  "account": "The “Morning Joe” show couldn’t contain the excitement over Texas’s gubernatorial election results on Wednesday morning. Host Joe Scarborough was in absolute delight, overwhelmed by the overwhelming blue wave that swept through key states. The show marked a historic “blue tsunami,” with Democrats gaining control of the House and the Senate. Scarborough declared that he would’ve never predicted the extent to which Republican strongholds would turn blue. However, one particular result left him speechless. \"Of all the results that I saw — and I think our friends at Fox News felt the same way, because I saw them have to grapple through this — after Hispanics being beaten, and brutalized, and killed, and punched, and treated not like second- or third-class citizens but treated like animals!\" he exclaimed, slamming his fist on the desk. \"Like animals! Last night, Hispanics spoke back. Hispanic Americans, Americans. Americans, and they used their vote. And Gina is the new governor.\" Gina Hinojosa’s victory over the Republican incumbent Greg Abbott in Texas was one of the most significant flips of the night. Scarborough admitted that he wanted to remain neutral on everything, but he couldn’t be neutral about Gina. \"I’m sorry. I want to be down the middle on everything. I can’t on Gina,\" he declared. \"A Hispanic woman trounced Greg Abbott, a man who most people thought was going to win comfortably,\" he added. \"It really — that is just the icing on the cake for so many Hispanics who were beaten and brutalized and were breaking Trump’s way just two years ago.\"",
