They have red wave blues.
Liberal media powerhouses were in complete meltdown Wednesday over Donald Trump's presidential victory, with many spouting the same divisive rhetoric they were criticized for before the election.
MSNBC “Morning Joe”
Joe Scarborough, co-anchor of MSNBC's Morning Joe, blamed Trump's landslide victory on misogyny and racism by minority voters.
“Democrats need to mature, they need to be honest, and they need to say, 'Yes, misogyny exists, but it's not just misogyny from white men.'” The Daily Scarborough made the observation in a clip shared by The Wire's Ryan Saavedra.
“It's misogyny from Hispanic men, it's misogyny from black men – something we're all talking about – they don't want women in charge,” Florida State. the former Republican congressman claimed.
Scarborough, 61, also argued that “there may be a racial problem among Hispanics who don't want a black woman as president of the United States.”

“According to @JoeNBC, do you mean people of color didn't follow the instructions of elite white overlords?” asked one X user. “I think this is the definition of racism.”
The second question was, “Why do wealthy white people like @JoeNBC think they should decide for minorities what is and isn't racist?” asked.
ABC's “The View”
“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin also joined in the blame game, but zeroed in on voters she described as “uneducated white women.”
“I'm very upset…we know that now [Trump] He's going to have unbridled power,” lamented Hostin, who, like the other hosts, was dressed all in black.
Hostin said Trump's historic victory made her worry about her daughter, who has “less civil rights” than herself.
“I think [Trump’s victory] “It had nothing to do with policy, but I think it was a referendum on cultural resentment in this country,” she mused.
“Last night, black women tried to save this country again… My point is that what we're missing is the white women who voted about 52% for Donald Trump, the uneducated white women. I understand. In fact, more Latino men are voting for him,” Hostin opined.
“I don't think white women like being called uneducated white women,” countered co-host Alyssa Farrah Griffin.
CNN
CNN anchor Jake Tapper's floor reaction to learning that Harris failed to outperform President Joe Biden's 2020 performance in a single state caused a stir.
Tapper asked CNN's national correspondent John King to provide a chart showing states where Harris won at least 3 percentage points more votes than Biden in the last election. All they were presented with was a gray map reflecting their failures.
“Holy smokers!” Tapper gasped. “Literally nothing?”
“Isn't it literally one county?” Tapper asked again, still in shock after seeing the footage, which has been viewed more than 5 million times in just one clip shared on X. .
Trump easily won the election, reversing his 2020 losses in key 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, a former Obama administration official and Democratic activist, offered a scathing assessment of the election late Tuesday, saying “I woke up this morning having a dream,” but “I went to bed having a nightmare.”
“I want to thank the people who are hurting tonight, who are not part of anyone's elite,” Jones said Tuesday, as vote counts in key battleground states showed Trump was well positioned to win a second term. “I'm thinking about it,” he told CNN's co-panelists. White House.
PBS
Liberal PBS News commentator Jonathan Capehart was similarly appalled by the primary results.
“There's a shift to the right, and then there's a shift to Trump,” Capehart gushed.
“It's perplexing in some ways just because we're talking about a former president who was impeached twice, indicted four times and convicted of 34 felonies.”
Capehart went on to lament that this election could be a sign of “who we are as a country,” adding: “From what I see right now, I'm not sure I like this election.” he added.
