Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-fetterman-calls-on-bob-menendez-to-resign-from-u-s-senate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Fetterman</a> (D-PA) weighed in on the growing calls for Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) to resign in the wake of federal indictments for bribery, claiming that fictional mobster Tony Soprano was the last man to stash that much cash in New Jersey.
<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fetterman-compares-menendez-to-tony-soprano-its-not-a-close-call-he-needs-to-go/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fetterman</a>, who was the first of a number of Democrats to call for Menendez to step down, joined MSNBC host Joy Reid on &#8220;The ReidOut&#8221; to discuss the situation on Tuesday evening.
Reid posed the question to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/john-fetterman-delivers-nasty-insult-to-gop-leaves-msnbc-host-stammering" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fetterman</a>, asking how he felt about being the first to call for a member of his own party to resign — and the Pennsylvania senator said that given the charges against Menendez, he was surprised no one else had beaten him to it.
&#8220;Honestly, I was actually surprised that I was the first one. I mean, it’s so black and white. I mean, it’s so clear,&#8221; Fetterman told Reid. &#8220;The last time there’s ever been a man with so much cash in their home in New Jersey was Tony Soprano. You know?&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, it’s not a — it’s not a — it’s not a close call, and if you were looking for the most incriminating kinds of evidence, nobody could even come up with gold bars in a mattress,&#8221; Fetterman continued. &#8220;So, and again, he’s entitled to have his day in court, but he is not entitled to remain in the Senate and he needs to go.&#8221;
Reid continued to press, asking whether Fetterman had spoken to any of his colleagues about what they might have to say on the subject — and he argued that while he couldn&#8217;t speak for any of them, he was not going to budge in his assessment.
&#8220;New Jersey is a safe, blue seat, and they have a governor ready to appoint somebody that’s ready to step in and make the kind of votes that he needs to do. And again, it’s never been about him. It’s about the Senate and the integrity, and he needs to go,&#8221; he said.
Reid also asked Fetterman about the recently-relaxed Senate dress code — which most have attributed to his steadfast refusal to wear anything dressier than a hoodie and gym shorts — and he argued that it was less important than other issues the Senate was facing.

U.S.

