Megyn Kelly Says Dana Bash ‘Looks So Stupid’ After Alaska Democrats’ Dan Sullivan Scam

The CNN anchor butt heads with Attorney General Todd Blanche over the White House's lawsuit against Alaskan Democrats The post Megyn Kelly Says Dana Bash ‘Looks So Stupid’ After Alaska Democrats’ Dan Sullivan Scam appeared first on TheWrap .

Megyn Kelly criticized CNN anchor Dana Bash following a New York Times investigation into a potential scam in the Alaska Senate race. The investigation revealed that people associated with Democratic candidate Mary Peltola worked to recruit a candidate named Dan Sullivan, aiming to confuse voters and potentially sway the election outcome. According to the Times, the "ballot composition project" involved Peltola's lawyers and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, which directs party strategy nationwide.

Stu Burguiere commented on "The Megyn Kelly Show" that "the second this happened, we all knew something like this was behind it," implying Bash's awareness of the scheme. On "State of the Union," Bash defended the Peltola campaign, stating that the effort was not illegal but a "dirty trick." Kelly accused Bash of "basically vouching for the Peltola campaign" without verifying her honesty, implying her skepticism about Bash's credibility.

The investigation found that the second Dan Sullivan had no interest in running for office but cooperated due to his disapproval of Trump, and that text messages between the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Peltola's campaign confirmed the plan. Despite denying involvement, Peltola's team and the DSCC refused to comment further on the matter.
