Joy Reid has been panned for saying she is skeptical of statistics showing a surge in crime because she hasn't heard 'anecdotes from friends' about violent incidents in big cities.

The MSNBC host made the statement on Twitter Friday in response to a new ABC News/ Washington Post poll which found a large number of Americans disapprove of President Biden's handling of the crime wave.

'I've seen more TV stories about crime than the actual anecdotes from friends in NYC or other big cities bear out,' Reid stated.

'I mean summer is when crime always goes up and Shark Week happens perennially, despite the rarity of actual shark attacks. But it's... odd for sure.'

Reid - who resides in the suburbs of Maryland - did not back up her claim with any hard data.

Statistics show shootings in New York City have surged by 43 percent in the past year, while murders are up 12 percent.

These women who take these jobs because they want to compete with men, not because they’re wanting to actually do the job itself, generally don’t know whether they’re coming or going.

My niece in North Carolina used this same asinine argument months ago with my mother when she brought up all the violence and rioting. Because my niece hadn't seen any evidence around her or on the liberal spew shows she watched she intimated that my mother was being manipulated and wanted to know who she was listening to.

Yeah my mother, who escaped Hungary before the Russians completely shut it down, is the one who can't see what's happening and is being manipulated.

I'm old fashioned, I still call them wigs and hairpieces.

Joy Reid is an ugly pig through and through.

Her Pembroke Pines home in FL is in a nice neighborhood. Guessing from the address, her home on Manhattan’s Roosevelt Island ain’t in no ‘hood, either.

There is no undeniable truth, no fact that is so self evident, no axiomatic reality, and no fundamental and universally understood objectivity that cannot be enthusiastically and fervently denied by the media. Arguing that up is down and two plus two equals three flows convincingly and unflinchingly from their mouths, without hesitation, remorse or the faintest pang of conscience. They are as incapable of any impulse of decency as a rabid beast or a gargoyle made of stone. They are irredeemably corrupt and spiritually bankrupt, and devoid of any tattered shred of humanity. They should be positively, vigorously and pro-actively ignored.

Typical Liberal.

When you don’t like the statistics, cite a poll.

When you don’t like the polls, cite some anecdotes.

When you don’t like the anecdotes, misinterpret the Constitution.

When you don’t like the Constitution, cite a media story.

When you don’t like the media, reference a movie.

If you don’t like the movie, cite a statistic.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

Try walking down the street in the hood in those cities, Joy.

And not five steps behind your front security guys and five steps ahead of the back ones. Those ex bouncers scare away a lot of thugs in any hood. Not like our lives.

Yes.

There’s moronic, imbecilic, just plain old dumb....
and lower down there’s Joy Reid.

But then there are the (few) who listen to her daily and believe her. And they vote. Depressing.
