Loretta Sanchez Dabs

And the rest of us are befuddled:

In what may be a political debate first, Rep. Loretta Sanchez struck a pose known as the “dab” at the tail end of her closing statement in Wednesday’s U.S. Senate debate against Kamala Harris, leaving Harris looking surprised and others in disbelief.

Images of Sanchez posing with her right arm across her chest and her left arm extended away from her body, a celebratory gesture popularized by Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, spread across the internet with many reacting incredulously to how the now-iconic dance pose made its way from the NFL to the U.S. Senate race to the internet.
