BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – MSNBC star Joy Reid racially charged comments on a conservative commentary were mocked on Twitter by users across the political spectrum. It all started when Reid responded to a piece written by David French that theorized a hypothetical nuclear attack on the heels of the false alarm that occurred in Hawaii last weekend. The conservative French noted that a “strike would devastate central Honolulu but leave many suburbs intact.” Reid apparently failed to read French’s actual story that was published in the National Review, instead opting for watered-down, misleading pickups that were published by Newsweek and Raw Story that focused on Trump supporters living in rural areas. The MSNBC host then twisted the already watered-down versions of the story to make it about race.
“We have truly entered the age of insanity when the conservative argument in favor of risking nuclear war is, ‘don’t worry, it will only kill Democrats and minorities.’ Shame on you @DavidAFrench,’” Reid wrote. After reading the entire article on National Review, she still refused to apologize. “The insults hurled at me from members of both parties is prompted by racism. The mean spirited comments were made solely because I’m black, and not because I continue to be extremely stupid.”
