As Donald Trump swept on Super Tuesday, MSNBC anchors Jen Psaki, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow publicly mocked Republican primary voters in Virginia for saying immigration was their biggest concern.
They mocked voters while analyzing early polls.

Public mockery of voters concerned about uncontrolled immigration
“I live in Virginia,” the New York Post reported. “Immigration was the No. 1 issue,” Psaki said, drawing laughter from Joy Reid.
“Well, Virginia has a border with West Virginia, which is a very contested area,” the newspaper added, drawing more laughs from its co-hosts.
In a later part of the debate, Reid issued a sweeping circular, claiming Republicans were voting against their own economic interests because of racism and bigotry.
“They are not voting on an economic basis, or on the basis of the economic benefits they get from the president,” she said.
“They vote on race. They're voting on the idea of black people being invaded across the border, and the idea that they can't get the job they want.
The story of the post continues:
Reed, who is black, also claimed that GOP supporters want to “kick all black people out of college” and get rid of diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
“They're just voting specifically on racial animus at this point. “It's not about the economy,” the host of MSNBC's “The ReidOut” declared, and Psaki nodded in agreement.

Ignorant elites
Although MSNBC hosts ignored a very real concern for ordinary Americans, a recent Gallup poll showed that immigration has become a major concern among voters.
This poll, released in late February, showed that 28% of Americans listed immigration as their top concern, compared to 20% in January.
This may be a trivial thing for MSNBC personalities to mock, but for the working class, they see a real problem in that it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
These are the same kind of hosts who are confused about why Donald Trump is doing so well and their preferred candidate, Democratic President Joe Biden, is doing so poorly.
They will continue to bury their heads in the sand, laughing all the time.
But come November, they will likely face a harsh awakening.
