Jonathan Alter Sneers: ‘Decency Lost Last Night’

[See NewsBusters for more.] The liberal sulking over Donald Trump’s win on election night continued on MSNBC, Wednesday. The former editor of Newsweek Jonathan Alter huffed, “This is so, so dispiriting. I think decency lost last night. And that's what's so hurtful about this. Not just that Hillary Clinton lost, but our image of who we are as a people, that we're tolerant, decent people suffered a real setback.” Casually invoking the Nazis, he continued, “We face challenges in the past to our democratic system, throughout American history slavery to, you know, Naziism.” Prior to the election, Alter worried that the “well-being of millions” is at stake.
