The recent Virginia Governor’s election, in which Republican Glenn Youngkin beat Democrat Terry McAuliffe and the GOP steamrolled the Democrats statewide, produced more than a few hilarious reactions by leftists.
There are many examples. Here are the top five we liked best.
1. ‘The View’s’ Sonny Hostin says that white Virginia women voted for governor-elect Glenn Youngkin because they wanted to ‘pretend slavery didn’t happen’
Um… what?

In a discussion about critical race theory being taught in schools and white women voting against Democrat Terry McAuliffe, Hostin said,”I suspect that the 57% of white women that voted for Youngkin do want to pretend (slavery) didn’t happen.”
“They don’t want their white children to feel uncomfortable,” she added.
Remember, Joe Biden had won many of those votes just 10 months earlier.
2. CNN’s Van Jones Compares Trump And Youngkin To COVID-19
“When this election is over we will know, have we seen the emergence of the delta variant of Trumpism,” Jones said Tuesday during CNN’s election coverage.
“In other words, Youngkin … same disease, but spreads a lot faster and can get a lot more places,” Jones added.
Van Jones: “Democrats are coming across as annoying and offensive and out-of-touch. I think there is a message here.”

3. MSNBC’s Joy Reid Says Youngkin Win Makes ‘White Nationalist’ GOP ‘Dangerous’
Leave it Joy Reid to make this list!
“These Republicans are dangerous, that this isn’t a party that’s just another political party that disagrees with us on tax policy. That at this point, they’re dangerous,” Reid said to other MSNBC hosts.
Reid added, “They’re dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hardcore stuff. It leads to the January 6 stuff.”
THREAD.

Her blog on the MSNBC.com website produced some cartoonishly racist content, like the above piece.
5. Rachel Maddow Claims Youngkin Got ‘Free Help’ From Fox News
Yep. The MSNBC host believed Youngkin got “free help” from Fox News and that helped him win.
Because, you know, MSNBC never gives any Democrats “free help.”
