Political pundits brutally mocked MSNBC’s coverage of Election Night.
After Republican Glenn Youngkin took a significant lead over Democrat Terry McAuliffe, MSNBC hosts suffered “public meltdowns.” according to Fox News.
This made for “must-see TV among conservatives,” Fox News notes.
Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid and Nicolle Wallace had a very difficult time holding back their feelings.
Maddow, Reid and Wallace spent much of the night making excuses and blaming Youngkin’s success on backlash to critical race theory.
“If you want to give yourself a treat, turn on MSNBC,” Ann Coulter said.
National Review’s Kyle Smith said, “Every conservative I know is watching MSNBC.”
Stephen L. Miller joked, “It’s early yet but MSNBC is pulling a bit ahead in the election meltdown.”
“Still waiting for returns from some of CNN’s more loyal viewers and the late night returns but Joy Reid looks to be pulling away early. Still too close to call though,” he said.
Radio host Buck Sexton said, “MSNBC is currently going through the 7 stages of grief on an endless loop in real time.”
“It’s great, highly recommend,” he added.
More from Fox News:
While conservatives don’t typically watch the liberal network, MSNBC brass will presumably take the additional viewers. MSNBC finished October with its lowest-rated month among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 since October 2015. It was also MSNBC’s worst month among the demo during the primetime hours of 8-11 p.m. since December 2015.
Conservatives might have briefly helped the struggling network attract viewers, but they didn’t exactly like what they saw from MSNBC.
“MSNBC’s election night co-hosts made it clear that they were pessimistic about their chances as they instead continued to lie about gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin, his voters, and Republicans writ large by calling them ‘dangerous’ human beings ‘to our national security’ and racists ‘in fleece’ peddling ‘lies’ about critical race theory,” NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote.
