“Take a Good Long Hard Look”: Joe Scarborough Admits Democrats Are “Radically Disconnected” From Americans

(DCNF)—MSNBC host Joe Scarborough said on Wednesday that Democrats needed to reassess whether they lost touch with American voters after former President Donald Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.

Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early Wednesday morning, fueled by increased support from black and Hispanic voters. Scarborough said that Democrats had to “confront some realities” about the border and being “too woke” for voters.

“At some point, Democrats are going to have to confront some realities that they haven’t wanted to confront in the past, they didn’t want to confront past issues on the border, it took them too long to confront that,” Scarborough said. “We talked about the transgender inmate ad that ran 30,000 time that the Democrats refused to respond to despite the fact it was Donald Trump’s own policy. Because I guess some people in the campaign, we talked about this before, thought it might – maybe they were too woke to respond to a false ad and they were afraid they’d be attacked by their own base. There are so many questions for the Democrats to answer, but one of them, the one that I just saw, that will be staring them in the face if they don’t do something about it, is that 45% of Hispanics voted for Donald Trump.”

Trump’s campaign ran ads featuring Harris discussing how she pushed “behind the scenes” for transgender prisoners to receive sex changes, while Trump said he supported banning biological men from competing in women’s sports during an Oct. 16 town hall moderated by Fox News host Harris Faulkner.

“If you look at this, if you look at younger voters, you look at all these different – we’ve been talking about a new Republican Party, there needs to be a new Republican Party, this morning this is about as bleak as any time for Democrats since the so-called 1984 San Francisco Democrats,” Scarborough said. “It’s time for the Democrats to take a good, long, hard look at how this happened and if they just say Trump bad, Democrats virtuous, they’re gonna keep losing, cause this, again this is so widespread. This is not about just Donald Trump, this is about the Democratic Party and being radically disconnected from the rest of the country. Look at the map.”
