POLL: What was the worst media take of the week? (Vote below)
NOMINEES:
1. Trump Voters Threw the “Republic Into the Trash”
“The choice that they’ve [Trump voters] made — we have to just be honest — is to literally throw the republic into the trash bin….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….We would rather destroy the republic than for that to have happened.”
— MSNBC contributor/Princeton University professor Eddie Glaude on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House, April 7.
2. Ana Navarro: Comatose Joe Biden Better Than Donald Trump
“I always said I would prefer - you know - Joe Biden in a coma, over Trump, and I maintain that.”
— Co-host Ana Navarro on ABC’s The View, April 4.
3. Elie Mystal: U.S. Constitution Is a “Piece of Crap”
“When South Africa got over apartheid, did they just go back to their Afrikaner racist constitution…No! They threw the whole thing out and started again….and they came up with a new constitution. It’s one of the reasons why the South African constitution is generally thought of as one of the best constitutions in the world and ours continues to be a piece of crap.”
— The Nation justice correspondent Elie Mystal on the syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club, April 3.
