MSNBC co-host Joe Scarborough said Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that Vice President Kamala Harris lost the election because many black and Hispanic men blamed it as a “racial issue” and “misogyny.” He said that this is because he is suffering from “.
“We cannot ignore that there is still a lot of racism and gender bias in this country,” political commentator Al Sharpton said. I think that if we ignore it and don't try to bring it to the forefront to heal, it means we end up in the same place. Kamala Harris is an interracial woman of color and the first woman to run for head of state. That's something many Americans aren't prepared to deal with. ”
“It's not just white male misogyny, it's black male misogyny. This is something we've all been talking about, and black men want to be led by women,” Scarborough said. No,” he replied. It may be a racial issue with Hispanics, they don't want a black woman as president of the United States. You know, the Democrats, I've always noticed when we sit down and talk, they love to say white women don't like black people and categorize everyone into separate groups. No, it's time for Democrats to say okay, and you and I have talked about this before. Many Hispanic voters have a problem with black candidates. ”
Sharpton said, “That's true. So do other Hispanics. Some of us don't like each other. And some of the most misogynistic things I've heard on voting tours have been from black people. So it's misogynistic. It's not that simple, and we really need to have an honest conversation about it.”
