Joy Reid: "For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad. And a black woman is doing the same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million dollar fine. Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home."

Donald Trump’s supporters are parroting his persecution complex, leading experts to warn of the dangerous cult of MAGA.

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday on her show “The ReidOut” that Republicans are against Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs because they “can’t stand black people.” Discussing the Baltimore bridge collapse, Reid said, “The most idiotic and racist theories had to do with their newest bogeyman, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion DEI. A Republican congressional candidate in Florida tweeted that, ‘DEI did this.’ And a right wing blue check account that’s been boosted by Elon Musk in the past just blew straight past the dog whistling tweeting to its 267,000 followers, ‘Baltimore’s DEI mayor commenting on the collapsed Francis Scott Key...

MSNBC host Joy Reid attacked Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama on social media Monday after the former Auburn coach defended a ruling on in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Tuberville praised the Alabama Supreme Court’s Feb. 16 ruling while attending the Conservative Political Action Conference(CPAC) last week, saying “we need to have more kids,” according to USA Today. “The United States has a population of north of 327 million people,” Reid said in a video posted on the Chinese-owned social media app TikTok. “Why do we need more kids?” The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos resulting from successful IVF procedures...

I have written about the disastrous policies of Mayor Brandon Johnson for Chicago. As a native son, it is hard to watch this wonderful city undermined by Johnson and radical allies in the city council. Some initiatives like reparations and state-funded grocery stores will cost money but will not impose nearly the costs of Johnson’s dismal record on crime and taxes. However, this week saw a particularly confusing moment when, after calling the anti-crime program ShotSpotter “racist,” Johnson asked the company to extend its contract beyond the upcoming Democratic National Convention. So Johnson will put an end to this supposedly...

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton defended staying in the Democratic nominating contest on Friday by pointing out that her husband had not wrapped up the nomination until June 1992, adding, “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.” Her remarks were met with quick criticism from the campaign of Senator Barack Obama the comments touched on one of the most sensitive aspects of the current presidential campaign — concern for Mr. Obama’s safety.

MSNBC host Joy Reid lamented that black Americans have not received sufficient reparations for “literally, physically” building this country, believing that former President Barack Obama’s eight-year tenure is the best they will get. Reid issued her comments during an interview on Salon Talks with writer Dean Obeidallah wherein she said that black people “literally, physically, built this country” and therefore deserve much more than a two-term black president.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid was caught on a hot mic dropping the F-bomb, seemingly against President Joe Biden live on air Monday. The left-leaning host of “The ReidOut” made the gaffe when she was heard saying: “Starting another f—king war,” over footage of President Biden giving a speech about the border crisis. Her remark was presumably about the fallout from a drone strike by Iran-backed militants on a US base in Jordan that killed three American soldiers and resulted in at least 34 other injuries, insiders said. The president has not yet launched any retaliatory strikes but his administration is in...

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...
