Trump slams 'NO talent' MSNBC anchor Joy Reid: 'Had a bad reputation'
Fox ^ | 9/14/2019 | Sam Dorman

President Trump ripped into one of his fiercest critics, claiming she lacked the talent needed to succeed in media.

Donald Trump

Who the hell is Joy-Ann Reid? Never met her, she knows ZERO about me, has NO talent, and truly doesn’t have the “it” factor needed for success in showbiz and now works for the Comcast/NBC losers making up phony stories about me. Low Ratings. Fake News!

Reid released a book in June that described Trump as "The Man Who Sold America."

Joy Reid

I wrote The Man Who Sold America as a history - just to get it all down before the firehose floods the memory hole - and as a plea. America should not be reduced to a marketing gimmick and money-making scheme for one man. Trump has even stolen the Fourth.

Kirkus Reviews Another heated examination of the current president, who "seems ripped right out of [a] comic book supervillain universe."

Reid previously faced criticism as offensive posts surfaced from an old blog she maintained.

The Daily Beast, which had suspended Reid as a contributor, conducted its own investigation and concluded that claims “screenshot manipulation” took place were false.

Trump's Saturday tweet prompted a wave of responses from Twitter users in defense of the host.

Scott Dworkin

Trump attacked Joy Reid because he’s absolutely terrified of her. He should be. She’s the first person to really elevate The Resistance. She took my report on his Russian ties seriously and helped expose the scandal in late 2016. Trump is a racist, weak and senile coward.

Sherrilyn Ifill

Well it seems JoyAnnReid has the President flustered this morning. Keep doing what you do Joy - truth, journalistic rigor, spot-on analysis, professionalism.

David Leavitt

Joy-Ann Reid is a smart, independent, and beautiful woman with her own show.

Joe Walsh, who’s challenging Trump for the 2020 Republican nomination, criticized the president for attacking “a private citizen.”

“Whereby the President of the United States once again personally attacks a private citizen. This time @JoyAnnReid. Trump will lose in 2020 because we can do much better than having such an unfit, thin-skinned, cruel, narcissistic bully in the White House,” he tweeted.

[she knows ZERO about me, has NO talent]

Well, Mr. President, that makes her perfect. For MSNBC.

It’s all the qualities they look for. That and severe TDS.

She’s never had to answer for having the FBI investigate her ridiculous claim that someone hacked her social media to write anti-gay comments in her name. Let’s get a microscope back on that!

Real news would be if somebody supported Biden - or Trump - on Joy Reid’s show.

Reid previously faced criticism as offensive posts surfaced from an old blog she maintained. Critics also took issue with her claim that those posts — described as “homophobic” — came from a third party that allegedly hacked her site.

The Daily Beast, which had suspended Reid as a contributor, conducted its own investigation and concluded that claims made by Reid’s cyber-security expert Jonathan Nichols that “screenshot manipulation” took place were false.

Critics have also pointed to the Internet archival service The Wayback Machine, which showed that the anti-gay articles were preserved at the time they were written and refuted the suggestion that hackers could have manipulated the archives.

The Man Who Sold America

I though that was Barry the Muslim that literally SOLD this Country out. I guess Jimmy Carter did too with the Panama Canal.

Maybe President Trump should just prove her right and SELL CALIFORNIA BACK TO MEXICO!!!

Joy R. is bias to the point of being a raciest. She of course adores BHO regardless of how corrupt he is....that is a fact. Another fact...Muller and Co. took two years, millions of dollars to coverup the crimes of President Obama and his Secretary of State...Joy Reid is more than culpable in that lie. Reid also supports open borders:

and this:

Reid is another bitter Black woman who hates America. Who needs another Black racist.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid threatened colleague with violence, was homophobic during her radio days, ex-bosses say

MSNBC star Joy Reid physically threatened a senior colleague, accused a Republican politician of being gay on air and often referred to her hateful blog during a short-lived stint as a radio show co-host more than a decade ago, former superiors at the station told Fox News.

One described the host of MSNBC’s “AM Joy” as having been an “evil woman” in those days.