In the light of recent Supreme Court decisions upholding the Constitution, Democrats are seeking ways to get the Court to stop doing that.
The controversy began after the court issued rulings forbidding racism in college admissions, allowing people to express opinions of which the state disapproves, and denying Joe Biden the right to steal our money to pay for college loans we didn’t take out. The Democrat party feels these decisions are unfair because without racism, censorship, and stealing people’s money, there would be no Democrat party. Then Democrats would no longer be able to help people and would lose their jobs and be forced to live on the streets with all the people they&#8217;ve helped.
Young people especially are pressuring the Biden administration to take measures to stop the court from enforcing the Constitution. The young people argue that some stupid 18th century document written on weird crinkly brown paper in a font that isn’t even on their cell phones should not outweigh the uninformed opinions of a bunch of self-certain cretins who have enough time on their hands to create elaborately produced TikTok videos about purple Grimace milkshakes and then wonder why they can’t pay back their student loans.
One Democrat suggestion on how to fix the court’s upholding-the-Constitution problem involves expanding the court from nine justices to nine justices, three Barack Obama bobble-head dolls, and one Bose Soundlink playing &#8216;Don’t Feel Right&#8217; at full volume to distract from Democrat&#8217;s racism, censorship, and stealing your money.
Another suggestion is that Congress should pass a new code of ethics for the court, so they can impeach any justices who have ethics.
Still yet another idea came from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who delivered an impassioned speech in Congress while the men in the chamber attempted to click on her, hoping to see more pictures of women with large breasts, only to be disappointed by some boring slideshow of black-and-white photographs of turn of the century New York. Miss Ocasio-Cortez said, “I have some very serious thoughts about how to curtail the power of the court and I believe…” But then everyone stopped listening to her because, really, who cares about turn-of-the-century New York?
Another suggestion came from Rhode Island Senator and thuggish lowlife Sheldon Whitehouse who wrote a letter to Chief Justice John Roberts saying, “As the Supreme Court is an essential part of our democracy, it would be a shame if it was sprayed with machine gun bullets tomorrow unless the court delivers the correct decisions to my office before noon in an unmarked brown paper bag.” In a statement released to the press, Senator Ted Cruz criticized Whitehouse, saying his letter constituted a subtle threat against the court. Senator Whitehouse responded to the statement by sending the press a pair of Cruz’s pants wrapped around a dead fish.
Amazingly, the news media has reiterated the Democrat party&#8217;s ideas without the Democrats moving their lips even once. In fact, NPR smeared Clarence Thomas for fake ethics violations even while Nancy Pelosi was drinking a glass of water. MSNBC Host Joy Reid protested the Supreme Court’s anti-racism decision by saying she could never have gotten into Harvard if it weren’t for affirmative action, as if anyone had ever thought for even a moment that Joy Reid could have gotten into Harvard without affirmative action. The Washington Post, where &#8216;Democracy dies in Darkness&#8217; after the Washington Post pushes it down a flight of stairs into darkness, has repeatedly tried to sell the narrative that Joe Biden will lose the votes of young people if he doesn’t destroy the freedom of the court, although it might also help if Biden stopped firing buckshot at young people and screaming “Get off my lawn.”
Meanwhile, the court is facing another session of important cases that will decide, for instance, whether states can require you to show proof of age before pretending to listen to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whether the second amendment guarantees the right of Supreme Court justices to bear arms while exchanging gunfire with Sheldon Whitehouse, and whether the first amendment protects the right of the Washington Post to say ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ or if, coming from the Washington Post, that’s actually kind of a threat.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/transgender" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Transgender</a> activist Charlotte Clymer asserted that conservatives such as Daily Wire host <a href="http://dailywire.com/topic/michael-knowles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Knowles</a> contradict the teachings of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jesus-christ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jesus</a> by speaking against radical gender ideology.
Clymer, a man who claims to be a woman, remarked in an <a href="https://twitter.com/MSNBC/status/1641304330031583233" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with MSNBC host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-reid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a> that conservatives are seeking to “weaponize” the recent murder of three children and three staff members by a transgender shooter at a Christian elementary school in Nashville, Tennessee, to advance policies against the sexualization of children.
“I think children are only unsafe at drag shows when a shooter shows up to kill them. That’s where the threat is,” Clymer said. “I would challenge anyone just to get to know trans people. We are a vibrant, diverse community, diverse as anyone else. I’m from the great state of Texas. I served in the military, I go to church every Sunday, and my faith is very important to me.”
“But God made me in her image. God made me transgender,” the activist added. “To see these people so cynically weaponize this and exploit these children’s deaths and their teachers’ deaths, it breaks my heart. I wonder what those families are thinking right now.”
Reid asked Clymer about Knowles advocating for a “complete eradication of transgenderism from public life,” which multiple leftist media outlets falsely <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/im-just-not-really-a-genocide-kind-of-guy-michael-knowles-addresses-libel-at-buffalo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">construed</a> to mean a “genocide” of people identifying as transgender rather than opposition to the ideology. Reid also noted comments from Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who recently <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6321590129112" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contended</a> that proponents of radical gender ideology are “at war” with Christians.
“I can’t see Christ in their words. That’s for damn sure,” Clymer responded, adding that he could not determine “where the biblical principles of loving your neighbor and walking the walk with Christ” factored into the affirmation of historic Christian doctrine regarding human sexuality.
Nashville police officers have confirmed that a 28-year-old woman who identified as a man killed three 9-year-old children and three adults on Monday at The Covenant School, which is associated with the conservative evangelical Covenant Presbyterian Church. Authorities <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nashville-christian-school-shooter-identified-as-transgender-authorities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> that the shooter, who will not be named in accordance with Daily Wire policy, executed a “targeted attack” and left behind a “manifesto.”
Clymer, who formerly worked as press secretary of the Human Rights Campaign and communications director of Catholics for Choice, has previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lgbtq-advocate-champions-censoring-opponents-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for “directly harmful” beliefs to be removed from the public square. Knowles was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-suspended-from-twitter-after-posting-bible-verse-in-response-to-nashville-school-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> from Twitter this week amid what appears to be a crackdown against conservative accounts criticizing or simply alluding to the Trans Radical Activist Network’s recent call for a “Day of Vengeance” on Saturday, April 1, mere days after the attack in Nashville.
Knowles linked on the platform to a Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trans-activists-called-for-day-of-vengeance-before-nashville-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">article</a> about the “Day of Vengeance” and included a reference to Romans 12:19, in which the apostle Paul exhorts Christians to refrain from seeking personal retribution: “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.’”
Twitter’s rebuke of the post, a screenshot of which was <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwalshblog/status/1640903825128058881?s=46" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared</a> on the platform by fellow Daily Wire host Matt Walsh, told Knowles to delete the post and said that the social media company does not permit users to “share abusive content, harass someone, or encourage other people to do so.” Knowles was provided with a button through which he could delete the post.
Twitter accounts belonging to Daily Wire News and Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak were also suspended this week for posting about the “Day of Vengeance.” Trans Radical Activist Network meanwhile <a href="https://twitter.com/ResistanceTrans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">retains</a> access to its account on the platform.

