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 — jordan (@JordanUhl) March 17, 2020

We can honestly say we didn’t see that coming.

Dana Bash is the epitome of what's wrong with the main stream media. — Rob Wagner ? (@wagner_rob) March 17, 2020
