Brian Stelter Says the Blue Wave Happened

Newsbusters-

Did the news media underappreciate the strength of the blue wave in the House on Tuesday night? Five days later it sure looks that way,” he began the segment by pompously declaring. “Back on Tuesday wave spotters said the midterms were not delivering the huge repudiation of President Trump that the Democrats wanted to deliver.”

Stelter played a clip from his unhealthy obsession, Fox News. In the clip, Democratic commentator Juan Williams said it felt more like a “purple rain”. “That’s a good line, right,” Stelter laughed, “and it reflects the Democrats disappointment about Beto O’Rourke coming short in Texas and the challenges in Georgia and Florida.”

Meanwhile, there were some predictions that said the GOP would lose close to or more than 60 seats in the House. Not only did the GOP blunt that, but they also flipped three Democrat Senate seats and held onto key governorships. And months beforehand there were other predictions that suggested the GOP would lose the Senate.

Desperately looking for better results, Stelter noted: “Votes are still being counted in Arizona, and California, and other states and recounts are taking place. So it now appears the Democrats will pick up at least 35 seats in the House. I mean, here’s the map already. They’re already far ahead of the 23 they needed in the House.”
