W. Kamau Bell: ‘Voters Ran Toward’ Racism, Misogyny, Xenophobia
EXCERPT:
CABRERA: “Donald Trump has been impeached twice. He was indicted four times, convicted on 34 felony counts. He's been found liable of sexual abuse. His campaign spewed a lot of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, but voters seem to overlook all of that. I mean, just on the last part, the kind of language we heard. It was mean. Why has that seemingly become acceptable in America?"
BELL: "Respectfully, I don't think voters overlooked it. I think voters ran towards it. I think voters loved it. I think we have found out, after much want for the contrary, we live in a right-wing country. This is what it is. He's going to win the popular vote, it looks like, if I'm correct in understanding that. This is the country we live in. People at this point want a strongman who's a bully, and they got a strongman who's a bully.”
