Glenn Youngkin’s Tuesday night victory caused liberal pundits across the board to have an absolute meltdown. It was great TV and probably the best ratings many of the networks had seen in months.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid had a meltdown and claimed that voters who said education was their key issue was code for “white parents don’t like the idea of teaching about race.”

The Daily Wire reports:

“The exit polls showed that, which was interesting, that the Coronavirus or that the virus was a very low importance to many voters,” Reid said. “It was ‘education,’ which is code for ‘white parents don’t like the idea of teaching about race.’ And I mean, unfortunately, race is just the most palpable tool in the toolkit, it used to be of the Democratic Party back in the day when they were Dixiecrats and now of the Republican Party.”

During another portion of MSNBC’s election coverage, Reid said that Republicans were dangerous and a threat to U.S. national security.

“I think we’ve all said a version of it, you have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous, that this isn’t a party that’s just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy, that at this point, they’re dangerous,” she claimed. “They’re dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hardcore stuff. It leads to the January 6 stuff because if people are tolerant of it in your party, they’re tolerant of the soft racism, it’s a really short trip to get to the January 6 insurrectionists.”

Reid trivialized the claim that critical race theory was being taught in schools, downplaying the issue by claiming that the term is used to describe “anything that makes a white parent uncomfortable.”

Youngkin’s upset victory is a major indicator of how midterm elections could go next year as Republicans work to take back the House.