Reid has recently come under fire for old blog posts in which she made homophobic and anti-Semitic remarks, encouraged people to check out a 9/11 conspiracy-theory documentary that claims the U.S. government carried out the attacks, and shared an image of U.S. Sen. John McCain’s head PhotoShopped onto the body of the 2007 Virginia Tech gunman.

But now, Reid faces fresh questions over her conduct during her brief but “toxic” time as a co-host and producer of “Wake Up South Florida” on radio station WTPS 1080 AM between 2006 and 2007.

Threat of physical violence

Andre Eggelletion, former lead host of the morning show with Reid, recently spoke out about her for the first time in more than a decade, saying Reid created “the most toxic work environment I’ve ever experienced” and threatened him with violence.

“It was a very unhealthy work environment because of her attitude. She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her,” he revealed to Fox News.

“I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her.”

— Andre Eggelletion, former leading host of “Wake Up South Florida” on WTPS 1080 AM.

The incident was corroborated by Lee Michaels, then-national program director for Syndication One, a network of radio stations of Urban One (Radio One back then) that owned WTPS.

“It absolutely happened — 100 percent,” he told Fox News, noting that he had to put in a lot of effort to convince Eggelletion not to quit over Reid’s conduct.

The threat came following a “dispute” over a news item that Reid opposed covering — despite Eggelletion being the show’s lead host.

“There was a dispute over it and I told her, ‘Go ahead and call the manager’,” Eggelletion said he told Reid, after she refused to cover the story suggested by him.

To which she allegedly replied, “If you ever speak to me like that again I’m coming over there and it’s gonna be me and you.”

“Y’all want me to be his friend. I don’t want to be his mother———g friend.”

— Joy Reid’s alleged remark to the general manager.

The incident prompted an intervention from the higher-ups at the radio station, who issued a stern warning to Reid to change her behavior or be fired.

“I talked to the general manager and I told him this has to be dealt with in a very firm manner because it was inappropriate and it just can’t be tolerated,” Michaels recalled. He claimed that within the local radio station, there was an attempt to mediate the issue and Reid was supported by some of her colleagues.

‘Miss Charlie’ slur

Both Reid and MSNBC have been in damage-control mode since the controversy over her divisive past blog posts began to emerge, with both sending out some mixed messages.

In December, after the first batch of blog posts was revealed on social media, Reid apologized to the LGBTQ community for “tone-deaf and dumb” comments about then-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, whom she had called “Miss Charlie” on her blog.

Remember when Joy Reid claimed she was victim of hackers?Video
In April, following the publication of another series of controversial writings, Reid went on to deflect — saying she didn’t recognize herself in the posts and suggested some mysterious hackers implanted the comments to her now-defunct blog in an effort to discredit her.

“I genuinely believe I did not write those hateful things because they are completely alien to me. But I can definitely understand based on things I have tweeted and have written in the past why some people don’t believe me,” she said during the opening segment of “AM Joy” in April.

And then last week, Reid and MSNBC said Reid has evolved on many issues and was “a better person today than [she] was over a decade ago.”

MSNBC BREAKS SILENCE ON STAR JOY REID’S ‘HATEFUL’ BLOG POSTS: ‘SHE HAS GROWN AND EVOLVED’

But Eggelletion and Michaels aren’t entirely convinced, though they gave Reid the benefit of the doubt that she may have changed her ways.

“I do believe she’s not telling the truth about who that person [who wrote the blog posts] was. Maybe she has changed, but back then, that was one evil woman,” Eggelletion said.

“She said she doesn’t know who that person is – I find it very hard to believe. Very hard to believe based on my experience with her. Based on her attitudes towards me to this day. I never ever did anything at all to disrespect her, hurt her, I’ve never written or gone public in the last ten years with anything negative about her,” he added.

“I never ever did anything at all to disrespect her, hurt her, I’ve never written or gone public in the last ten years with anything negative about her.”

— Andre Eggelletion

The former lead host recalled one example in which Reid’s opinion on the radio show echoed her writings. “She did call Charlie Crist ‘Miss Charlie’ on the air,” he said.

Michaels, meanwhile, said Reid “referred to her blog from time to time” during the radio show. “Her demeanor inside the radio station complemented what was on the blog. Mean-spirited, very edgy, negative personality in her writing,” he said.
