MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, a former Democratic U.S. Senator, expressed bitterness over the lack of severe political consequences for Donald Trump's actions on January 6th. She highlighted the deeply divided nature of the country, where a significant portion of Trump supporters were driven by anti-establishment sentiment and a desire for change amidst economic and social anxieties.
MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill, also a former Democratic U.S. Senator, said on Monday’s “Deadline” that she felt “bitter” President-elect Donald Trump did not pay a “higher political price” for what he did on January 6.
McCaskill said, “Well, today was certainly a bittersweet day. And, candidly, I’m bitter. I mean, I’m bitter that a higher political price wasn’t paid for what Donald Trump did on January 6. Something is broken and we need to acknowledge that. And the other thing we have to keep front of mind, Nicolle, is that Donald Trump didn’t win 50 percent of the votes. This is an evenly divided country. It’s about half and half.
She continued, “We cannot tune out. We have to tune in. 50% of the country agrees with us. 50% of the country doesn’t want this.” McCaskill added, “So there’s work to do here, and you know, together we are going do it. Others on this network are going to do it, but the people in this country have to decide that they don’t quit fighting just because Donald Trump won the Electoral College and that’s what Kamala Harris represented today, and she did it with a smile on her face. I couldn’t be prouder of her.
