American Liberals Lose Their Minds Over Trump’s Victory Live on Air

The Mail has an initial round-up of prominent figures in the liberal media becoming visibly upset – or angry – as the news sunk in last night that Donald Trump was going to win the US Presidential election. Expect much more of these compilations over the coming days.

Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election provoked an anguished reaction from the left liberal news media and Kamala Harris supporters.

MSNBC commentator Joy Reid launched a tirade live on air as Florida turned out overwhelmingly in favour of Trump, slamming voters and describing the state as being under the power of an “extremist, right-wing, fascist-type government”.

“Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said into the TV that people could hear him say and do,” she said, becoming increasingly more irate.

“The vulgarity in front of families with young children and the threats to do mass deportation and a violent start to his dictatorship on day one, you name it.”

Reid told her fellow MSNBC panelists that she couldn’t fathom that Trump was securing support from half the population in spite of his often controversial stances.

“If all of that gets you half of the votes… what does it tell you? We need to really take a step back and think about what does that say about us.”

After Florida was called for Trump early in the evening, Reid said: “It’s a pure Project 2025 in miniature in Florida.

“That extremist sort of right-wing, fascist type government in Florida, does that make it more of an attractive place?”

When Texas was called for the former president, Reid described black voters in Houston as “deeply suppressed” and went on to blame “white women” voters after North Carolina became the first swing state to plump for Trump.

That performance on the MSNBC ‘Election Night’ panel was followed by former White House Communications Director Nicole Wallace insisting Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were still in a “dead heat” – even as the Republican candidate pulled ahead in the polls and won two swing states in North Carolina and Georgia.

“It was always going to be a blue wall night,” she said, refusing to acknowledge that lynchpin state Pennsylvania, with 19 Electoral College votes, was leaning toward Trump with more than 90% of ballots checked – and ultimately awarded all its votes to the Republican.

Meanwhile, CNN political analyst and former Obama staffer Van Jones looked on the verge of tears while delivering a somber speech as the vote counts stacked up in Trump’s favor.

The 56 year-old has been overcome with emotion live on air on several occasions, and viewers had joked on social media in advance of election night that he was likely to burst into tears regardless of the result.

Jones was clearly fighting against choking up as he condemned the vote and painted a dystopian picture of America under Trump.

CNN presenter Jake Tapper was also on air for much of the election night and on several occasions seemed flabbergasted by voting results.

He performed double takes when looking at polling numbers and stumbled over his words when reporting the voter turnout in favour of Trump in the likes of Georgia, New Carolina and Virginia.

Hours before the race was formally called, trepidation was growing on the channel as the results of several swing states rolled in.

“This is a shellacking for the Democrats tonight,” analyst John King said. “The question is how bad. A shellacking for the Vice President.”

Shortly after, tensions flared among panelists as they performed a post mortem on the loss – again before it had been officially declared.

The reactions were gleefully shared across social media by joyous Trump supporters, who point out that much of America’s mainstream media outlets lean left and claim they often misrepresent, misquote and unfairly target the Republican candidate.

A torrent of memes poked fun at the aforementioned liberal media personalities while others delighted in Trump’s success.
