Sexism

Democrats won’t learn lessons from losing the 2024 presidential election, or at least Sunny Hostin won’t. As the staunchly racist co-host ABC’s The View, Hostin’s rage flared during Thursday’s episode as she lashed at Latino voters for supporting President-elect Trump. She repeatedly insisted that they only supported Trump because of their “misogyny and sexism.” She also suggested…

Sunny Hostin, co-host of ABC’s The View, proved once again how staunchly racist she was when she lashed out at “uneducated white women” and blamed them for Vice President Harris’s stunning loss to President-elect Trump. She also suggested she wasn’t surprised by America’s sexism and racism and that the election “was a referendum of cultural resentment in this country.”

The morning after the election, "Mourning" Mika is dressed all in black. Claire McCaskill is near tears, saying Trump understood the electorate better than the Democrats, that "anger and fear" work, and that America's "better angels" have fled. Al Sharpton blames racial and gender bias, and says there's a lot of "misogyny" among black and Hispanic men.

CBS chief political news correspondent John Dickerson was tasked on Wednesday’s CBS Mornings with explaining how Donald Trump pulled off his Grover Cleveland impression the previous night. As Dickerson tells it, the country had a “nostalgia for a past that didn't exist” and wondered if sexism had anything to do with it.

One could detect a very real and very palpable vibe shift, if you will, at MSNBC once it became clear that Vice President Kamala Harris was not going to win the 2024 presidential election.

In the wee hours of Wednesday morning, as they were waiting for the election workers in the so-called “blue wall” to tell them what they already knew, CNN’s Van Jones blamed sexism and racism for why Vice President Kamala Harris lost to President-elect Trump.

New York Times reporter Rebecca Davis O’Brien made Wednesday’s edition with a poor-Kamala Harris “news” story, “Michelle Obama Decries a ‘Double Standard’ in Treatment of Trump and Harris.” It’s an echo of a recent front-page Times story blaming sexism for Harris’s failure to have the 30-point lead over Trump she’s apparently entitled to. It’s another sweaty attempt by the…

On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Michael Steele says that "young brothers" in cities like Detroit, Atlanta, and Philly have become part of a "bro culture" in which they just want women to be "quiet and pregnant." He riffed off Michelle Obama describing herself as "frustrated" and "angry" at voters who let Trump's shortcomings slide, but demand that Kamala "dazzle us at every…

Desperation time? The front page of Thursday’s New York Times bluntly blamed sexism for Kamala Harris’s campaign woes. Reporters Lisa Lerer and Katie Glueck bitterly lamented “The Quiet, Stubborn Aversion To Putting a Woman in Power.”

PBS News Hour sought to answer the question on Friday of why Kamala Harris is struggling with male voters. Both New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart agreed that it is important not to “downplay the role that sexism” plays here.

Morning Joe devoted much of its opening segment on Kamala Harris's Fox News interview to attacking the host, Bret Baier. Mika Brzezinski calls it an 'embarrassing, bad-faith effort by a once-respected host.' Donny Deutsch says he was 'repulsed' by Baier. Anand Giridharadas accuses Baier of racism and misogyny, saying he interrupted her because as a member of the "old guard," he could…

MSNBC must be scared because on Thursday’s edition of All In With Chris Hayes, gone were the gleeful proclamations about a “vibe election,” and in their place was the traditional coping mechanism that says the reason why a Democrat isn't popular is because of racism and sexism.

On Thursday’s installment of  Comedy Central's The Daily Show, host Jordan Klepper claimed to uncover the reason why Kamala Harris is trailing by 12 points among male voters: sexism. Klepper’s unoriginal “insight” led him to claim that “right-wingers” believe that if you vote for a woman, “your penis evaporates.”

ABC’s The View co-host Joy Behar didn’t get the memo on toning down the rhetoric. During Thursday’s interview with the former host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, Behar claimed Donald Trump is scapegoating immigrants and warned, “Don't forget Nazi Germany, the Jews were the scapegoat, and look what happened here.” Elsewhere, Noah claimed “some people might struggle” with a…
