MSNBC anchor Joy Ann Reid was widely ripped on social media, with many deeming a tweet of hers both “racist” and “pro-looting,” after the left-wing national correspondent suggested a warning to potential looters by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) resembled the sentiment of racists during the segregation era.

Reid likened DeSantis to a segregationist on Saturday, after quoting segregation-era Miami Police Chief Walter E. Headley, who, in 1967, stated, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

I thought her show was being cancelled?

[rktman]

Intimated looters are bipoc? Weird....

[cranked]

That is all that ReidIdiot does nearly day in and day out: peddle in racism. And most that ReidIdiot has on her show daily are likewise peddlers in racism. One huge group think extravaganza over there on the show and MSNBC.

[FlipWilson]

The only word that this very dumb person can muster is “racism.”

It’s like MSNBC hired her for the “its racist” desk.

[Sarah Barracuda]

If you want to know about the REAL Joy Reid, read her blog, she claims it was hacked but it wasn’t..that is her true self

[Senator Goldwater]

Please Joy, walk through a door down there in Lee County.

[higgmeister]

Joy Reid, one was a government official warning about his police department using deadly force and the other was a government official warning about armed citizens lawfully using deadly force.

[Steely Tom]

I wonder which political party Walter E. Headley belonged to.

That information seems to be unavailable by Google searching.

[I want the USA back]

It has started. All the insane leftists are aiming their hate at DeSantis. They are creating an imaginary picture of him and are convincing themselves to believe it. They did the same thing for Trump.

So DeSantis will be the subject of the daily “two minute hate.” They will be heaping on him for the hurricane. At this moment, little bureaucrats are conducting unauthorized searches through public records to find something and give it to a waiting media. If they don’t find anything, they will invent it.

She’s so flipping crazy, everyone knows it, she can say anything and still get paid for it.

[ProudVet97]

Isn’t it ironic that the two most nastiest, ugliest, racist and dumbest women on TV are named JOY?

[FamiliarFace]

I haven’t found it either, but if he was such a racist, why did he integrate his police force?

[Steely Tom]

No more ironic than what’s been done to the word GAY.

[KarlInOhio]

Never name your daughters for virtues or ironic karma will get them. Chastity will end up a stripper, Grace will bankrupt you with emergency room visits, Hope will have the suicide hotline on speed dial and Joy will end up an as angry as Behar or Reid.

[No name given]

It’s a savage bitter irony at that.

Dang. I found it, but you really have to dig for it. You have to go back to 2020 when Trump said it to even get started. So, from the Scotsman: "Headley – a Democrat – was on holiday at the time of the clashes between police and mostly black activists protesting the United States' unfair political, social, and economic systems."

Quick item of note: If you want to believe Ickypedia, he may have been quoting the phrase from Bull Connor (a Democrat, also)!

[Bubba_Leroy]

So is it ok to shoot white looters? What about black homeowners, can they shoot looters?

[Sirius Lee]

Racist Reid basically stereotyped looters as being black. BLM should cancel her.

[liberalh8ter]

You mean the ones “she doesn't believe she wrote”, LOL? These idiots are running out of new ways of lying about their words and actions when they're caught.
