Just seconds after Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the United States Supreme Court, MSNBC hosts suffered a meltdown, raging against a country founded on “the idea that being a free white” man gives you all the power. Host Joy Reid suggested that feeling returned on Saturday as Mitch McConnell imposed a form of tyranny. Reid slimed, “Mitch McConnell has decided that order means that people like Mitch McConnell, men like him rule. He believes in rule. Democrats tend to believe in governing. Republicans believe in rule.”

Referencing protests in the Senate during the vote, she ranted, “This is Mitch McConnell’s rule. He is restoring order as he and people like him understand it. And they will impose it on the people like those people who are protesting.”

According to Reid, the confirmation of Kavanaugh means: “Women who are shrieking out in agony, saying ‘You cannot impose this on us, you can't send us back to the '50s.’ But Mitch McConnell says, ‘Yes I can. I can impose order on you.’”

Making it racial, she noted, “This is a country that was founded, to be blunt, on the idea that being a free white landed male gave you super citizenship, that you were more a citizen than anyone else.”

Chris Matthews, only slightly less unhinged, found this meaning: “Democrats want everyone's intention to vote to count. Here again Democrats want all the voices heard. Go out and find the witnesses. Don't give us a one week time limit.”

Reid then accused McConnell of “bringing the darkness” by confirming Kavanaugh:

And Mitch McConnell said “We all know the events of recent weeks have strained the Senate’s comity and fanned the flames of partisan discords.” Well, my God, who has done that more than Mitch McConnell? Mitch McConnell broke the Senate and then urged people to come back from the darkness. He brought the darkness.

MSNBC hosts are never subtle. They never miss an opportunity to smear Republicans as evil racists.
