In a rare moment of candor, CNN's Dana Bash is calling out what many have long suspected: Democrats are increasingly willing to overlook personal scandals if it means holding or flipping power in Washington.
Heck, we saw this firsthand in Virginia when Democrats elected Jay Jones even after he was caught texting openly about shooting a Republican in the head and wishing for his kids to die.
And they elected him as the 'top cop' of the state.
Yeah.
Graham Platner has been engulfed in controversy after reports revealed he sent sexually explicit text messages to multiple women who were not his wife—messages his own wife flagged to campaign staff shortly after he launched his bid. The revelations have complicated Democrats’ already narrow path to regaining control of the Senate in what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive races of the cycle.
Not to mention his Nazi tattoo and ugly, sexist, bigoted comments on Reddit.
If CNN is calling them out? Hrm.
Watch:
When the epiphany finally hits it hits hard: when you realize that the Democratic Party, you’ve been supporting and shilling for are all about power and control and don’t give a shit about ethics! pic.twitter.com/0oPHWEtaVj

Did not have this on our Bingo card today but ... yeah. This is actually pretty cool.
Just a few years ago, the network noted, Democrats would have engaged in public hand-wringing, openly questioning whether the candidate truly represented party values. Now, the focus is laser-sharp on electoral math. The piece compared the approach to the one Donald Trump has used for years—standing by flawed candidates because winning matters more than purity tests.

Rumor has it that even more damaging oppo is due out any day now... we shall see.
Love how she refers to the Democrats as if she isn't one. Come Election Day, she'll vote Dem straight ticket like she always has.

Sadly, he's probably right.
