Go ahead and inject this into my veins. Former Democrat Senator Claire McCaskill, now an MSNBC contributor, was left in tears while discussing Kamala Harris’s landslide defeat to Donald Trump.
And man, was it ever glorious.
The emotional breakdown occurred following Harris’ concession speech delivered Wednesday on the campus of Howard University. Harris vowed to keep up the fight.
“The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” Harris said. “But hear me when I say … the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”
That, it seems, is what moved McCaskill to tears.
Claire McCaskill Is Beside Herself With Grief
During MSNBC’s coverage of the speech, anchor Nicole Wallace noticed that her colleague, Claire McCaskill, was struggling to keep it together.
“I mean, in that mission and that purpose, Claire McCaskill, will determine,” Wallace began, before noticing something was amiss. “Um, you okay?”
Those three words might as well be slapped to our foreheads as we all try to navigate around our liberal friends during this very difficult time for them.
“I think I’m okay,” McCaskill replied.
She wasn’t. And Wallace, probably wishing she had a couch for the former Senator to lay down on, responded, “Tell me what you’re thinking.”
Ya know, some psychiatrists get paid $375/hour for that kind of therapy.

Harris Ran An Amazing Campaign, She Insists
Claire McCaskill, like many Harris supporters, is struggling to cope with Donald Trump’s massive, historic victory. Whereas they’ve spent the past two years genuinely believing the man was going to jail, he is instead the President-Elect, heading back to the White House.
Not since Grover Cleveland in 1893 has America had a President get elected to non-consecutive terms.
What a time to be alive!
Claire though, wants people to know just how great Kamala’s campaign was. So great, that she had to repeatedly wipe tears away while recalling its greatness.
“Well, I’m so proud — ah, I’m so proud of her,” she said fighting off the vapors. “I don’t think people realize how hard it is to get to where she was.”
“Um, as a woman, getting elected DA, it’s not easy, guys. People don’t trust women to be in charge of making decisions about life and death and crime and being, frankly, a supervisor in some ways over police.”
“Her fighting through the primary thicket of California politics to become Attorney General, really hard,” McCaskill continued. “I mean, this is really hard stuff.”
“People don’t trust women to be in charge” – Ah, the ol’ misogyny angle. Where would Democrats be without it and its close sister, ‘everyone’s a racist.’
