The Republican National Convention featured a number of influential black Americans, from NFL great Herschel Walker to civil rights figure Clarence Henderson to Kentucky’s first Attorney General Daniel Cameron. Despite their passionate and unifying speeches, Joy Reid of MSNBC feels they were invited to make white people “feel good about white nationalism.”
In a tweet on Thursday, Reid shared an article from Elie Mystal at the far-left publication The Nation, which argued that the black speakers were simply there to put white people at ease when supporting “a bigot.”
