Liberal media outlets like CNN and MSNBC went bankrupt because of Trump's victory

They have the red wave blues.

Liberal media supporters were in complete meltdown Wednesday over President-elect Donald Trump's victory — and many of them expressed the same divisive rhetoric for which they were criticized in the run-up to the election.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Joe Scarborough, co-host of MSNBC's “Morning Joe,” blamed misogyny and racism among minority voters for Trump's overwhelming victory.

“Democrats must be mature and honest. And they have to say, 'Yes, there is misogyny, but it's not just white male misogyny,'” Scarborough said in the clip shared by Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire.

“It's misogyny from Hispanic men, it's misogyny from black men – things we've all talked about – who don't want a woman leading them,” the former GOP congressman from Florida insisted.

Scarborough, 61, also claimed that there “may be racial issues among Hispanics who don't want a black woman as president of the United States.”

Social media users were quick to accuse Scarborough of racism.

“So according to @JoeNBC, people of color didn't follow the orders of their elite white overlords?” one X user asked. “I think that’s the definition of racism.”

A second asked: “How come wealthy white people like @JoeNBC think they should decide for minorities what's racist and what's not?”

ABC's “The View”

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin also played the blame game — but focused her attention on voters she described as “uneducated white women.”

“I am deeply disturbed … we now know that (Trump) will have unfettered power,” lamented Hostin, who like some of her co-hosts was dressed in all black.

Hostin said Trump's historic victory makes her worried about her daughter, who now has “less civil rights” than she does.

“I think that (Trump's victory) had nothing to do with politics, I think that this was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” she mused.

“Black women tried again last night to save this country… what we don't have is white women, who voted about 52% for Donald Trump – uneducated white women, as far as I know.” There are actually more Latino men, who vote for him,” said Hostin.

“I don’t think white women like being called uneducated white women,” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin retorted.

CNN

CNN anchor Jake Tapper's muted reaction caused a stir when he learned that Harris had failed to surpass President Joe Biden's 2020 results in a single state.

Tapper asked CNN chief correspondent John King to create a graphic showing which states Harris received at least 3% more votes than Biden in the last election – only to be given a gray map showing their failure itself reflected in this respect.

“Holy smoke!” Tapper gasped. “Literally nothing?”

“Literally not a county?” Tapper asked again, still sounding shocked in the footage that has been viewed more than 5 million times in just one clip shared on X.

Trump won the election comfortably after overturning his 2020 losses in the crucial states of Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

CNN political commentator Van Jones also appeared close to tears as it became increasingly clear that Trump would easily defeat Harris.

Jones, the former Obama administration official and Democratic Party activist, offered a bleak assessment of the election late Tuesday, saying he “woke up with a dream this morning” only to “go to bed with a nightmare.” .

“I'm thinking about the people who aren't in anyone's elite who are doing poorly tonight,” Jones told CNN's co-panelists on Tuesday, as vote counts in key battleground states showed Trump well positioned to secure a second term in the White House.

PBS

PBS News liberal commentator Jonathan Capehart was similarly dismayed by the preliminary election results.

“There is a shift to the right and then a shift toward Trump,” Capehart said.

“I'm confused in some ways simply because we're talking about a former president who has been impeached twice, impeached four times and convicted of 34 felonies.”

Capehart further lamented that the election could be a reflection of “who we are as a country” – adding: “Based on what I'm seeing right now, I'm not sure I like it.”
