Staff ReportsIn today’s media circus, nothing beats watching a so-called journalist get knocked off her high horse. Dana Bash, CNN’s veteran spin doctor, just got a reality check she won’t soon forget. On her own show, State of the Union, she attempted to challenge Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent with worn-out leftist talking points, only to meet a brick wall of facts. It was evident—she wasn’t prepared.
The mainstream media love to paint the picture that tax reforms only serve the rich. Bash tried hard to push the narrative that President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” would funnel cash to high-earners, basing her argument on suspect data from think tanks with left-wing ties. But Bessent wasn’t buying it. The so-called experts she cited turned out to be ex-Biden folks, and we all know where their allegiances lie. No credibility there, sorry.
🚨 LMAO! CNN's Dana Bash's talking point immediately SMACKED DOWN by Scott Bessent. She was not ready for this.

Bessent didn’t just defend the bill; he flipped the script. Bash claimed that the highest earners would benefit the most while the poor would suffer—but the truth is, the top 10% already shoulder a massive tax burden, and that’s not going to change. Instead of falling into her trap, Bessent laid out how the reforms continue to support the middle and working class, just like Trump’s policies successfully did before. This is a hard reality for the left to swallow.
Facing a storm of facts, Bash’s attempts to steer the narrative collapsed like a house of cards. Liberal elites can’t stand when their alternate reality is called out, especially when it involves moving past failed policies that punish the middle class. But the truth shines brightly for everyone who’s sick of the lies. How much longer will Americans tolerate the press pushing these “end-is-nigh” tales about tax cuts and economic reform while they live under the weight of excessive taxation?
It’s time for the left to listen. Fewer taxes and more economic freedom work for all Americans—not just the elites. Liberal pundits are desperate to keep their misguided beliefs alive, but facts have an annoying habit of getting in the way. What are they so afraid of? Could it be that they’re terrified of an empowered, tax-reduced America discovering its full potential?
