Liberal commentator Joy Reid slammed Trump voters and described Florida as “far-right fascist” after the Sunshine State was chosen for the Republican candidate.
Reid participated in the MSNBC election panel on Tuesday and criticized as the votes progressed, with Trump tentatively taking the lead.
“Think about the last two weeks and the things that Donald Trump has said on television that people were able to hear him say and do,” he said.
“Vulgarity in front of families with small children and threats of mass deportation and a violent start to his dictatorship from day one, whatever.”
Reid appeared on MSNBC’s election night panel Tuesday and lashed out as the votes came in and Trump took the tentative lead.
Reid said he couldn’t imagine Trump could still win the support of half the population despite his often controversial stances, noting that reflects poorly on the American public.

‘If all that gives you half the votes… what does it tell you?
“We need to really take a step back and think about what that says about us.”
After Trump called Florida earlier in the afternoon, Reid said, “It’s a pure Project 2025 in Florida in miniature.”
“Does that far-right, fascist-type government in Florida make it a more attractive place?”
And when Texas came calling for Trump, Reid described black voters in Houston as “deeply repressed.”
Her comments sparked a wave of online outrage among outspoken Trump supporters, some of whom said they wanted her to be “removed from the panel.”
Political commentator Collin Rugg said: “Joy Reid seems increasingly worried, she seems to suggest that half the country is sick.”
“And the crisis begins,” said another.
Conservative commentator Ann Coulter said, “This is turning out to be a good night to watch MSNBC.”
Reid has been scathing in his assessment of Trump in the months leading up to the election.
In July, she suggested that Trump was partly to blame for the assassination attempt against her and warned black voters that they would look “really weird and very lonely” if they didn’t back the “extraordinary woman of color” Kamala Harris.
Harris’ path to victory through Tuesday night is narrow.
