'How crazy that sounds!': Shouting erupts on CNN as Trump surrogate makes demand of Harris

Trump surrogate Scott Jennings on Wednesday demanded that Vice President Kamala Harris retract her accusation that former President Donald Trump is a "fascist."

Given that Harris is likely to concede defeat to the former president later on Wednesday, Jennings thought that she should take time to say that she really didn't mean to call Trump a fascist.

'Not just misogyny from white men': MSNBC's Morning Joe slams voters who rejected Harris

The morning after Donald Trump won a historic second term as president despite being a convicted felon and found guilty of sexual assault and defamation, MSNBC hosts Joe Scarborough and Rev. Al Sharpton teamed up to blast non-white male voters who voted against Vice President Kamala Harris.

As part of the postmortem of the election, Scarborough was quick to note polls that showed the VP did poorly with white men –– as was expected –– but also with voters who were expected to fall in behind her but voted for the former president instead.

"Kamala Harris is a woman of color in an interracial marriage running as a woman to be the head of state," Sharpton began. "That is something a lot of Americans are not ready to deal with. How we move that forward, we need to face it and deal with it and I hope we do it in a way that shows that we will be more mature than when they lost [in 2020]. There will be no January 6 insurrection from our side. It must be the maturing of America."

"I will just say, Rev, really quickly, too, Democrats need to be mature and they need to be honest," host Scarborough interjected. "And they need to say, yes, there is misogyny but it's not just misogyny from white me. It's misogyny from Hispanic men."

"Right," Sharpton agreed.

"It's misogyny from Black men, things we have all been talking about, who do not want a woman leading them. Might be race issues with Hispanics, they don't want a Black woman as president of the United States. You know, the Democratic party, I've always found when you're sitting around talking, they love to just sort of balkanize everybody into separate groups, and say, 'Oh, white people don't like women and Black people.' No. We've talked about this before: a lot of Hispanic voters have problems with Black candidates."

"And with other Hispanics!" Sharpton exclaimed. "You've got some that don't like each other. And some of the most misogynist things I heard going the get out the vote tour came from Black men. So you're absolutely right, it's not simplistic and we have to have real honest conversations about it."

'A lot of people believed that': Dem lawmaker singles out how Trump sealed the deal

As part of the post-mortem following Donald Trump's victory over Vice President Kamala Harris to become the 47th president of the United States, one Democrat appeared on MSNBC early Wednesday morning to point to what he believes helped the former president return to the Oval Office.

Sitting down with MSNBC host Jen Psaki, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX), the lawmaker was asked, "You're the only person sitting here who's run for office and won. All this data, all these exit polls, all the margins surprising and disappointing to some, what are your big takeaways on what we know so far?"

"I think Trump helped that along, right?" he replied. "If he has a superpower, it's marketing. In every single speech over the last few years, he would say we had the greatest economy, we had the greatest economy and I think a lot of people really believed that in the end."

"And they remember those times more fondly probably than they were, right, and compared that to high inflation over the last couple of years," he added. "So there's that. It's an extraordinary comeback, I don't know if we can I call it the greatest American comeback."

'Mitch McConnell is why': Rage mounts as Trump victory looks more likely
