Senate Candidate Loretta Sanchez Uses 'The Dab' In Debate Against Kamala Harris
She finally did, but not for anything she said.
The Orange County congresswoman capped an hour-long debate with her fellow Democrat Wednesday by mimicking a celebratory gesture popularized by NFL star Cam Newton, known as "the dab."
Standing behind a lectern, Sanchez suddenly thrust out her left arm, while tucking her head into the crook of right arm, then holding the pose briefly.
Harris initially looked puzzled, then a smile creased her face.
Harris noted with a chuckle, "There's a clear difference between the candidates in this race."
Video clips of the pose were circulating on social media Thursday.
Campaign spokesman Luis Vizcaino dubbed the gesture the "debate dab."
