Joy Reid Retweets Claim That Republicans Are More Aligned With Taliban Than With Democrats

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid compared the Taliban’s repressive takeover of women’s rights in Afghanistan to the religious right in America.

On Saturday, BBC News anchor and correspondent Yalda Hakim tweeted that women in Afghanistan were being turned away from school and work as the Taliban overtook much of the country. In particular, female students in Herat were being told not to enter university grounds.
