Getting dumped by MSNBC after years of raging against President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement hasn’t calmed former host Joy Reid down any. In fact, she’s stepped up her often insane attacks on conservatives as witnessed in a recent podcast, making her our Liberal Media Scream of the week.
It was on the extremely liberal I’ve Had It podcast where she claimed that Trump’s MAGA supporters are driven by racism against immigrants. She even went so far as to claim that the word “illegals” was equivalent to the N-word, ignoring efforts by Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton, to kick illegal migrants out of America.
Then she took her hate of conservatives back a decade to claim that the Tea Party was driven by racism when it was actually based on cutting government spending and debt. As the two white women hosts nodded like puppies, Reid claimed she had “data” to prove her nutty claims.
Racism is what “motivates” MAGA and the Tea Party, Reid charged as the two hosts, Jennifer Welch and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, said “right.”
According to Curtis Houck, the managing editor of Newsbusters, who captured Reid’s rant, she also insisted that “the base of MAGA is fundamentally racist” and the thing they are most motivated by is a “hatred of non-white immigrants.”
During the podcast, Reid wore a black T-shirt with white lettering announcing a series of left-wing phrases: “F*** Trump,” “F*** ICE,” “Free Palestine,” “Free DC!” and “Unoccupy Chicago.”
Joy Reid on the I’ve Had It podcast hosted by Jennifer Welch and Angie ‘Pumps’ Sullivan:
“[Vice President JD] Vance has a problem in that the base of MAGA is fundamentally racist. I know people don’t like it when you say it, but it’s the emergence from the Tea Party to MAGA. Tea Party, when you finally did the actual data, [Public Religion Research Institute] and others, the thing that most motivated them was race and hatred of non-white immigrants. What most motivates MAGA? Hatred of non-white immigrants. They’re obsessed with non-white immigrants and undocumented people.
They use the term illegals, which is just the N-word for brown people. If you want to say the N-word and it’s about brown people, you say ‘illegal.’ I’m sorry I said it again. That is me saying the N-word about, that is what it is, right? And that’s what motivates them. So they can’t have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the brown Hindu wife. They’re also Christian nationalists. That ain’t gonna work. That’s why he’s throwing his wife under the bus. Poor [second lady Usha Vance] — or she’s in on it, right?”
HUH?! Joy Reid says the NEW n-word in America is calling someone an “illegal”: “They use the term illegals, which is just the n-word for brown people. If you want to say the n-word and it’s about brown people, you say illegals.”

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “MS NOW dodged a bullet when MSNBC dropped Reid before the newly named channel separated from NBC and inherited the MSNBC shows and hosts. Since her departure last February, Reid has regularly spewed racist rants and wild conspiracy theories, all driven by her hatred of President Trump and disgust with all who support him. Impugning concern over illegal aliens, as the same as vile anti-black racism, is par for the course for her.”
RATING: FIVE out of FIVE screams.
