CNN host Dana Bash questioned the unusual number of Trump administration officials sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, highlighting the symbolism and deviance from tradition.
CNN host Dana Bash raised questions on Thursday about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas swearing in multiple Trump administration officials in recent weeks. 'Please raise your right hand again and again and again,' Bash said.

'I don't have a very strong memory of cabinet officials having swearing-ins of any Supreme Court Justice.' 'It’s traditionally been done by the vice president of the United States,' CNN analyst Joan Biskupic said.
