star Bradley Whitford suggested Wednesday that Kamala Harris’ landslide election loss at least partially came about because we live in a “racist and sexist” country.

Reflecting on the loss, which has seen every swing state break for Trump thus far, Whitford waxed poetic on what a second Trump term means for the country. He suggested the crippling defeat, which came on the same night the GOP regained control of the U.S. Senate and likely retained its House majority, meant Democrats needed to come together and “fight” for their values.
“Despair is a luxury our children cannot afford, and action is the antidote to despair, and we will continue the fight to hold this country up to its spectacular, unfulfilled aspiration,” he said. “Cynicism and despair is what they want you to feel, and despair is a luxury that the future can’t afford.”
