Millions of Americans today will gather around the kitchen table to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families. For Joy Reid, though, this is just another day to bash our beloved nation.
Reid opened her show last night by acknowledging Thanksgiving is a day of “cherished traditions” for millions of Americans who also enjoy “turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.” But then she said this:
“But it is also to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies. It is built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn. A simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed.
It’s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks. Because here is the secret they want so desperately to keep: we are a country founded on violence. Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead.”
None of this should surprise Gateway Pundit readers. In addition to her loathing of America, Reid has a long history of unabashed racism as well. The Gateway Pundit in January wrote about her ripping white Christian conservatives. Here is the video of her lashing out:

Doesn't that mean that MSNBC was "Founded on Violence" ?
Yale University was "Founded on Slave Trading."
If the bitch had a clue about history, she’d know that not many nations were created WITHOUT VIOLENCE. You have to expect ignorance from a single digit I.Q., racist bigot. Although she was trashing Thanksgiving, I’ll bet she was shoving down turkey and pumpkin pie all day. She needs to go to Afrika where the countries are more peaceful and would never dream of selling neighboring tribes as slaves.
Maybe Iceland.
Did the Viking drive off some eskimos?
The Puritans settled on what was empty land, because the natives had died of disease.
Really?
Slavery was a step up from killing and eating the conquered.
Only fairytale is that she has a brain.
Yet this millionaire, oppressed simpleton stays here where she is totally miserable and trying to make others the same.
If there is a better country, she should move there. Certainly, they want migrants.
Yep, like maybe Nimrod’s empire, or how about Babylon, Persia, Greece or Rome, and a hundred more. That beyotch is such a beyotch.
i am willing to chip in to repatriate every problem race clown that is not 100% committed to be an integrated American citizen.
If that means “actin’ white”, tough shiite.
I wonder who sold them the slaves.
Any one having been around Joy Reid very long would become violent. She’s the biggest clown on TV.
Of course, there was no violence here before Europeans arrived. Not a bit. Nope.
You see…it’s not difficult to be content. Lol.
Reid and her fellow haters are free to think what they will, but I’m not going to let them cancel thanking our Heavenly Father for giving the ancestors of many Americans the courage to face the hardships and the unknown to come here. I doubt many of us would willingly go through what they did, and we owe them some gratitude and respect, as well.
Once-upon-a-time, saying something like this on air would get you so fired, you’d be running out the door wearing ashes.
Thanksgiving is a national family holiday that has come to be respected internationally because it is so nice.
Wakanda already rejected her. Too backwards and primitive, they said.
Happy Thanksgiving, “JOY”! It was a great and happy day with family and friends!
BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!
MSNBC dumped the vile Tiffany Cross. I think Joy Reid is next.
