Joy Reid was caught swearing by a live mic during a segment about President Joe Biden.During Monday's edition of The ReidOut, the MSNBC host dropped the f-bomb, though it was unclear what she was referring to.The host introduced a discussion about the border crisis and then cut to a clip of the Democrat president's South Carolina speech on Saturday. He said: "If that bill were the law today, I'd shut down the border now and I'd fix it quickly... And Congress needs to get it done."Biden was referring to a bipartisan Senate border deal that would give him powers to...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder in an interview with MSNBC's Joy Reid warned that American democracy could end with Donald Trump being reelected to the presidency and that a second term would create a "weaponized Department of Justice." REID: And the thing is, I think what a lot of people, when we talk about the January 6 insurrection, which was an insurrection, part of it was a denial of the right to vote, right? HOLDER: Right. REID: It was essentially saying that, in the states where Donald Trump, the swing states where Donald Trump lost, those voters in predominantly black...

Cable news pundit Joy Reid claimed Donald Trump won the Iowa caucus because 'white Christians' believe he will 'return' the US to them. Reid called the Midwest state 'hyper evangelical' and therefore full of voters who support the former president in his campaign to regain the White House. Trump handily won the Iowa caucus on Tuesday night with 51 per cent of the vote in frigid conditions to kick off the primary season.

The doors had not yet closed at caucus locations across the state of Iowa, but MSNBC had already entered into the “maligning the voters” portion of the program. Joy Reid, the network’s flagship racebaiter, decided that this was a good opportunity to dump on white evangelicals voting for Donald Trump. Watch as Reid cites woke religion author Robert Jones (he/him), using his quote as the cudgel with which to bash Christians: JOY REID: But I feel like the important sort of data point, and you know, Steve talks about it a lot, he's gonna probably talk about it a little...

No evening of post-Claudine Gay resignation hot takery would be complete without MSNBC’s Joy Reid weighing in. And weigh in she did- by claiming, without evidence, that Gay was “taken out” in order to make room for the guys “who used to have” the presidencies of elite universities in the 50s. Watch as Reid concocts a theory behind Gay’s resignation that requires neither the words “antisemitism” nor “plagiarism”: JOY REID: I do just want to pivot to another thing. Because there's another thing happening, Jelani. There- there is this sort...

Are you a Christian? Are you pro-life? Do you have think books in school libraries should be age appropriate? If the answer is yes, MSNBC’s Joy Reid used her Tuesday show to compare you to slave traders. During a segment entitled “the origins of white supremacy,” Reid also gave a family history lesson, “Among those who did survive was my own maternal ancestor, a Fulani Muslim woman named Yhara Waboosia, later a converted Christian renamed Mitchie Johnson. She was born in 1800 in Ghana and as a six or seven-year-old was incarcerated in one of those slave castles in Ghana...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “ReidOut,” host Joy Reid reacted to an Israeli airstrike targeting what it says was a Hamas command center that caused damage to Saint Porphyrius Church by saying that even if “the church is hiding munitions, you’re bombing a church? And, at the end of the day, there is international law?” NBC News Correspondent Hala Gorani noted that “[T]he Israeli military has said that because Hamas hides among the civilian population, because they have networks and perhaps stockpiles of weapons that they will hide in schools, that they will target those stockpiles and those weapons wherever...

Pennsylvania U.S. Senator John Fetterman has recently been subjected to one of the dumbest right-wing conspiracy theories in recent memory. But it turns out he has the same sense of humor about it that he has regarding the uproar about his wardrobe, as seen on the latest episode of MSNBC’s “The Reid Out.” Fetterman has of course overcome a lot over the last year. First he suffered a stroke during his 2022 senate campaign, from which he’s made almost a full recovery. Then after taking office he briefly checked himself into a hospital to treat his clinical depression. Since then,...

Former Clinton administration Labor Secretary Robert Reich said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the United States was in a Goldilocks economy, meaning it is not expanding or contracting by too much. Host Joy Reid said, “It seems to me that the more Republicans scream about drag queens and putting PragerU videos instead of real history in schools, it’s an indication to me they want to avoid talking about Bidenomics because Bidenomics is actually working. Is that how you read it?” Reich said, “I think that is exactly right Joy. They are trying to deflect attention from the fact that...

