Donald Trump has defied the odds and is back in the White House, elected as the 47th President of the United States. Last night’s triumph wasn’t just a win—it was a monumental comeback. Trump not only clinched the Electoral College by a landslide but also secured both chambers of Congress for the Republicans.
For America’s left, it’s a nightmare come true. Those media pundits who spent months propping up Kamala Harris, pushing sketchy polls, and painting Trump as a villain have been left speechless. Remember when they called his New York rally a “Hitler rally”? The irony is palpable, given their belief they could somehow shame Americans into electing Harris.
Now, they are falling apart knowing that an America-first president will be in the White House. And this is what they are doing today.
From Fox News:
Many journalists were clinging to fading hopes that Vice President Kamala Harris could somehow pull out a victory as former President Donald Trump won state after state in the greatest comeback in American political history…For those left-leaning commentators who said 2024 could be America’s last election if Trump won, the outcome – which included Republicans taking over the Senate – was a slap in the face. Look at these New York Times news headlines:
“America Hires a Strongman.”
“Pariah, Felon, President-Elect: How Trump Fought His Way Back to Power.”
“Four More Years of Unpredictability: The World Prepares for Trump’s Return.”
And the editorial page: “America Makes a Perilous Choice.”
Media’s Wishful Thinking Hits Reality
For months, mainstream media clung to the belief that Harris could pull off a win. Last night’s results, however, shattered that illusion. Even as Trump took state after state, becoming only the second president in history to regain the White House after losing it, journalists held out hope.
A CBS News panel even suggested that the media’s own focus on inflation and high prices may have fueled Trump’s victory—a classic case of reality catching up.
The so-called “Blue Wall” crumbled as Trump claimed Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, leading to what’s now being hailed as one of the most significant political comebacks in American history. The irony? Left-leaning pundits have already chalked up Harris’s defeat to racism and sexism, a refrain that’s quickly wearing thin with the American public.
For those media voices who warned that a second Trump term would bring chaos, the shock of defeat is hard to hide. Headlines from the New York Times capture their despair: “America Hires a Strongman,” “Pariah, Felon, President-Elect,” and “Four More Years of Unpredictability.” It’s clear they weren’t prepared for this outcome, and the editorial spin is only beginning.
Liberals’ Crisis of Conscience
As left-wing commentators face the aftermath of Trump’s win, many are searching for explanations. Some are focused on why Harris failed to capture key demographics like Black men and Latino voters.
Others have questioned her campaign’s failure to address inflation and economic concerns, issues Trump tackled head-on. Former Biden communications director Kate Bedingfield even went so far as to say that “Democrats need to have a soul-searching moment.”
After spending so much time questioning whether Trump would accept the election results if he lost, they now find themselves facing that very test. For those who spent years accusing Trump of undermining democracy, it’s time to recognize that you can’t love your country only when you win.
Van Jones Goes Overboard
If their bellyaching wasn’t bad enough, some liberal reporters went off the deep end. CNN’s Van Jones, known for wild speculation and hyperbole, said some things that are inexcusable.
From Daily Caller:
CNN’s Van Jones on Tuesday emotionally warned that minority groups will suffer if Vice President Kamala Harris loses to former President Donald Trump…“They did everything that they knew how to do. And it is going to be harder than it should be tomorrow for them to hold their heads up. And they’re not the only people who are hurting tonight. If you’re a parent of a trans kid, your child’s face was used as a springboard to power for somebody. That doesn’t feel good,” he continued.
Ever the blind fool, Jone claimed that Donald Trump’s victory would devastate minorities and “trans kids.” Like the rest of the liberal elite, he believes the very lies they cooked up against Trump. And they ignored how utterly incompetent Kamala Harris is and how she would make life much worse for minorities, working families, and eveyrone else.
The question is, will the liberal media one day wake up from their self-inflicted web of lies? Probably not.