MSNBC host <a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/joy-reid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Reid</a> delivered a monologue on Wednesday claiming that Republicans are so afraid of progress that they actually hate the 20th century and everything it stood for.
Arguing that Republicans were desperate to plot a course &#8220;setting back the clock&#8221; on things like abortion and keeping pornographic materials out of the hands of elementary-school-aged children, Reid said that the obvious conclusion was that Republicans simply hated the 20th century.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
JOY REID: &quot;Republicans really hate the 20th Century. From setting back the clock on women&#39;s reproductive rights, to&#8230;their zeal for banning books.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/MsoquX1ByT">pic.twitter.com/MsoquX1ByT</a>
&mdash; Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) <a href="https://twitter.com/DailyCaller/status/1628559062227877889?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 23, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;Republicans really hate the 20th century,&#8221; Reid announced, throwing up her hands for emphasis.
&#8220;From setting back the clock on women&#8217;s reproductive rights, to trying to ban the mere act of learning about black history and the Civil Rights movement, to their zeal for banning books about anything related to the advancements of the last century,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Books by black authors, and gay authors, and any book questioning their rose-colored view of America&#8217;s distant past.&#8221;
&#8220;In fact, it is quite clear why they don&#8217;t want you to read a book,&#8221; Reid declared. &#8220;Because if you did, you&#8217;d know how the future they want is a return to the frequently very unpleasant history that they don&#8217;t want you to learn.&#8221;
What Reid did not mention was that Republicans had not made efforts to ban certain books outright — but rather, had objected to <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/oklahoma-lawmaker-proposes-bill-that-would-let-parents-ban-sexually-explicit-books-from-public-schools/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">certain volumes</a> being placed in libraries at schools where young children might have access to them before they reached an appropriate age. There also has been no broad movement in Republican circles to ban broad swaths of books by black or gay authors, despite Reid&#8217;s claim to the contrary.

She also claimed that Republicans objected to schools <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/black-florida-democrat-sides-with-ron-desantis-on-ap-african-american-history-course-i-think-its-trash/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">teaching black history</a> and the history of the Civil Rights movement — when the opposition from the Republican Party and from parents across the country has primarily been to lesson plans that adopt the tenets of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/debunking-critical-race-theory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory</a> and promote teaching through an ideological lens rather than an objective one.

