US 2024 Presidential Election Results CNN screenshot • 11/06/24 at 15.20.55
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. Becoming more irate, she said: "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. 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?"
