Racism

The cast of Friday’s installment of MSNBC’s The ReidOut had a rather odd explanation for how the Republican Party has managed to win over working-class voters: racism towards former President Barack Obama. All host Joy Reid and author Christina Greer had to do was ignore that Donald Trump did better with all demographics and won in states that Obama also won.

During a discussion on the necessity of the Senate’s role in advising and consenting to cabinet appointees on MSNBC’s Friday edition of The Beat with Ari Melber, activist and lawyer Maya Wiley took a bit of a detour to attack Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth for allegedly having “white supremacist and extremist tattoos.”

Scientific American bills itself as an outlet that “covers the most important and exciting research, ideas and knowledge in science, health, technology, the environment and society. It is committed to sharing trustworthy knowledge, enhancing our understanding of the world, and advancing social justice” that “reaches more than 10 million people around the world each month.” On Thursday…

Comedian Wanda Sykes traveled to ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday to demand that Donald Trump and Republicans “shut up” and “relax” about transgender ideology being pushed on children.

On Saturday afternoon, CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield promoted a clip of Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC) from the day before when he tied the election of Donald Trump to racism and suggested that it was similar to the end of the Reconstruction era and the beginning of new Jim Crow era. Ultimately, he smeared America by saying his "real problem now is not Democrat versus Republican," but rather…

Friday’s PBS News Hour didn’t take Donald Trump’s re-election well, continuing to blame sexism for the failure of Americans to elect those incredibly impressive candidates Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, picking instead the sexist ogre Donald Trump (who just appointed the first female chief of staff in presidential history). Even with two guests instead of the usual monotone…

Appearing as a guest on Friday's The 11th Hour, MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude charged that racism was the real reason Donald Trump was reelected President and raged over fellow liberals implicating economic issues instead. The race-obsessed analyst even tied in Trump supporters allegedly finding it "confusing" to see "racially ambiguous children on Cheerios commercials."

The passage of a few days to allow for more mature reflection after Election Day has not affected Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart. On Friday’s PBS News Hour, Capehart attributed Donald Trump’s victory to “racism and sexism” and a list of other horribles that the country refuses to acknowledge.

On her Thursday show, MSNBC’s Alex Wagner decried the fact that when women get married, their support for Republicans goes up. Not only that, Wagner claimed that such voting patterns show a disregard for “their black and brown sisters,” whose lives are supposedly threatened by the GOP.

Democrats won’t learn lessons from losing the 2024 presidential election, or at least Sunny Hostin won’t. As the staunchly racist co-host ABC’s The View, Hostin’s rage flared during Thursday’s episode as she lashed at Latino voters for supporting President-elect Trump. She repeatedly insisted that they only supported Trump because of their “misogyny and sexism.” She also suggested…

Sunny Hostin, co-host of ABC’s The View, proved once again how staunchly racist she was when she lashed out at “uneducated white women” and blamed them for Vice President Harris’s stunning loss to President-elect Trump. She also suggested she wasn’t surprised by America’s sexism and racism and that the election “was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”

When seeking to explain why Donald Trump won on Tuesday, it would make sense to have a more diverse set of guests than a left-wing “antiracist” author and a Republican for Harris. However, MSNBC’s Wednesday morning election coverage was determined to stay in their bubble as co-host Ana Cabreara asked author W. Kamau Bell why Americans accepted Trump’s “mean” campaign of “racism, misogyny, [and…

One could detect a very real and very palpable vibe shift, if you will, at MSNBC once it became clear that Vice President Kamala Harris was not going to win the 2024 presidential election.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, as they were waiting for the election workers in the so-called “blue wall” to tell them what they already knew, CNN’s Van Jones blamed sexism and racism for why Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Trump.
