Media figures gushed over the Democratic National Convention this week, praising Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s savior and comparing former President Obama to Jesus.
Liberal media figures predictably gushed over the Democratic National Convention in Chicago this week, praising Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s savior and even comparing former President Obama to Jesus.
CNN and MSNBC, which both had high-profile staffers speak on the main stage at the DNC, both featured numerous over-the-top moments during the four-day event.
And the excitement wasn’t just overseeing network colleagues like Ana Navarro and Al Sharpton speak to attendees, but rather a sense of newfound hope that Harris can defeat former President Trump now that she formally replaced President Biden on the party’s ticket.
Here are some of the most extreme media moments: MSNBC’s Alex Wagner says Trump’s ‘White patriarchy’ supporters are terrified of America’s future with Obama, Harris
MSNBC’s reliably left-wing hosts this week fawned over every major speaker, and its hosts, known for their sycophancy toward Democrats, were clearly enraptured with the event. But there were also some caustic digs at voters backing former President Trump.
Host Alex Wagner, one of many media figures with direct ties to the Democratic Party as the wife of former Obama White House chef Sam Kass, proclaimed on Tuesday that Trump and his “White patriarchy” MAGA supporters were scared of the “multicultural” future represented by former President Obama and Kamala Harris.
“So nobody’s ready to write the epigraph for the Trump years, but I do think, you know, it’s a powerful suggestion, right?” she said. “That Barack Obama is the future. That Kamala Harris is the future and that Donald Trump is the past. And indeed, that demographic reality lies at the core of so much of Donald Trump’s power over his audience, right? The idea that a multicultural inclusive America is actually the road we’re heading down, and that the sort of White patriarchal society that allowed Donald Trump to profiteer as much as he has is going into the rearview, right?”
“That’s a powerful, distressing idea if you are part of the White patriarchy like Donald Trump and his supporters who see change, who see people like Barack Obama, who see people like Kamala Harris, you know, multi-ethnic leaders, multi-racial progressive leaders, and are scared of that vision, right?” she continued.
