MSNBC host Joy Reid is the only minority host on her network from noon to midnight, so it's only natural she would be most expected to lecture on the evils of whiteness, especially white maleness. It can even happen on her social media accounts.
On Nov. 16, Reid took to TikTok to compare the Kyle Rittenhouse trial to the confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh three years ago.
"This Kyle Rittenhouse trial. It reminded a lot of people of something -- something, can't remember what it was," she said. "Oh. The Brett Kavanaugh hearings, in which Brett Kavanaugh, who had been accused by a high school friend of committing sexual abuse of her, cried his way through the hearings" to make the Supreme Court.
No "independent" fact-checker will object, but Kavanaugh didn't "cry his way through" confirmation hearings. In fact, Kavanaugh teared up during his opening statement as he described his 10-year-old daughter Liza's reaction to Christine Blasey Ford's allegations. "We should pray for the woman," Kavanaugh says his daughter responded. "That's a lot of wisdom from a 10-year-old." He also choked up when describing the impact of the charges on his family.
But who needs context when you're "owning" the white male conservatives?
Reid continued: "And his tears turned out to be more powerful than the tears of Christine Blasey Ford, which were the tears of an alleged victim." Strongly underline "alleged." Ford could never locate a time and place where she and Kavanaugh had ever met as teenagers.
This is where this attempted connection to Rittenhouse collapses. Kavanaugh hadn't shot anyone during a riot. They couldn't prove that he had done anything like raping girls as a teenage boy, despite multiple accusers with exotic stories.
Rittenhouse scrunched up his face and lost his composure when describing how he shot and killed two men. And if he hadn't cried? Then he'd be trashed by Reid as a sociopath.
Reid's rant continued: "But in America, there's a thing about both white vigilantism and white tears, particularly male white tears. Really, white tears in general because that's what Karens are, right? They Karen-out, and as soon as they get caught, they bring waterworks. White men can get away with that, too, and it has the same effect."
No one's going to find Joy Reid mocking a "Karen-out" when Hillary Clinton teared up on the campaign trail in 2008, or when she teared up in a Benghazi hearing in 2013. The networks touted that as a masterful performance.
"The indignation. And then, the tears in her eyes," ABC anchor Diane Sawyer announced before trumpeting: "It was a valedictory that showed her indignation and emotion as she ends this tenure on the public stage." It was a "riveting encounter."
For her part, Reid is best remembered for exclaiming how Clinton was just about the most qualified contender ever in 2016: "My God, since the Founding Fathers, has anyone tried to run for president with more on their resume?"
This is how Reid concluded on the white male tears: "Even as the right tries to politicize the idea that masculinity is being robbed from American men by multiculturalism and wokeism, they still want to be able to have their tears."
The common thread is the left's cynical accusation that these incidents of white male crying or choking up on television were insincerely staged for personal gain or political effect. What Reid was cynically offering was an early basket of sour grapes that the left failed to destroy either Kavanaugh or Rittenhouse.
Joy Reid should be asked, DAILY, why her news organization attempted to dox the jurors of the Rittenhouse jury and obstruct justice.
Unless MSNBC AND NBC answers these questions their channels should be banned from cable.
Tired of it..rising up against a dead burning world with no clue..

Our society has allowed compensatory black racism for past wrongs and this women is one of the leading proponents. Truly racism is not better when blacks do it.
I guess the oppression from YT is why Joy Reid lives in an all black area. I assume she does. There’s literally nothing keeping her from moving to a place where there are no white people. Many such places exist.
F’ng twat!
I hope a black, Hispanic, homosexual, democratic, climate
activist, antifa member assaults her in broad daylight and no white male interfere.
Whatever they’re paying her can’t possibly overcome what it’s like to live with that much hatred in her heart.
F that B B!
Absolutely, and do it stat.
Joy Reid works to make racism seem like a good idea.
White this and white that... Pretty soon it adds up to one word: racism.
Joy Reid is a racist. MSNBC needs to answer why they support a racist and racism.
What a terrible spokesperson for the black community, bar none!
Unfortunately, the mob may get their way in Kenosha. What punishment is suitable for someone foolish enough to be both white and standing up to Antifa?
Perhaps the French have an answer.
Joy Reid was so much funnier when she was slamming sodomites...
“Reid posts made derogatory remarks about gay people, claiming that “most straight people cringe at the sight of two men kissing” and that “adult gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types.” One post acknowledged, “Does that make me homophobic? Probably.”
“Race Lady” to “Racist Lady”, bet she wears that moniker proudly.
The left are racists - Joy Reid is a racist. Her prejudicial comments can be fully understood only when understanding she is self-righteously racist. All racists think they’ve got the racial insight on why and how race makes others evil. Dismiss this racist tv personality.
What a Bumb Ditch.
Is there a mister Joy Reid out there? I would not admit to being married to the bitch either. But.....
The Moral and correct answer would be if it was wrong for the KKK and White Supremacists, it should be equally wrong for Joy Reid or any other blacks who spew hate and rhetoric against an entire race.
Don’t they realize (of course not) white this and white that is actually the same as black this and black that? I mean from a categorization basis or to make a point of (so-called) logic or an appeal. That you really cannot say any group is categorically the same because it simply isn’t true. Don’t they realize this puts them in the same place as those they repudiate for their rhetoric?
Are they opposed to racism or just white people being over black people?
