MSNBC’s The 11th Hour host Brian Williams promised that his show would “cancel” itself after the election, but it was still alive on Wednesday night providing an enclave for liberal meltdowns over Donald Trump’s electoral win as Demos head Heather McGhee insisted that Donald Trump’s “megaphone” of racism followed in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan “perfect[ing] the dog whistle talking about welfare queens.”

McGhee built up to this liberal playing of the race card by first lamenting that “ever since Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, no majority of white voters has voted for a democratic president and that's something that a lot of folks in white liberal enclaves don't actually really sort of absorb as a fact.”
