Joy Reid brought on a “body language expert” to accuse Bernie of lying because his physical posture resembles that of a turtle
The guest on Reid's show "AM Joy" was Janine Driver, who promotes herself as an "international communications expert" and the owner and president of the Body Language Institute. The segment sparked howls of criticism aimed at Driver, Reid, and the network.
"So now the slant is that he's physically intimidating too, oh and sexist," said writer and activist Malaika Jabali. "Totally cool, normal interpretation of someone being spontaneously confronted on national TV. It's getting outrageous."

it’s getting outrageous.
While both the Warren and Sanders camp have appeared desirous to put the dust-up about what was or wasn't said during a private 2018 meeting behind them, Day—who openly supports Sanders as the better and more progressive candidate—was among those unwilling to disarm so long as the corporate media outlets continue to air such blatant and irrresponsible attacks to their massive audiences.
"I know there's a big push to move on but if the mainstream media is gonna broadcast this fraudulent garbage," said Day, "then I don't feel particularly compelled to drop it."
She was hardly alone.
MSNBC is a fucking disgrace. What it allows on its air - this segment of bullshit charlatan body language analysis to prove Bernie is lying mixed with Joy Reid's anti-semitic stereotypes about his pushy use of his hands when speaking - is appalling but typical. The hacker did it. https://t.co/BHPyg6cPSG— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 18, 2020
"MSNBC is a fucking disgrace," said journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept. Greenwald said the use of "bullshit charlatan body language analysis" to call Sanders a liar was "appalling but typical" of the network.
“He turtles!” LOL! What a dope. But don’t worry there are plenty of dopes on the other side too!

The batshit huckster @JoyAnnReid brought on to do science on Bernie Sanders. The liberals are not handling his strong polling well https://t.co/EjgosOMnFc— Meagan Day (@meaganmday) January 18, 2020
And Vaccines!
Joy Reid's "body language" expert - who she called to decree that Bernie is lying because he hunches like a "turtle" - just deleted her anti-vaccine tweet. https://t.co/PNaAKwLtNo— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 18, 2020
There are accusations of anti-semitism:
just to be clear “body language experts” aren’t actually a thing and MSNBC should stop having them on all the time in general, whether it’s to interpret a hand shake between Trump and Kim Jong un or to call Bernie Sanders a shifty-eyed Jew— Adam H. Johnson (@adamjohnsonNYC) January 18, 2020
joy reid invited a phrenologist onto msnbc to explain that the semite has a special gland in his brain that makes him devious https://t.co/LzAPondY3i— Goth Ms. Frizzle (@spookperson) January 18, 2020
And just general absurdity:
lmao joy reid has a "body language expert" on her show to discuss what happened with warren and sanders after the debate and she completely distorts Bernie's reaching out for a handshake as he was "giving her the cold shoulder"— Matt Binder (@MattBinder) January 18, 2020
Next week on #AMJoy, tune in as Bigfoot explains to @JoyAnnReid why Bernie Sanders is the worst candidate for environmentalist voters. Don’t miss it. pic.twitter.com/3ZmMLAodKz— 🌹 Clark Feels The Bern (@Clarknt67) January 18, 2020
On the next #AMJoy , a mind reader tells us that while Bernie was extending a hand shake to Warren he was really thinking about selling her a sub-prime mortgage.— Jimmy Dore (@jimmy_dore) January 18, 2020
Yes, feel the hatred course through your veins..On the next #AMJoy, a psychic joins the panel to tell America that spirits are giving her signs that Bernie Sanders is the Zodiac Killer.— Emma Vigeland (@EmmaVigeland) January 18, 2020
LMFAO— citizen uprising (@cit_uprising) January 18, 2020
Mark today as the most ridiculous day on #AMJOY
They are having a segment on how sexist Bernie is and wait for it... They just brought on a body language "expert" to guarantee Bernie's body language showed he was 100% lying.
JFC. MSNBC & CNN are centrists superpac.
When you bring in body language "experts" it's clear you have nothing of substance that will justify your hatred of #Bernie2020, the candidate who can defeat Trump. It's so Fox News. Keep it up, though. The longer this goes on, the more it helps Bernie. @amjoyshow #AMJoy— psileste (@Christarchist) January 18, 2020
Wow this lady really trying to claim body language as proof Bernie is lying, this segment is special type of idiotic #AMJOY— Curio (@Majihd1) January 18, 2020
They’re so angry, they’re actually figuring out the media is biased!
One of the biggest mistakes from the Sanders campaign during this election cycle was not treating CNN and MSNBC the way he treated Fox News during his town hall. That should have been Bernie this ENTIRE primary— Elizabeth Warren is a Joe Manchin Democrat (@FlyThaiMMA) January 18, 2020
That shit resonates because Americans hate the media#AMjoy
Welcome to the party! We have booze, but no paper straws, sorry…
