Meltdown: A Collection Of The Most Insane Tweets From Election Night

Left-wing political and cultural commentators were upset Tuesday night when Republicans swept key races in Virginia.

The most outrageous reactions included accusations of racism against Virginia voters and specific charges of “white supremacy.”

Notably, however, Republican Winsome Sears defeated Democrat Hala Ayala for lieutenant governor to become the first black woman to hold office statewide in Virginia, Republican Jason Miyares defeated sitting Democrat Attorney General Mark Herring to become the state’s first Latino AG, and Republican Glenn Youngkin upset Democrat favorite Terry McAuliffe in the gubernatorial race, replacing Democrat Gov. Ralph Northam, who was reportedly photographed in his medical school yearbook in either blackface or a KKK outfit — it was never determined which.

Bringing in perhaps the most blunt out-there tweet was Jemele Hill, who predictably railed at “white supremacy” for the rejection of the Democrat agenda.

“It’s not the messaging, folks,” she wrote. “This country simply loves white supremacy.”

Rutgers associate professor Brittney Cooper echoed Hill: “White supremacy is indefatigable. That truth is both personal and political this week. Long way of saying I’m tired.”

“White women voters are footsoldiers of white supremacist patriarchy,” said feminist writer Mona Eltahawy. “In their majority they voted GOP long before Trump because they benefit from white supremacy and they undergird right-wing populism – as voters and candidates. #Election2021.”

Podcast host Kimberley Johnson blamed “white supremacy,” too.

“The fact this VA election is close… Youngkin offered no political strategy, he ran on Trumpism, on banning CRT from grade school even though they don’t teach it in grade school[.] It’s all racism. White supremacy is ugly,” she posted, later adding, “White supremacy is so ugly and watching so many white people defend it, fight for it, or just accept it because they don’t feel personally affected by it makes my stomach churn.”
