Joy Reid declared that she has become a “former” New York Giants fan after quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a rally in New York last month — ripping the signal-caller as an “idiot”.
The former MSNBC host made the remarks during an appearance on the left-leaning MeidasTouch podcast “On Sunday with Jack Cocchiarella.”
Reid blasted Dart while discussing the fallout from the Giants quarterback’s introduction of Trump at an event in Rockland County on May 22.
“[A]s somebody who grew up as a Giants fan I was repulsed by Jackson Dart,” Reid said.
Reid zeroed in on Dart’s wording during the introduction, ridiculing him for saying he was “pleasured” to meet the president.
“First of all he didn’t say he was happy he said he was pleasured to meet the president,” Reid said.
“I’m pleasured to meet — like what does that even mean? First of all he’s an idiot, okay? What do you mean you’re pleasure[d] to meet the president? Like is English your first language? What are you saying?”
Reid said the appearance was enough to sour her on the franchise she supported growing up.
“I was really kind of repulsed as a Giants fan — former now,” she said.
The comments came days after Dart publicly addressed criticism over his appearance alongside Trump at Rockland Community College.
“Obviously this was a unique opportunity, being asked and given the opportunity to introduce the President of the United States,” Dart told reporters.
“My thinking was pretty simple in the fact, I’ve always loved this country,” he said, adding that members of his family served in the military and that he has “always” respected the office of the presidency “regardless of political affiliation.”
Dart also acknowledged the scrutiny that comes with being the quarterback of the Giants.

And.... the rest of Giants’ fandom heaves a collective sigh of relief.
BZZZZT! Sorry. Your time is up.
Who cares what Racist Reid has to say?
What an exceptionally small person Joy Reid is
Thanks for keeping me updated on your thinking Joy.
As long as the NFL and their idiot fans are ok with disrespecting the National Anthem and what it stands for- the Flag- they can talk and protest all they want. I, for one, have no interest
The problem is that Republicans and especially Republican politicians slink away from this stuff rather than realizing they should be attacking the Democrats for being intolerant and oppressive.
Don’t let those Creeps gaslight you. In a civil society nobody should be attacked for politely introducing the president of the United States I don’t care what party he’s from and of course they don’t attack you when it’s a Democrat you are polite to.
Let it go, Joi. Let it go. You can’t control the words and actions of everybody. Dart doesn’t give a phart what you think.
These sub-human, demonic, POS ignoramouses are truly beyond mentally ill. A pro athlete simply introduces the President that the sociopaths in the Demonic Party hate, and he becomes the recipient of their collective psychotic rage. These people are truly evil and dangerous, as they mindlessly and vilently lash out at anyone who even appears to defy their perverted and ever-changing dictates. How will the Giants football team ever recover? /s
This is like the flood of lefties blackballing their own friends and family members for their support of — or failure to anathematize — Pres. Trump: Grandparents forbidden to see their grandchildren, holiday gatherings ruined, etc. This sort of intolerance is exclusive to leftwingers.
lol! John Harbaugh already reaping the whirlwind of NY
Wait until she finds out Trump is a Knicks fan.
I would have thought that she would have stopped being a Giants fan because Jaxson Dart is white.
Just like the other TDS inflicted libtards.
Let the fans decide. When we have the intro of the first preseason game I’m sure the fans will let us all know whose side they’re on. And it won’t be Carter’s. The guys who come to the game to be rowdy and drink beer they’re the ones that will let you know. And the booing Is going to be ringing down on Carter.
Carter-an idiot demanding an apology. Both he and Dart have something to prove to fully establish themselves in their careers. Now is the time to do it. Dart does his thing outside the team facility on his own time and Carter decides to bring it into the locker room. Carter is a disciplinary problem. He’s got more growing up to do than Dart. Let’s hope it’s not a distraction.
Quick, Joy! How many points does a quarterback get for a grand slam?
“Joy Reid declared that she has become a “former” New York Giants fan after quarterback Jaxson Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a rally in New York last month”. So, she was before?
She’s a friggin’ Yeti ho.
