MSNBC's Joy Reid : 'Your brilliant little COVID plan is killing your right-wing hosts'

Joy Ann Reid leads The Reid Out tonight with exploring why in part Gov. Gavin Newsom beat the recall effort: according to exit polls the most important issue for voters was the pandemic.  "OK, we get it! COVID is the precious and you love it. You love COVID so much you want it to spread into schools, at the office, in the Walmart, on the cruise ships and in the club," Reid said. "That great spongy ball with the red spikes, you want it pumping through your veins with an Ivermectin chaser. Why do you love it do dadgum so much? We have absolutely no bloody idea."  "But here's the thing you weirdos … everyone else hates COVID!" she added, before listing instances of hospitals being overwhelmed with coronavirus patients and people who died from the virus. "So yeah, the rest of us hate that this is happening. Even the Pope. The Pope hates COVID too, and he loves everybody. He also says get vaccinated," Reid said. "Yet, you, you Republicans s...

MSNBC's Joy Reid addresses Nicki Minaj dustup, admits her own vaccine hesitancy under Trump

  MSNBC host   Joy Reid   addressed her viral spat with rapper superstar   Nicki Minaj   for expressing hesitancy over the   coronavirus   vaccine.  On Monday, Reid scolded Minaj for her tweets expressing skepticism of the vaccine to her nearly 23 million Twitter followers, which prompted a fiery response from the hip-hop artist.  The next day, Reid attempted to lower the temperature and pivot towards a "teachable moment." "Essentially, she made public her own vaccine deliberation, which according to trusted friends is a better way to describe vaccine hesitancy, which by the way is not the same thing as refusal," Reid told her viewers on Tuesday. "But by doing, Nicki also used her social media platform and her 22 million Twitter followers to cast doubt on the vaccine to a heavily Black audience. Needless to say, both my comments and her series of infuriated responses went viral. Clearly, Nicki was not amused, but that’s okay. I feel like ever...

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj fires back at MSNBC's Reid for vaccine skepticism scolding: 'Thirsty to down another Black woman'

Today Nicki Minaj tweeted that she wasn’t going to the Met Gala because they were mandating the vaccine and she wouldn’t be bullied into getting it: They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now. In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one 🙏♥️ — Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 13, 2021 "They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now," Minaj wrote. "In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one." She later tweeted about her "cousin in Trinidad" who is refusing to take the vaccine because a friend of his claimed "his testicles became swollen" and "became impotent" as a res...

Joy Reid gleefully reacts to guest's hypothetical 'President Pelosi' election indecision scenario

President Trump seems determined to sow confusion and chaos ahead of the 2020 election. Laurence Tribe says the president is trying to make the election ‘look chaotic’ and mentions a ‘fail safe’: President Nancy Pelosi. Over the past several weeks, President Trump has expressed his deep opposition towards mail-in voting amid concerns from the coronavirus outbreak. Following his explosive tweet that suggested the delaying of the November election, Trump warned that allowing mail-in voting could prevent the determination of a decisive winner for "days," "weeks," even "months." Harvard Law School professor Laurence Tribe, an outspoken critic of the president, joined Reid on Friday's installment of "The ReidOut" to urge Democrats not to play Trump's "game" of allowing him to continue to be president if no winner is determined following the election. He stressed Trump cannot legally declare himself the "default"...

Joy Reid says “Trump has based his campaign strategy on painting a false portrait of cities under siege.”

Joy Reid smiles and laughs and giggles at the rising crime in major U.S. cities, saying it's not true. Her evidence? There was a show mocking Portland called Portlandia! Does Joy care about the businesses lost and the people being shot in Chicago? I haven’t been this sold on something since I first heard about donut holes. Congratulations to super sleuth Joy Reid for finally proving once and for all that all the videos of riots and fires and all the dead people and all the surges in coronavirus cases resulting from huge protests and all the Chicago shootings and all the beatings in Seattle and Portland that we’ve seen video from and watched live and heard recounted and that resulted in arrests and over which court cases have been brought and from which there are actual casualty counts and for which these cities and the small businesses that sustain have lost millions of dollars WERE ALL MADE UP BY TRUMP JUST IN THE LAST WEEK OR TWO SO HE COULD FINALLY FIND A WAY TO BEAT ...

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." so now the slant is that he’s physically intimidating too, oh and sexist. totally cool, normal interpretation of someone being spontaneously confronted on national TV. it’s getting outrageous. — #Mexit2020👸🏽 (@MalaikaJabali) January 18, 2020 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 Sander...