Robert Reich joined the Aug. 16 edition of MSNBC’s The ReidOut to throw rainbow sprinkles on top of the policy monstrosity known as “Bidenomics.” Insufferable MSNBC host Joy Reid attempted to browbeat Republicans for focusing on “manufactured crises” such as critical race theory as some sordid scheme to ignore the illusory economic genius of “Bidenomics.” She then tee’d up Reich to go on a ridiculous rant about an economy that has seen prices skyrocket upward 16.6 percent since Biden took office: “[T]he economy is great. It’s a Goldilocks economy. I’ll tell you, I’ve been watching or participating in economic policy...

MSNBC host Joy Reid garnered backlash after she claimed that members of the Republican Party are no longer allowed to say that slavery was terrible. On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis swiped at Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., continuing to defend the state's new school history curriculum. DeSantis' comments came after Donalds took issue with one of the lines from the new state standards, arguing "the attempt to feature the personal benefits of slavery is wrong & needs to be adjusted." He called the rest of the standards "good, robust and accurate."

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on “All In” that Republicans were attempting to turn women into “womb slaves of any red state.” Reid said, “This is the proof of why the bubble is dangerous. Republicans all listen to Fox News, and they read the Daily Caller or whatever. They come to believe that the vast majority of Americans want to ban abortion, want to ban drag shows, one to ban trans kids. They cooked themselves into a pot of a can’t climb out of now. On abortion, it should’ve been perfectly obvious to them. All the polling has been...

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said Friday on her show “The ReidOut” that she “can’t imagine anything closer to slavery” while reacting to serval laws restricting abortion and a federal judge’s ruling to suspend FDA approval of the abortion pill mifepristone. Reid said, “We have already seen in the state of Idaho a bill to make it illegal to travel, so they’re already starting to lock women in and say, you can’t move, you can’t travel. And in this case, they’re talking about anyone under 18, but that means an aunt, an older sister, a doctor, they’re trying to frighten people...

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The Reid Out ” that black voters felt disrespected by Republicans choosing Georgia Republican Senate nominee Herschel Walker. Panelist and activist LaTosha Brown said, “Black people are upset. They feel insulted. They feel insulated that the Republicans would pick a candidate and because he was a ballplayer, that in some way, and if they planted this narrative that black men were not going to vote and are upset with the Democratic Party, those two things were enough to fool us. We’re far more sophisticated. There’s a certain level of feeling insulted,...

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...

MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke with commentator Dean Obeidallah about Biden turning up the heat in his rhetoric about MAGA Republicans in an early September broadcast. Liberal MSNBC hosts and pundits worried about potential Democratic losses in the upcoming midterm elections, took to Twitter this week to stoke fears of "fascism" if voters supported Republican Party candidates. The liberal anchors were largely reacting to a New York Times poll that found independent voters were turning to the GOP over concerns about the economy. In a melodramatic tweet, MSNBC's Joy Reid bashed anyone who voted Republican as choosing "literal fascism." "It's...

Gov. Ron Desantis (R-Fla.), a bonafide star in the Republican party, didn’t hold back in a Friday press conference when talking about what may happen to looters who try to take advantage of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian. “Don’t even think about looting. Don’t even think about taking advantage of people in this vulnerable situation. And so local law enforcement is involved in monitoring that,” Desantis defiantly warned. “You can have people, you know, bringing boats into some of these islands and trying to ransack people’s homes,” he continued. “I can tell you, in the state of Florida, you...

Jackson's water crisis is latest in history o Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced a large grant that'll be used to dismantle a highway built to destroy a Black community. And there's more. The Biden administration is capping off the president’s recent trip to Michigan, focused largely on worker rights and transportation innovation, by handing out its first federal grant to dismantle a highway built to perpetuate racial discrimination. The move is part of the Biden administration’s broader effort to remake America’s infrastructure to be more equitable, including addressing racist roads that were designed to facilitate white flight and deprive Black...

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday on her show “The ReidOut” that Republicans are upset because President Joe Biden “named” their fascism. Reid said, “The former president was also in the Keystone state this holiday weekend, speaking at a rally for Pennsylvania’s MAGA Republican candidate for governor, Doug Mastriano, and Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz. Trump basically went full fascist, denouncing the FBI as vicious monsters despite recent actual attempts by his fans to attack federal law enforcement and calling President Biden an enemy of the state. In his Philadelphia speech, the most divisive speech ever delivered by an American...

Robert Reich, who served as Secretary of Labor during the Clinton administration and is currently a Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkley, expressed interest on Tuesday in making the last name of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis an official synonym for "fascist." Reich is not the first left-wing person to dub the governor a fascist. It has become a more common occurrence as DeSantis has increased his national profile, some think with an eye toward running for the presidency in 2024. "The View's" Sunny Hostin previously called DeSantis a "fascist and a bigot," MSNBC host Joy Reid call...
