MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday during the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump that it was tough to watch the “takeover of the United States by a base mentality of greed and corruption.” Reid said, “The promise of the incoming administration is to wipe away the civic memory of Washington, to get rid of and to fire all of the people who normally transition as civil servants from one administration to the next. The promises on the table are 200 some odd executive actions, an attempt to get rid of birthright citizenship, an attempt to do mass deportation.”
