Joy Reid: I'll Explain Impeachment Simply So Even Trump Supporters Can Understand
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 11/09/2019 11:21:26 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Liberals love to condescend to conservatives, imagining us to be a bunch of benighted rubes. We poor, misguided souls will see the light once the veil is lifted from our eyes by kindly liberals carefully explaining things at a level within the ken of our limited intellectual capacity.

Combine that with the trope of relatives arguing politics over Thanksgiving, and you have Joy Reid this morning on her MSNBC show. She imagined a "cranky Uncle Roscoe" yelling "read the transcript!" She promised to provide viewers with all they needed to know about impeachment, so they could "easily explain [it] to Uncle Roscoe and Auntie Carol."

Reid counseled viewers to eschew describing the cast of characters, or trying to explain "quid pro quo." Instead, she suggested that people keep it simple by saying that Trump engaged in extortion and bribery in his dealings with the Ukrainian government.

Reid condescendingly concluded: "even Uncle Roscoe and Auntie Carol ought to understand that."

That was Melissa Harris-Perry.

But who are these "they" who are all so alike?

There’s got to be a level of amusement here that offsets all the frustration of watching MSNBC. (like carbon credits... or something)

I’m surprised Chris Wallace hasn’t hired Joy Reid away to anchor some FoxNews show...