MSNBC host Joy Reid responded to President Joe Biden&#8217;s second State of the Union address — which, according to a number of people watching, was <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nonsensical-and-random-yelling-biden-criticized-for-fumbles-repeated-lies-in-sotu-speech/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">riddled with slurred words</a> and fumbles — by claiming it was proof positive that age was not a limiting factor for him. Fox News political analyst Brit Hume said the opposite.
Reid offered her take after the speech wrapped, saying, &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of anxiety in the Democratic political world about Biden’s age. He shattered that tonight. He&#8217;s obviously &#8230; it&#8217;s similar to what Nancy Pelosi is able to do. There&#8217;s certain things that an experienced politician can do &#8230; that an inexperienced politician, even a Kevin McCarthy, who’s been around a long time, but is obviously not as ready for primetime as Joe Biden.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Reid then suggested that Biden had drawn from his experience negotiating as a U.S. Senator, adding that he had negotiated personally with a lot of the people in the room and had drawn from that as president.
As Fox News&#8217; senior political analyst, Hume argued that Biden&#8217;s speech had not been reassuring at all for those who might be concerned that age was getting the best of him.

Noting that he had seen a number of State of the Union speeches, Hume continued, &#8220;And looking at this one and this man giving it, I think that there are two ways to look at this speech.&#8221;
He went on to say that people could look at the content of the speech and whether or not it was based in fact and made an impact simply based on what was being said, or they could look at Biden and how he looked and sounded while delivering the speech.
&#8220;The other way is looking at this man, this 80-year-old man, the oldest president I guess ever, and whether he got through the speech well,&#8221; Hume continued. &#8220;It seemed to me there was an awful lot of stumbling and slurring and words left out and so on. So the question becomes this: does someone sitting at home worried about the future of our country — perhaps suffering from inflation and the other maladies, worried about crime, worried about the border — look at this man delivering this speech tonight and say, &#8216;I have confidence to give him four more years. He&#8217;s the man who&#8217;s led our nation so well, he&#8217;s fully in command’?”
&#8220;Or do they have doubts?&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;Doubts that they may already harbor based on Afghanistan and certain other things. I have considerable doubt as to whether this was a confidence-inspiring speech tonight.&#8221;

On the eve of Thanksgiving, MSNBC’s Joy Reid <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZH2_9F1NiuE&amp;t=72s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on a tirade</a> against the cherished holiday in which she called it a holiday that erases the “genocide” committed by white Americans.
The comments came in a segment of Reid’s show “The Reidout” that focused in on two recent mass shootings. One of the shootings involved a self-described “non-binary” individual who allegedly attacked a gay nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/colorado-springs-suspect-identifies-nonbinary-uses-pronounces-defense-rcna58499" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaving</a> five people dead. In the other, a black man allegedly <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/us/chesapeake-virginia-walmart-shooting/index.html">murdered</a> six co-workers, including a 16-year-old boy, at a Walmart in Chesapeake, Virginia.
“For millions of Americans it’s a cherished tradition. And as Americans we certainly value those traditions,” Reid said of Thanksgiving.
&#8220;But it’s also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with inaccuracies, built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn; a simplistic fairytale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed,&#8221; she added.
Reid then accused Republicans of conspiratorially erasing American violence.
“It&#8217;s the truth that Republicans want banned from our textbooks, because here’s the secret they want so desperately to keep: We are a country founded on violence,&#8221; she said.
The she claimed that “we are a country that still chooses violence.&#8221;
&#8220;Our birth was violent. In 1619, a ship with more than 20 enslaved Africans landed in Virginia ushering in two centuries of American slavery that left millions in chains or dead. And when those humans in bondage were finally free, a terrorist organization that was a card-carrying member of polite society — the Ku Klux Klan —picked up where the Civil War ended using violence to maintain white supremacy,&#8221; she claimed.
Conservatives took Reid to task:

Reid has long expressed her dislike for Republicans on her MSNBC show and on Twitter. In April 2022, she went on a Twitter tirade in which she again targeted Republicans, writing, “I genuinely fear that before long, America will look a lot more like Russia or Hungary or even Afghanistan than any one of y&#8217;all can imagine. Because Republicans are aggressive in their pursuit of social and political control, while just about everyone else is pretty disengaged.”

