Dana Bash Admits Democrat Men Are Not ‘Testosterone-Laden’ In Accidental Roast
During the third night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, CNN veteran Dana Bash inadvertently roasted her own party, focusing on the contrast in the Democrat definition of masculinity.
Amid the Democrats’ convention, Bash praised the party’s strategy of showcasing figures like Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and “Second Gentleman” Doug Emhoff as paragons of modern manhood, yet her words seemed to reveal more than intended.
“They are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, you know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC,” Bash said.
“And that’s something that they really are trying to work on with male voters beyond the base,” Bash continued, reinforcing the idea that the Democratic approach to masculinity is a calculated strategy rather than a genuine representation of their male base. Whether intentional or not, the admission plays into a narrative embraced by many on the right—that the left shuns traditional masculinity.
WATCH:
Conservatives have long criticized the left’s stance on masculinity, accusing Democrats of promoting a version of manhood that aligns with more passive and less confrontational traits. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage at the DNC Thursday night, pitching her agenda and future plans to the electorate.
Campaigning today, former President Donald Trump took a swing at Harris, criticizing her track record and accusing her of failing to deliver on her promises. Independent hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is rumored to be bowing out of the race today, with insiders buzzing about a potential endorsement of Trump.

What’s really remarkable about the clip is that it’s a Kinsley gaffe, it shows what the Democrats really think of the men who vote for them pic.twitter.com/TqFUYS9hDV

How can we support a party that doesn't even know what a woman is?
