MSNBC's Joy Reid: Threatening To Jail Political Opponents Happens In The Congo, Not USA
RCP Video ^ | 10-9-2016 | Tim Hains

Posted on 10/10/2016 11:31:05 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

JOY REID, MSNBC: I don't want to be dramatic with it, but my father came to this country from the Democratic Republic of the Congo... We need to not speed past the point that an American candidate for president threatened to jail his political opponent. .....

(snip)

.... as of this summer, a political opponent of the current leader was put in jail on charges. This happens in Malaysia, this happens in Uganda, this does not happen in the United States of America.

Kinda like jailing Nakoula Basseley Nakoula for making a video that didn’t cause the Benghazi attack, but he was blamed anyway.

Jailing someone for being opposition is un-American. Just like not jailing someone because they are “above the law” is un-American. Jailing them for being a criminal, and treating everyone by the same laws is very American.

The left talked about jailing Bush and Cheney for waterboarding and war crimes.

Hillary Clinton should not be imprisoned because she dared to run for President against Donald Trump.

Hillary Clinton should be imprisoned because she violated the Espionage Act and the Federal Records act, and because she continues to run a racketeering-influenced corrupt organization, along with her family and her cronies, under the guise of a charitable foundation

Rule of law moron. Trump would have her prosecuted under the law. The following consequences would be based on the outcome of the trial.

The problem is .. Trump did not threaten to put her in jail. The LEFT is trying to make this a CRIME against Trump.

His comment was: “You’d be in jail” .. HE NEVER SAID HE WOULD PUT HER IN JAIL.

DO NOT ALLOW THE LEFT TO GET AWAY WITH THIS.

Dang morons. Anybody with a brain knows he didn’t say he was going to throw her in jail himself. He’s going to appoint people who will do the job that they’re supposed to do. If she really did nothing wrong then she has nothing to worry about.

She’s not being jailed because she’s a political opponent.

She’s being jailed for tax evasion, money laundering, bribery, conspiracy, racketeering, and making false unsworn statements to federal officers.

(of course, I know the pardons are already written for publication on January 20, 2017 at 11:59 am, so I also know she’s not being jailed at all).

Well gee, Joy. Obviously you think that everything that HIllary has done is okey-dokey regardless of those hurt or killed by her actions. That’s PappaDoc congo-think, honey. In America we throw those people in jail.

And jailing people who don’t want to bake a gay wedding cake happens in hell.

And in the USA, nowadays.

The degree of hubris from MSNBC's paid Clinton-Dem operatives is off the charts. Hitlery is on record as HATING half of all Trump supporters ("deplorable/Irredeemable").

What does Joy Reid (and other MCNBC/CNN/ABC/NBC/FNC talking-head operatives) think of a Presidential candidate (Hitlery) who admits she hates perhaps 40 million Americans?

In what nations(s) on this earth do "leaders" make such a declaration? YES -- IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WITH TIN-HORN DICTATORS LIKE THE CONGO! OR, in nations like Stalin's USSR or Hitler's Third Reich (and we know what their plans for those hated people are, don't we?)

Politicians went to jail is not a rare thing in the US. Denise Hastert went to jail, so did Jim Traficant. Nixon almost did for doing far less than Clinton or Obama. In fact, it would a good thing to throw politicians in jail like everybody else, for what they have done to this country

Hmmmm....so Politicians should be IMMUNE to prosecution when they break the law? THAT sounds more like a Banana Republic to me than Trump prosecuting Hillary for breaking the law.
