(WATCH) MSNBC’s Joy Reid Suggests Republicans Hate Biden Because He Was VP To ‘The Black President’ (VIDEO)
Joy Reid, an MSNBC host, claimed she doesn’t understand why Republicans “hate” Vice President Joe Biden, but speculated that it may be because he served as vice president to “the black president,” a reference to former President Barack Obama.
Reid made the remark on Wednesday’s “ReidOut” show on MSNBC, during a panel discussion.

She said Biden “has become for Republicans as much of a sort of figure of hatred, a hate object, as President Obama was. You know, the black president. Like, he was his vice president, maybe that’s part of it. I don’t know what it is.”
Furthermore, Reid asserted that Biden is a moderate, calling him an “ordinary Democrat.”
She continued, “But this is the like the most sort of norm, core Democrat ever. He’s a moderate, you know, sort of ordinary Democrat. There’s nothing outrageous about him, but they have cast him as some sort of demonic character.”

Reid has made a number of statements regarding race in recent weeks. Earlier this week, Reid went off on white Conservative Christians.
As The Scoop reported earlier:
On Monday, MSNBC host Joy Reid attacked white Christian Conservatives, Joe Rogan, and alternative social media platform, Gettr.
Reid said, “there are white so-called Christian conservatives who feel like this country was built by them for them, and so everyone but them needs to suck it up and let them have their way or else.”
She continued, “their party, the Republicans, have gone from pretending to be the party of personal responsibility to unmasking themselves as the party of selfish people that cannot play well with others.”
Reid then bashed Conservatives for attempting to create alternative social media platforms like Gettr: “And they even have their own cable networks plus something called GETTR, which kind of sounds like porn. Moving on…”

She then named Conservatives equated Conservatives to be “special citizens.” Reid bashed anti-maskers, saying they say things like, “‘I don’t want to wear a mask, and if you try to attack me, I’ll attack the low-waged clerks at the store or at the Burger King. I don’t want to get the vaccine either. If people get sick from me, oh well, not my problem.’”
Next, she came after Joe Rogan, who refuses to label himself as a Republican or a Christian. Reid said, “‘Joe Rogan said it’s fine. My kids aren’t going to mask up to protect those other kids. F those other kids, their parents are probably commies anyway.’ Which usually means people who want rights for other people and who give a damn what happens to them.”
She concluded by saying, “this midterm election year, we’re going to find out which brand of citizenship is stronger, and the answer will tell us whether our democracy is strong enough to survive.”
