Plot Twist: Dana Bash Says Kamala’s Schtick Is Repetitive Enough For A ‘Drinking Game’

CNN anchor Dana Bash laid into Vice President Kamala Harris during a Wednesday panel discussion, saying that some of the Democratic presidential candidate’s talking points were repetitive enough to inspire a “drinking game.”

Bash used a clip of Harris talking about her plan to create what she calls an “opportunity economy,” saying that one only had to listen to the number of times Harris repeated the phrase “small business” to get the point she was making.

“When you listen to Kamala Harris and what she will do, you can almost start a drinking game every time she says ‘small businesses,'” Bash said. “Let me give you an example.”

She then played a clip in which Harris said the operative phrase twice in under 20 seconds.

“Describe the politics of that,” Bash said, turning the floor over to the panel.

“Well, she says that, and she also talks about being a middle class kid,” Semafor’s Dave Weigel replied. “That’s also at the front of her answers. If you look at the interviews they’ve been doing with local media, and they’ve opened up a bit more since the debate, the first question is often, ‘What are you going to do to lower prices?'”

Weigel noted that that question in particular was a “very hard question for an incumbent party to answer,” adding, “It has implications that are very Trumpian. Trump says he’s going to do mass deportation, that will decrease demand. Trump says he’ll explore more energy, that’ll decrease energy costs.”

“Democrats can point to the fact that inflation is actually — it was bad two years ago, it’s not now — but what people want to hear is how do you make the prices go down,” he concluded, arguing that Harris ultimately “doesn’t have an answer” to that question.