‘Screwed Up Head Case’: Joy Reid Attacks Thanksgiving, Gets Slammed

Joy Reid Attacks Thanksgiving, Gets Slammed

Mainstream Media

Thanksgiving

It should have been obvious that there was no limit to what sort of nonsense <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/majority-of-americans-think-crime-is-up-msnbc-says-theyre-just-manipulated-by-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSNBC&#8217;s</a> Joy Reid could spout after she was able to keep her job while claiming that unknown <a href="https://theintercept.com/2018/04/24/msnbcs-joy-reid-claims-her-website-was-hacked-and-bigoted-anti-lgbt-content-added-a-bizarre-story-liberal-outlets-ignore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hackers</a> posted homophobic slurs on an old blog post of hers, but every so often, it&#8217;s worth reviewing what she&#8217;s telling her audience.
Thursday evening, Reid claimed that the GOP taught the United States what the word &#8220;inflation&#8221; means, implying that the only reason Americans are concerned with the rising cost of goods is due to conservative propaganda.
&#8220;The only people I ever heard use the word inflation are journalists and economists,&#8221; she said with a chuckle. &#8220;So, that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. So, it&#8217;s interesting that Republicans are doing something they don&#8217;t normally do — which is not use the common tongue, not use common English &#8230;&#8221;
Under President Joe Biden, America has experienced the worst inflation in decades. Basically, everything is expensive and it&#8217;s a big reason why Democrats are heading for a shellacking on Tuesday.
For some reason, Reid thinks the country wouldn&#8217;t know how to describe this economic misery if not for anti-Democrat efforts.
&#8220;What they&#8217;ve done is taught people the word inflation, right?&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Most people who would have never used that word in their lives are now using it now because they&#8217;ve been taught it. Including on TV, including in newspapers — they&#8217;ve been taught this word.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
There are a couple of explanations for Reid&#8217;s bizarre claim.
The first is that Reid has been surrounded by dopes her entire life. It is unclear what sort of people Reid pals around with, but suffice it to say, they are really dumb people if they have never used the term &#8220;inflation&#8221; in casual conversation. Anybody with half of a brain knows what it is, even if they have never experienced disastrous price hikes like we are now.
The second option is that Reid, a <a href="https://ash.harvard.edu/event/speaker-series-joy-ann-reid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harvard</a> graduate, is isolated from the common American and assumes we are all a bunch of morons. In her leftist bubble, perhaps Reid has conjured up a caricature that anybody who doesn&#8217;t have a subscription to The New Yorker, or whatever, is just a dumbo.
Neither option is mutually exclusive.
Of course, the 53-year-old has often exposed herself as ignorant beyond her years.
For example, in 2017, she claimed, “‘Classical liberal&#8217; is an accurate term for a person who supports New Deal economics and social modernity, but does not identify as socialist.&#8221;
The definition of &#8220;classical liberal&#8221; is practically the opposite of that and refers to one who <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supports</a> free market economics with an emphasis on laissez-faire economics, alongside individual responsibility and adherence to rule of law guided by liberty and freedom. Even Wikipedia <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">still uses that definition</a>.
A reader might be wondering why any of this matters. Well, Reid — believe it or not — <a href="https://ustvdb.com/networks/msnbc/shows/reidout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">speaks</a> to at least one million per night.
If you&#8217;ve been wondering how so many people can be so misinformed, she partly explains why.

Often Wrong, Never In Doubt: Joy Reid Claims Americans Didn’t Know The Word ‘Inflation’ Until Republicans Taught It To Them

Often Wrong, Never In Doubt: Joy Reid Claims Americans Didn't Know The Word 'Inflation' Until Republicans Taught It To Them

