Channeling my best version of Officer John McClane in "Die Hard," I'd like to extend a hearty greeting to the Black and Hispanic voters who walked away from the Democrat Party on Tuesday.
Not only have you come over to the Trump/MAGA side, but you get all the fun such a move entails. Including, but not limited to, having your viewpoint on all things reduced to a declaration that you, too, are racist and misogynist.
"Welcome to the party, Pal."
That's right. For years, those of us on the right side of the political aisle have consistently been told that any opposition to a black politician is derived from our racist roots. If that politician or public figure happens to be female and black, well, that's a double whammy of bigotry.
It's been going on so long that we hardly even blink an eye when the name-calling begins. Wild, though, is the fact that the left has suddenly decided vast swaths of Black and Hispanic voters are now equally as bigoted.
It literally happened overnight. Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to be exact. When, in staggering numbers, you went to the polls and voted for Donald Trump.
Trump saw a 14 percent increase in Hispanic support at the ballot box. He got 20 percent of the black vote, according to exit polls, a number previously unheard of for a Republican politician.
Branching off to Trump is one thing. But turning one's back on Kamala Harris, a black woman, is unforgivable on the left. Independent thought is simply not looked upon favorably. You are not allowed to stray.
Remarkably, they are reminding Blacks and Hispanics relentlessly that they now detest them just as much as whites who voted for Trump. Even going so far as to paint them with the same broad brush.
The race-baiting Al Sharpton got proceedings kicked off when, during an appearance on "Morning Joe," he railed against both groups for fomenting "a lot of misogyny."
"I think that we've got to be honest," Sharpton said. "Among Hispanic men and black men there's a lot of misogyny. And I think that we've got to deal with the reality that he (Trump) appealed to this whole false macho thing."
Speaking of "Morning Joe," host Joe Scarborough himself echoed those sentiments in separate commentary.
“Democrats need to be mature, and they need to be honest. And they need to say, ‘Yes, there is misogyny, but it’s not just misogyny from white men,’” Scarborough asserted.
“It’s misogyny from Hispanic men, it’s misogyny from black men — things we’ve all been talking about — who do not want a woman leading them."
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough says that Kamala Harris lost to Donald Trump because blacks and Latinos are sexist and Latinos are racist:

Scarborough would go on to suggest there “might be race issues with Hispanics that don’t want a black woman as president of the United States.”
Sunny Hostin, co-host of "The View," offered her usual simplistic analysis when she claimed a county in Texas consisting mostly of Latinos went for Trump solely because of "misogyny and sexism."
Hostin, who raises the collective IQ of that panel on any given day from 75 to 76, fleshed out her inane comments.
"What is wrong with this country that they would choose a message of divisiveness, of xenophobia, of racism, of misogyny, over a message of inclusiveness, a message for the people, by the people, of the people?" she asked.
The irony here is that these people are big-mad that a Black voter or an Hispanic voter would dare venture to the other side. It is, quite literally, an argument against inclusiveness.
Hostin's colleague, Ana Navarro, kept the hatred flowing on Friday, unleashing an absolute tirade against nearly every demographic she could think of.
"Black people voted for somebody they know is a racist," she accused. "Latinos voted for somebody they know is going to deport their abuela.”
“Puerto Ricans voted for somebody they know treats them like trash and has people around them who actually calls them trash," Navarro continued. "White women voted for somebody they know took away their reproductive rights.”
Ana Navarro lashes out at minorities for supporting Trump:

“So all of those things are hard for people like me to understand," Navarro said.
Volumes, on par with a set of Encyclopedias from Brittanica, could be written about things you don't understand, Ana.
Let's start with your fundamental lack of understanding of illegal immigration, as evidenced by that time you started filing your nails during a segment discussing violent crimes committed by illegals. Or the time you used your disabled brother and other relatives with Down syndrome and autism as examples of why some women might want to have an abortion.
Navarro has an extensive curriculum vitae filled with topics she doesn't understand. Hostin, Scarborough, and Sharpton aren't far behind. Joining their ignorance is the left's magnum opus of stupidity, Joy Reid.
Reid pointed the finger of blame at Blacks and Hispanics for not carrying Kamala across the finish line.
"There's this idea that 'I'm black but I'm not black. I may look black to you; I may be black if I'm walking through Bloomingdale's and get followed around, but in my mind I'm identifying with whiteness, because whiteness means privilege and means not being a black American,'" Reid said.
If you can navigate that statement, I award you a gold star. Essentially, it reads, "Black people can be white supremacists too."
Reid specifically called out the Latino community for further scrutiny, suggesting they are racist and opposed mixed-race marriages. No, I'm not kidding.
"Latino men, who, despite the utter disrespect shown by Trump and his promise to deport some of your mixed-status families, most of them voted in a 55 percent majority to make the deportations happen," she blathered on. "Y’all voted with Stephen Miller and David Duke and against your own sisters, who chose Kamala Harris with 60 percent of their votes."
NEW: Joy Reid accuses black and latino men that voted for Trump of “anti-blackness” and "identifying with whiteness."

Blacks and Hispanics are ... David Duke? Didn't see that one coming.
To my Black and Hispanic friends: Did you think for a minute that you'd suddenly be lumped into the same categories people on the right have been for years on end? We're all white supremacists. We're all haters of women.
I'll bet before Tuesday, you thought you were pretty open-minded. But man, did the left turn their backs on you in a hurry.
There have been some Democrats who have pleaded with their colleagues to stop referring to everybody who doesn't agree with them as racists and/or misogynists.
DNC official Lindy Li, in an interview on Fox News, urged her party to recognize that the massive red wave they were engulfed in on Election Day is slightly bigger than simply boiling it down to hatred of their candidate.
"This wasn’t a squeaker, it wasn’t a margin-of-error race. She resoundingly lost and we really have to be introspective and realize that we cannot just call Americans racist and bigots and say that that is the reason why Kamala Harris lost," insisted Li. "There are other reasons that we can go into, but you can’t just vilify an entire country. It doesn’t work like that."
Sorry, but your own media supporters aren't listening. They've vilified Republicans for years. Now, they've added Blacks and Hispanics to their sights. Basically, they despise anyone in this country who doesn't agree with their politics.
The left is the party of hate, which now includes every skin color. The right is allowing everyone into a massive tent of inclusivity.
Welcome to the party.
