MSNBC contributor claims Trump voters chose ‘destroying the republic’ over electing a Black woman

WASHINGTON, DC: An MSNBC contributor, Eddie Glaude, did not mince words while calling out people who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

The Princeton University professor accused them of preferring to destroy America over electing a Black woman. He was referring to Democratic nominee and former vice president Kamala Harris, as reported by Breitbart.

“I don’t know what it’s going to take for the American people, for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make the choice to elect this man again, to make the choice will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have,” he shared during MSNBC’s ‘Deadline: White House’ on Monday, April 7.

Eddie Glaude blames Trump voters for throwing nation into ‘trash bin’

Eddie Glaude, 56, said, "The choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republic into the trash bin.”

Taking note of the criminal cases against the 47th president, he further mentioned, “We chose a felon who is more interested in loyalty, who’s more interested in retribution, who’s more interested in grift than in democracy. And we chose a felon because we didn’t want to elect a Black woman.”

“So to read that, to actually explicate that is to say we would rather destroy the republic than for that to have happened,” Glaude added.

Eddie Glaude slams superiority complex of ‘some people’

Eddie Glaude also went on to say that “there’s this sense, this tragic dimension of the American project where the extension of basic democratic principles, the idea that dignity and standing should be accorded to anyone, no matter their gender, no matter where they’re from, no matter their color.”

“That has been challenged because some people believe that by definition, they ought to be superior to others, and that the country should be organized in such a way to ensure that fact,” the author asserted.

Eddie Glaude slammed by Donald Trump supporters

Eddie Glaude's comments, however, did not go down well with some people, especially supporters of President Trump, who called out the author on social media.

An X user tweeted, “How are these clowns still on TV? lol.”

Another user wrote, “Her skin color had nothing to do with it. Her lack of intelligence did.”

One said, “MSNBC is only a theatre. Nobody but the true believers thinks it says anything true.”

“As a Democrat, if all you got is the Race Card, you have no cards,” a person commented.

Another shared, “It's not the color of her skin, it's the content of her character.”

“Since when did black Democrats become so racist? Or have they always been and now they are being exposed? I’ve never seen anything like this from the politicians to the pundits, I’m a little shocked,” a tweet read.
