MSNBC Guest Accuses Trump’s 77 Million Voters of Wanting to ‘Destroy the Republic’ Rather Than ‘Elect A Black Woman’

Princeton University Professor Eddie Glaude laid into the 77 million Americans who voted for President Donald Trump on MSNBC, accusing them of opting to “destroy the republic” rather than to “elect a black woman.”

“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,” he told MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Monday’s Deadline: White House. “To make the choice that will allow these people to undermine every fundamental assumption we have. That you can just be disappeared.”

Glaude continued, “I don’t know what it’s going to take for 78 million Americans to deal with what motivated them to make this choice, and the choice that they’ve made, we have to just be honest, is to literally throw the republic into the trash bin.”

The Princeton professor argued:

We chose a felon who is more interested in loyalty, who is more interested in retribution, who is 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, and until we grapple with it, there’s no amount of protesting I could do, there’s no amount of resistance that could come into play to actually force 78 million people to grapple with what motivated them to put themselves in this position.

Wallace replied, “You’re right in that 78 million people voted for someone who wants to shred the Constitution.”
