CNN made one humiliating admission about the DNC that left Democrats furious
The old alliances of media and the Left may be faltering. They have no clue how to frame Kamala Harris.
And now CNN made one humiliating admission about the DNC that left Democrats furious.
Conservatives had a field day on Wednesday, tearing into men who back the Democratic Party after CNN’s Dana Bash suggested that the Harris-Walz ticket appeals to males who lack the masculinity seen in their Republican counterparts.
Bash claimed that Democrats are targeting men who would rather listen to soft-spoken figures like Gov. Tim Walz and second gentleman Doug Emhoff instead of iconic macho figures like Hulk Hogan.
Hogan, in true alpha fashion, ripped off his shirt at last month’s Republican National Convention to show his support for Trump.
“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 explained, clearly drawing a line between Democrat and Republican men.
Bash further claimed that Democrats aim to appeal to men who “understand that it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman.” But to many, this sounded like a weak attempt to redefine masculinity to fit the party’s narrative.
CNN’s Jake Tapper chimed in, discussing the so-called “different definitions of masculinity in 2024” and contrasting the RNC’s testosterone-fueled energy with the softer, more subdued vibe of the DNC, featuring figures like Kid Rock, Dana White, and, of course, Hulk Hogan.
FOX Business reporter Charlie Gasparino didn’t hold back, mocking Bash’s take: “BTW, you can be a high testosterone dude, not own a gun, not be a fan of the Hulk, and be comfortable in your own skin. So odd watching coastal elites try and intellectualize men but given the male gene pool they deal with every day not surprising they come up with garbage like this.”
The Trump campaign was quick to agree, emphasizing the stark contrast between the DNC and RNC.
“The DNC is definitely low energy and low impact, with Democrats screaming and yelling with no message other than disgusting personal attacks and outright lies. Contrast that with the RNC and President Trump who has offered a positive vision for America,” Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital.
Bash’s comments quickly sparked a frenzy on social media, with “low-T” becoming a trending topic as users poked fun at the Democrats’ so-called appeal to men.
Podcaster Royce Lewis couldn’t resist pointing out the obvious: “They are openly calling you Low T losers at the DNC. This is hilarious.”
Wall Street Silver, an account with 1.4 million followers, put it bluntly: “Dana Bash explains that Democrat men are low testosterone and don’t identify with real men.”
One user summed up the absurdity of the situation: “She literally said that Tim Walz appeals to low T beta males. What is funny is that both Democrats and Republicans will cheer this for completely opposite reasons.”
Another quipped, “I like my testosterone high and my guns long, so I’ll pass.”
The popular Libs of TikTok account jumped into the fray, noting how the Democrats’ war on masculinity continues unabated. “CNN is at the DNC crying about toxic masculinity and Republican men being too masculine,” they wrote.
Libs of TikTok also highlighted Bash’s remarks: “Dana Bash says Tim Walz and Doug Emhoff ‘can speak to men out there who might not be the testosterone-laden gun-toting guy.’ They admit Democrat men are a bunch of low T soyboys.”
One commenter nailed it with a joke that went viral: “And those guys’ wives’ boyfriends will be voting Trump. So it cancels out.”
In a stark contrast, during the RNC in July, Hogan—whose real name is Terry Bollea—tore off his “Real American” shirt in classic pro wrestling style to reveal a Trump-Vance 2024 shirt.
“Enough was enough and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again,” he roared while flexing his pythons.
