MSNBC’s Symone Sanders Points Finger at White Women For Harris Losing to Trump

MSNBC political commentator Symone Sanders-Townsend took issue, as others on the network have this week, with describing Donald Trump voters as “Working class”, and suggested, as colleague Joy Reid did on Tuesday, that White women are uniquely at fault in the resounding defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris.

I’ve been very dismayed, actually, by this whole working class voter conversation because are Black people not working class? Okay. If it was really about the issues, if it’s really about the message. How did that message break through to Black working class people and it didn’t break through to the majority of anybody else?

And I see y’all White women and Hispanic voters out there that are in my inbox right now saying, but we voted for her. Yes, but let me explain how this works. Okay. As Black woman in America, if something happens, and somebody does something.
