to my own experience of this, of how the Harris Biden administration have added me to a secret domestic terror watch list,” Gabbard contended.

“The very day after Kamala Harris was endorsed by Joe Biden and I was on TV and warning the American people about what I saw as the dangers of a Kamala Harris presidency taking action that was clearly political retaliation,” she asserted. “They’ve done this to a lot of different people which points to how dangerous it is to have people in power, so willing to abuse that power to go after political opponents.”

Then Bash proceeded to pretend she had never heard of the watch list. Being in the news business, that is either a flagrant lie or she is very, very bad at her job.

“I’m not familiar with the secret terror watch list. We’re definitely going to follow up on that,” Bash disingenuously stated before changing the topic.

Bash, at that point, turned to the media’s favorite topic of the week… Trump at Arlington National Cemetery.

Gabbard did not witness the so-called shoving event. She was also told that the Trump campaign had received permission to bring a camera for the occasion, according to Fox News.

“I checked with the campaign on this question, and they have exchanges with the officials at Arlington Cemetery. They were approved to bring a camera there to document this historic and momentous day that should not be forgotten by any American,” she told a disappointed Bash.
