During MSNBC’s The ReidOut on Monday, host Joy Reid continued her rage-filled tirades against the Republican Party. This time accusing them, without evidence, that they want Democrats to not feel physically or emotionally safe anywhere in the country.
Reid lashed out at the GOP claiming “their anger has frankly corroded into something more like hate. To the point where they, even as a minority…are openly flaunting the idea that because they’re not happy in and don't feel affirmed by a more socially liberal modern multi-cultural and yes more secular America that there should be no safe spaces.”
She added that if the GOP “had anything to do with it, there would be no place in this country where any of us [Democrats] should feel safe. That's our punishment.”
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she used strawman arguments to paint the GOP as dangerous and unhinged:
Too many immigrants are coming here, build a wall to keep them out. Separate them from their kids. Women are having abortions and not helping grow the domestic population of infants. We'll just pass laws to make them give birth. Rape, incest we don’t care. You’re gonna do it and anyone who helps you should fear getting sued. They’re teaching history that makes me mad. Ban the books, make teachers too afraid to teach what I don’t like. They make me wear a mask or get vaccinated against COVID, nope no one tells me what to do, I'm gonna get in your face and threaten you. I don't care if another million people die. Too many of them are voting for socialist policies like health care. How about a couple of armed poll watchers following you to your car or make you stand in line with no water and then question your registration. Their so-called votes forced Trump out of office, let's storm the capitol make even the cops fear us. We’ll bring a noose.
Becoming more and more deranged as the segment went on, Reid removed all doubt over whether she meant Republicans want Democrats to feel unsafe physically. “Set aside ideological or emotional safety” Reid prefaced. “We're not allowed to feel physically safe anywhere in America thanks to Republicans’ ironclad partnership with the blood-soaked NRA which long ago quit the gun safety business and has been working for decades to make sure that the most lethal arms get into as many alienated 18 and 19-year-old incel hands as possible.”
She ended her delusional and vile rant by falsely claiming “in America, you are literally rolling the dice every time you leave your house or drop off your kids at school.”
This evil rant by Joy Reid was made possible thanks to the endorsement from AT&T. Their information is linked.

MSNBC’s The ReidOut
6/6/2022
7:01:40 p.m. EasternJOY REID: Their anger has frankly corroded into something more like hate. To the point where they, even as a minority. Only about 30 percent of Americans are Republicans, are openly flaunting the idea that because they’re not happy in and don't feel affirmed by a more socially liberal modern multi-cultural and yes more secular America that there should be no safe spaces. If they had anything to do with it, there would be no place in this country where any of us should feel safe. That's our punishment. We have a political party that's selling demographic panic and rage and alienation, a really dangerous combination saying basically that Democrats should feel afraid. I mean, just take a look at the way some Republicans are advertising their political campaigns these days.
(...)
REID: I mean, they’re saying immigrants should feel afraid and that quote, unquote, socialists should feel afraid, and since all Democrats are supposedly socialists well. Too many immigrants are coming here, build a wall to keep them out. Separate them from their kids. Women are having abortions and not helping grow the domestic population of infants. We'll just pass laws to make them give birth. Rape, incest we don’t care. You’re gonna do it and anyone who helps you should fear getting sued. They’re teaching history that makes me mad. Ban the books, make teachers too afraid to teach what I don’t like. They make me wear a mask or get vaccinated against COVID, nope no one tells me what to do, I'm gonna get in your face and threaten you. I don't care if another million people die. Too many of them are voting for socialist policies like health care. How about a couple of armed poll watchers following you to your car or make you stand in line with no water and then question your registration. Their so-called votes forced Trump out of office, let's storm the capitol make even the cops fear us. We’ll bring a noose.

REID: And okay, set aside ideological or emotional safety we're not allowed to feel physically safe anywhere in America thanks to Republicans’ ironclad partnership with the blood-soaked NRA which long ago quit the gun safety business and has been working for decades to make sure that the most lethal arms get into as many alienated 18 and 19-year-old incel hands as possible so that we can't feel safe at Walmart, at the supermarket, at bible study or church service, at the salon, at the hospital, if God forbid some guy gets mad at his doctor for not giving him opioids, at a nightclub, at a concert, even at a funeral. Or at school. Whether you're in high school or you're ten and in the fourth grade, in America, and only in America you are literally rolling the dice every time you leave your house or drop off your kids at school, and you just have to pray that today is not your day or their day to meet that angry alienated American man with an AR-15.
