MSNBC host Joy Reid managed to make three different errors in a single tweet attacking President Donald Trump's choice in marriages.

Reid appeared to be shaming Trump on Friday for marrying two women who were not Americans, but from former "Soviet Yugoslavia."

Joy Reid ✔ @JoyAnnReid

Donald Trump married one American (his second wife) and two women from what used to be Soviet Yugoslavia: Ivana-Slovakia, Melania-Slovenia. 11:21 AM - 21 Jul 2017

1. Yugoslavia was never part of the Soviet Union or in its sphere of influence. On the contrary, the communist country was well-known throughout the Cold War for its rocky relationship with Moscow.

2. Slovakia was never a part of Yugoslavia. As the name suggests, Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia until the country broke apart in 1993.

3. Ivana Trump is not Slovakian. She was born and raised in what is today the Czech Republic. An ethnic Czech, she even taught the language to her oldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

Reid was ridiculed for her errors, as well as the "xenophobic" attitude underlying the tweet.

Oh how I love it. It is fun to watch a Liberal hater’s statements ripped apart for all to see. This is going to be fun.

Only three?

Well, she only had 140 characters.

RE:”2. Slovakia was never a part of Yugoslavia. As the name suggests, Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia until the country broke apart in 1993.”

She must have been thinking of the nation of ‘Slavia’

She is ugly and dumb.

GEOGRAPHER JOY REID

[Leep]

What i enjoyed the most was i had to think for a moment who is Joy Reid? Then i remembered...

[Snickering Hound]

At least she was just Miss Teen South Carolina...

[Parley Baer]

Joey Reid is nothing but one big error.

[Noumenon]

Joy Reid IS a factual error.

[Mr. K]

I felt so sorry for that poor girl :(

Then the next week Sean Hannity asked her a more ‘standard’ question and you could see her launch into a totally memorized answer.

Beautiful girl... I wonder whatever happened to her?

[fella]

She’s much more ignorant than she looks and sounds.

[SaveFerris]

Hey, at least she was pretty ......... ;)

OTOH, Joy Reid probably knows all the geography of local buffets.....

[SaveFerris]

Liberals don’t need no stinkin’ facts ........ (insert any of 100 standard dumb liberal chants and rants).

[EQAndyBuzz]

Affirmative Action has a price.

MSNBC should just put that in the chryon whenever Joy is on camera. It would explain a lot.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Mooo !

[SaveFerris]

This is the liberal’s idea of “a smart person”.

Just like Obama.

[fieldmarshaldj]

If Mad Maxine Waters had a sister.

[Farmer Dean]

She is proof that we should have picked our own cotton however.
