The homepage of The Huffington Post after the results of the New Hampshire primary elections were announced. Huffington Post on Trump win: ‘Racist, sexist demagogue’

The Huffington Post went nuclear Tuesday night with the news that Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary.

A giant banner headline on the website's homepage said New Hampshire had gone "racist," "sexist" and "xenophobic."

"A Racist, Sexist Demagogue Just Won The New Hampshire Primary," read the headline on the story itself. A secondary headline read: "Donald Trump seriously did it."

For months, the site has grappled with how to cover Trump, who has made controversial comments about women, Muslims and refugees, among others.

Recently, the site started appending an editor’s note to the bottom of posts about the Republican presidential contender, calling him a "racist," a "liar" and a "xenophobe" and reminding readers of his proposal to ban all Muslims from entering the United States.

Earlier this summer, the site moved Trump coverage off its politics vertical and onto the entertainment vertical, though it reversed the move in December.

The conservative Washington Free Beacon also went with a banner to play on democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders' New Hampshire win, leading its site with "RED DAWN."