2022 Midterms

Economy

Fox News host Greg Gutfeld said Wednesday that MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid had the network too &#8220;terrified&#8221; to ever fire her.
Gutfeld told his co-hosts on popular panel show &#8220;The Five&#8221; that Reid&#8217;s &#8220;scam&#8221; was to call everyone around her &#8220;racist&#8221; — and that she had <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/gutfeld-says-msnbc-is-so-terrified-to-fire-joy-reid-because-shes-just-gonna-call-them-racist-calls-it-her-scam/">executed her plan</a> so well that MSNBC was probably too scared to let her go because she would call them racists, too.
The conversation began with Reid&#8217;s comments about billionaire Elon Musk and his recent move to acquire Twitter — and her suggestion that the entrepreneur wanted to wield apartheid-like power over the platform because he &#8220;misses the old South Africa in the 80s.&#8221;
&#8220;Twitter is not the government; Twitter is a private company that can say, no, you’re not allowed to be a Nazi on Twitter,&#8221; Reid said, later adding, &#8220;Elon Musk, I guess he misses the old South Africa in the 80s. He wants that back.&#8221;
&#8220;They want to come in and be able to punch people in the face and walk around and laugh about it and then not have anyone be able to stop them,&#8221; she continued, noting that a number of <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/absolutely-monstrous-win-for-free-speech-conservatives-cheer-musk-buying-twitter/">conservatives were in favor</a> of Musk buying Twitter. &#8220;The enjoyment they get out of being in this ‘town square’ is being able to harass people, being able to attack people.&#8221;
Gutfeld responded on Twitter, saying, &#8220;the ghouls saying Musk is pro-hate speech, always fling the hate first. lesson: they can call you an evil racist; but fight back? thats labeled hate speech. How joy reid remains employed is a tribute to her boss&#8217;s cowardice.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
He responded to the story again on &#8220;The Five,&#8221; saying, &#8220;I can’t love a story more than this story. It’s like we got a free election result, in which we won and we get to see all the people who dislike us … break down in public. It really is like 2016, except instead of Trump winning, the First Amendment won.&#8221;
Gutfeld went on to say that in Reid&#8217;s particular case, she had built-in protection for herself to continue to say whatever she wanted.
&#8220;Joy Reid has built a foolproof career insurance plan. She has MSNBC so terrified that they can’t fire her because she’s just gonna call them racist, too. She calls everybody racist, and that’s her game, and that’s her scam,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the MSNBC management are cowards for letting her do this, but that’s what they chose to do.&#8221;
Reid recently also argued that Americans <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/lets-face-it-joy-reid-claims-americans-only-care-about-ukraine-because-theyre-white-and-christian/">only cared</a> about the Russian soldiers allegedly committing war crimes in Ukraine because they were &#8220;white and Christian.&#8221;

Twitter

MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested in a tweet that Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was &#8220;extra sick&#8221; for making black children hold signs opposing Critical Race Theory — which advocates for all issues to be viewed through the lens of race and its intersection with other aspects of society.
Reid claimed that DeSantis was &#8220;anti-black&#8221; and suggested that the only reason any black child would be at an event for the Florida Republican was that they were not told why they were really there.
A Friday tweet from Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones (D) was what apparently set Reid off — &#8220;The fact that @GovRonDeSantis had these Black young men, who are not clear on this message, holding up a sign about something they know nothing about is the real indoctrination,&#8221; he said.
Jones gave no explanation to back up his claims that the children were made to hold the signs or that they were &#8220;not clear on this message.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Reid responded by suggesting the same thing, arguing that there had to have been some missing background information to explain the fact that black children were holding signs opposing <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/the-five-lies-of-crt/">Critical Race Theory</a>.
&#8220;This mis-use of Black boys is tantamount to child abuse,&#8221; she tweeted. &#8220;I would really like to hear the back-story on who these kids were and how they wound up at a DeSantis event. Given how anti-Black DeSantis is, using Black children this way is extra sick.&#8221;

Author Chad Felix Greene shot back, <a href="https://twitter.com/chadfelixg/status/1517950427148468225">tweeting</a>, &#8220;Notice she automatically assumes the young men were being exploited before knowing any details of the event.&#8221;

Argue that POC are being exploited against their will when they share a message you disagree with, or believe they shouldn&#8217;t have because of their skin color.&#8221;
In fact, despite the assertions of people like Jones and Reid, some of the most <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/black-mom-torches-critical-race-theory-its-racist-its-teaching-hate-will-destroy-america/">vocal opposition</a> to Critical Race Theory — and attempts to infuse it into lessons being taught even in elementary schools — has been from black parents who don&#8217;t want their children to be taught they are victims.

