‘Catastrophe’, ‘incompetence’: MAGA responds to midterm blowout
On President Donald Trump’s favorite TV shows, there is none of the election denialism that characterized his 2020 loss. But there is a whole lot of disbelief — and some early signs of disagreement about the best path forward for the Republican Party.
After acknowledging the GOP’s losses, many right-wing programs and podcasts made a familiar pivot to denigrating Democrats, especially newly elected senators like James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed. Commentators called them “commies,” “crazy people” and dozens of other insults.
CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter and senior correspondent Donie O’Sullivan unpack MAGA media’s response to the election results, and Anderson Cooper speaks with filmmaker Ken Burns.
