'Am I hallucinating?' CNN's Dana Bash has a legitimately surprising take on Donald Trump's COVID19 response [video]; UPDATE: Bash addresses her critics

We joke a lot about looking for our shocked faces, but this time, we might actually need them.

On CNN today, Dana Bash had … nice things to say about Donald Trump’s current handling of the COVID19 crisis:

Dana Bash just called Trump's tone "remarkable" and the kind of leadership we need during a crisis and said his recent pivot was "pretty incredible." pic.twitter.com/kXx2Uv0L4m

Stranger things have happened, we suppose.

Hope Bash knows what she’s in for now …

CNN's Dana Bash is talking about how Trump is becoming the leader Americans lead because he isn't completely denying the existence of a pandemic, because he has "a tone of calm, and understand how dire this is." Dana Bash is evidently insane. The lowest possible bar.

Update:

Bash is still getting, well, bashed for praising Trump’s leadership:

Here is the clip of @DanaBashCNN praising Trump because he’s now screaming at reporters and going on absolute tantrums like he normally does.

I feel like I’m living on another planet.

For what it’s worth, here’s how she responds to her critics:

As I said in the clip you posted below, this is a moment to be non-partisan, American and human – & the TONE the president set at today & yesterday's PRESSERS were remarkably different and welcomed. That's a fact. Let's all take a breath and remember we are all in this together. https://t.co/bx9uLuvkOI
