MSNBC's Reid Tries to ‘Gotcha’ Trump With Tweet, Gets Egg On Her Face Instead

July 24th, 2017 12:40 PM

Anti-Trump MSNBC host Joy Reid is so eager to prove Trump colluded with Russia to win the election, that she will say just about anything to make it true. The AM Joy host embarrassed herself last Friday in a tweet where she claimed that two of Trump’s wives just happened to be from “Soviet Yugoslavia.”

Online critics quickly corrected Reid for her factually inaccurate attempt to shame Trump
 
What makes this whopper of a mistake even more hilarious is that Reid’s own bio mocks the “ignorant”:

Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” - James Baldwin #AMJoy #reiders

This tweet came just a day after Reid again failed to “fact-check” the right. On her show AM Joy July 20, a guest brought up the Clinton Foundation’s use of donations from an uranium mining company. While even the left-wing media, from The Guardian to The New York Times have called out these donations as, at the very least, suspicious, Reid shut down the story as having no merit. “That is a completely false claim peddled by many on the right!” Reid stated to her guest.

Reid has made a long career of attacking Republicans and conservatives. She frequently accuses the right of racism, even blaming Trump voters for only voting to “hurt brown people,” and turning America into “Nazi Germany.
