On Tuesday, a number of CNN figures swiftly condemned former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama for their silence thus far on the rape and sexual assault allegations against donor, friend, and filmmaker Harvey Weinstein. Among the CNNers were chief political correspondent Dana Bash, who slammed the Obamas during CNN’s Wolf.

Host Wolf Blitzer teed up Bash by noting that “these are shocking allegations” and thus “it's all extremely awkward for a lot of Democrats who received a lot of money over the years from Harvey Weinstein.”
