Following former President Donald Trump’s monumental victory in the 2024 presidential election, the legacy mainstream media has been in a meltdown. Over at MSNBC, host Nicolle Wallace rolled back a clip of JD Vance speaking at a rally on Monday night, where he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “trash” that will be taken out.
At a rally in Newtown, Pennsylvania, on the eve of the election, Vance told rally attendees, “In two days, we are going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and the trash is named Kamala Harris.” Reacting to the statement, Wallace said to her fellow panelists, “JD Vance just doubled down on ‘trash’… I haven’t seen this yet. Let’s play this.”
Wallace repeatedly requested that the clip be played several times. “Oh, my god. Can I see that again? Can we play that again?” the host said. Wallace said again, “Forgive me. One more time.” Wallace proceeded to bemoan Vance’s rhetoric, suggesting it would be “lights out,” interpreting the Republican Vice Presidential candidate’s comments as slight against all women.
Wallace, stunned, said: “In my humble view, lights out. Women, you can disagree with us. We’ve actually learned to take it for our whole careers all the time in every forum. But you call us trash? Oh. Oh, JD Vance. You just effed up in a way I’ve never seen in my political life, and I worked for Sarah Palin. What just happened?”
The American Tribune has reported on other election reactions, where MSNBC has gone into a “full-blown panic.” Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki reacted to Trump’s landslide victory, worrying that Musk’s affiliation with Trump could lead to the promotion of “disinformation.” Psaki said, “You have Elon Musk, who owns Twitter, X, whatever we’re calling it these days, who is a disinformation propagandist and now could potentially have a direct line to the Oval Office.”
Furthermore, Psaki weighed in on the implications for abortion. “This is a man who has also bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade and stripping away women’s bodily autonomy. He has promised to conduct mass deportations to crack down on the rights of millions of Americans. Donald Trump is an anti-democratic force, but he has just been elected democratically in our country,” she said.
“And here’s what might be the hardest part to hear, but we have to talk about it, and we have to say, and it is a hard part to digest for all of us, but we have to be honest about what we saw in this election – Donald Trump was elected by expanding his support over a number of key groups. We’ve been digging into this all night tonight and we have anticipated where this was headed, and I know we are going to dig into it through the course of today. There will be a lot of time spent on why and how he won and what this will mean for the country over the course of the next four years and beyond,” she continued.