‘Child Abuse’: Joy Reid Says It’s ‘Extra Sick’ That DeSantis Would Make Black Children Hold Anti-CRT Signs

Critical Race Theory

Leftist MSNBC host Joy Reid tweeted her disgust Friday with the Michigan jury that did not convict four men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D). 
Reid, as she does often, focused on the race and political leanings of the accused men, arguing they were not convicted because they are “white, right wing extremist[s].” 
“Unreal…so in America in the year of our Lord 2022, you can plot to kidnap a Democratic woman governor to stage a show trial and hurt her or worse, because you don’t like COVID restrictions and walk, as long as you’re a white, right wing extremist. Holy jury nullification, Batman,” the MSNBC host tweeted Friday in a response to a report from NBC News Correspondent Ken Dilanian, who wrote that there were “zero guilty verdicts in the case of the alleged plot to kidnap Michigan governor.”

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
As The Daily Wire’s Tim Pierce <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-jury-reaches-partial-verdict-in-gretchen-whitmer-kidnapping-plot-trial">reported</a> Friday, the jury reached a partial verdict on the trial that began in March, acquitting Brandon Caserta and Daniel Harris of conspiracy to kidnap the governor. Caserta and Harris are now walking free. The two other men on trial, Barry Croft and Adam Fox, were also not convicted of conspiracy charges, but many believe they will be retried since it was only a partial verdict. 
During the trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler argued, “In America, there’s a lot of things you can do. You can criticize the government publicly, absolutely. If you don’t like the government’s policies, you can protest them. If you don’t like elected leaders, you can vote them out at the ballot box. What you can’t do is kidnap them, kill them, or blow them up.”
However, the jury was unable to unanimously come to the conclusion that these four men wanted to commit any of those crimes.
The acquitted defendants and their families celebrated the jury’s verdict on Friday which came on Caserta’s birthday. “Best birthday ever,” he said. The Daily Wire also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/two-defendants-celebrate-acquittal-in-whitmer-kidnapping-trial-best-birthday-gift-ever">reported</a> that Harris’ father said after the verdict, “We are so elated! Unbelievable amount of people praying through this whole ordeal. God is so good!”
Joy Reid pinning her displeasure with the outcome of the trial on the defendants&#8217; race shouldn’t be too surprising. Reid makes a habit of focusing on race to explain political motivations. Last month, The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/lets-face-it-joy-reid-claims-americans-only-care-about-ukraine-because-theyre-white-and-christian">reported</a> that Reid concluded that Americans only cared about the plight of the Ukrainian people as Russia invaded their country and bombed their cities because they are “white and Christian.”
“Let’s face it, the world is paying attention because this is happening in Europe. If this was happening anywhere else would we see the same outpouring of support and compassion?” Reid said on her show. “We don’t need to ask ourselves if the international response would be the same if Russia unleashed their horror on a country that wasn’t White and largely Christian, because Russia has already done it in Syria.”

Joy Reid Melts Down Over Whitmer Kidnapping Plot Trial: No Convictions ‘As Long As You’re A White, Right Wing Extremist’

Gretchen Whitmer

MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed Tuesday that Republicans were pushing the United States toward a dystopian, white-male-centered &#8220;fascism mixed with Talibanism&#8221; — and that if Democrats were as bad as the GOP, they would be outright accusing Republicans of being pro-rape, pro-child marriage, and more.
&#8220;The greatest, and sickest irony of the @GOP&#8216;s new political strategy is that they are appealing to the most prurient fears of white Christian parents, while passing bills and maintaining alliances that normalize child brides and rape as a legitimate means of procreation,&#8221; Reid said, kicking off a lengthy Twitter thread.
&#8220;If Democrats were anything like Republicans, they&#8217;d long ago have begun calling them the pro-rape, pro child marriage party and accusing them of forcing women to be child-birthing slaves of the state, while banning the teaching of what slavery is to keep the chattel docile,&#8221; she continued, apparently suggesting that the only reason Democrats had not begun to use such terminology was that they were more civil.

