Jake Tapper and Dana Bash’s Debate Performance Was an Embarrassment

President Joe Biden had a rough night Thursday at the debate, but CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash also turned in an abysmal performance of their own, according to The New Abnormal co-hosts Andy Levy and Danielle Moodie.

Neither moderator offered much in the way of follow-up questions or any fact checks for either candidate—something that CNN said in advance they were not going to do.

“Do you know what they were? They weren’t moderators. They were fucking mic stands,” Moodie said in a special debate-night episode. “Like doing nothing, doing nothing, offering nothing.”
