A day before she accused Trump’s legal team of engaging in “sedition,” MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid managed on Wednesday to mangle an on-air correction (after being called out by NewsBusters), shout down a Black ex-Trump aide, smear White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and imply criticism of Susan Rice was racist.

20 minutes into the show, Reid attempted to clean up her lie from Tuesday’s show that Moderna and Pfizer are not a part of Operation Warp Speed:

Today, Pfizer announced that its vaccine is 95 percent effective at preventing the disease and that it plans to ask the FDA for emergency authorization within days. Moderna announced a similar success rate. And I should correct what we reported last night. Moderna did receive funding from the administration's Operation Warp Speed to develop the vaccine. Pfizer did not.