&#8220;Think I&#8217;m exaggerating? Here is the [Federalist] piece that [Chris Hayes] referred to on his show tonight, in which the author justifies a 40-something year old man marrying a 14-16 year old girl, for the purposes of pumping her full of many, many children&#8230;,&#8221; Reid <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1511501319743356940">continued</a>. The MSNBC host failed to acknowledge the fact that even in the screenshots of the article she shared, the author pointed out the fact that men marrying younger women in order to allow for larger families was once a widely accepted practice — and that times had changed since.
&#8220;And here&#8217;s another, in which the @FDRLST gives away the game: all that matters is the SCOTUS,&#8221; Reid continued, referencing &#8220;The Handmaid&#8217;s Tale&#8221; and accusing conservatives of wanting to use the high court to implement a theocracy. &#8220;Because it is through the Supreme Court, that the white Christian right hopes to impose its Taliban code and procreation-centered ideology on us all. #underhiseye.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s Putinite fascism mixed with Talibanism. And it&#8217;s what they hope to impose on us: unbreakable rule by far right Christian ideologues, coal &amp; oil polluters, heeled corporations &amp; the super rich,&#8221; Reid claimed, arguing that the ultimate goal was a world where all rights were &#8220;hoarded by white Christian men &amp; everyone else under firm control.&#8221;

MSNBC Host: If Republicans Get Their Way, America Is On The Road To ‘Fascism Mixed With Talibanism’

Democratic Party

Republicans

MSNBC host Joy Reid compared conservatives to terrorists in a Twitter thread, saying that they capitalized on liberals&#8217; failure to turn out at smaller interim elections and arguing that &#8220;Republicans vote the way Al-Qaida fights.&#8221;
Reid had argued in a separate thread that Republicans were moving the United States toward a dystopian future in which everything was under the control of white men, and she concluded that by <a href="https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1511509391496912901">saying</a>, &#8220;Fascist America is not gonna be a great place to live, folks, at least not for women and people of color. It can still be prevented, but y&#8217;all have got to wake up. And yeah, Democrats are largely uninspiring and terrible fighters. But they&#8217;re all that stands between us and them.&#8221;
&#8220;Show me where Dems are standing between us and them, Joy,&#8221; @Its_Miss_Riss responded. &#8220;Show me where they&#8217;ve stopped the GOP states from passing literally 100s of bills shattering trans and gay rights, women&#8217;s rights, voting rights, election laws, &#8230; Biden literally called the GOP good people TODAY.&#8221;
Reid responded with a second thread, arguing that Democrats were losing in local elections — not because their candidates were weak or their policies were unpopular, but because their base wasn&#8217;t turning out.
&#8220;Democrats are in super minorities in these state legislatures where this stuff is passing precisely because their younger, multiracial base largely sits out midterm and state elections while Republicans, who are overwhelmingly white, rural and far right Christian vote every time,&#8221; she complained.
She then went on to argue that Republicans were willing to play the long game when it came to politics, while Democrats tended to give up if they did not achieve and immediate win.
&#8220;Republicans vote like al-Qaida fights: with a patient, long-term goal of seizing power and forcing the libertine culture to heel under the boot; no matter how many elections it takes. Many Democrats get frustrated after every setback and give up on voting without much of a fight,&#8221; she said.

Reid then turned her attack on <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/watch-peter-doocy-calls-out-bidens-support-for-texas-democrats-who-fled-the-state-over-voter-integrity-bill/">voter integrity measures</a> that have passed in a number of states — which proponents argue do not make it more difficult to vote but do make it <a href="https://www.mattfortexas.org/blog/post/easy-to-vote-hard-to-cheat">more difficult to cheat</a> — and suggested that they were <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/kerry-washington-voter-integrity-laws-target-black-and-brown-people/">designed to suppress votes</a> my making people feel like even if they could vote, it would not matter.
&#8220;That’s why those anti-voting laws work. They’re designed to frustrate voters out of even trying to participate.
