Several liberal “news” outlets have become triggered that black men increasingly voted for Republicans in the 2018 election. These liberal outlets are confused as they continue trying to figure out why that “blue wave” did not materialize to the extent that they thought it was going to.
On Friday, the Washington Post, for instance, tweeted out the question: “What’s up with all those black men who voted for the Republican in the Georgia governor’s race?”

Trending: New AP History School Book Claims Trump is Mentally Ill, His Voters All Racists
The November 23 story, written by black writer Vanessa Williams, the Post was gobsmacked that black men voted for Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp (who eventually won the election).
But another group of voters also raised eyebrows for how they voted in the race, in which Abrams fell about 17,000 votes short of forcing a runoff with Kemp.
Black men voted for Kemp at a higher rate than black women, according to exit polling, a data point that drew gasps and rebuke on social media and news commentary.
According to network exit polling provided by CNN, 11 percent of black men voted for Kemp; the Associated Press’s VoteCast reported 8 percent.
But that wasn’t the end of Williams’ triggered state. She went on to whine about the black men supporting President Donald Trump.
“Those numbers are reminiscent of the double-digit level of support that Donald Trump got among black men in the 2016 presidential election,” Williams wrote. “Trump endorsed Kemp, which helped him win a runoff primary contest in July, and he traveled to Georgia to stump for Kemp two days before the Nov. 6 election.”
The Boston Globe also got in the act of triggered lefties losing their tiny hive mind over black men leaving the liberal plantation with an ignorant piece entitled, “Memo to black men: Stop voting Republican.”
Many Twitter users were amused at the triggered leftists and they lambasted the papers for their racist garbage.
"What's up with all those white men who voted for Barack Obama?"
If you consider that a racist question, then it's official …
Vanessa Williams of the Washington Post (@WaPoVanessa) is a racist.https://t.co/K5xHSizckI

They rejected the identity politics that Democrats like to run on in every election. For Kemp to get 11% of Black men vote is the reason Stacey Abrams isn’t Gov in Georgia.

Just wow! When I think of self-reliant black men, I think of the engineer in the next cube or my insurance agent. The #racists at @thefix @washingtonpost think of guys hustling CDs at the barbershop.
