Leading off Thursday’s ReidOut, scandal-ridden MSNBC host Joy Reid spun her latest web divorced from reality by comparing Senator David Perdue (R-GA) to Martha Stewart and insinuating that Perdue should be cuffed and jailed due to claims of inside trading that arose with the businesswoman in 2004.
Reid began with a bizarre, gleeful, and unhinged diatribe tying Perdue to Stewart:
Martha Stewart. Queen of domesticity. Baroness of the bunt cake. And ironic gal pal of Snoop — Snoop d-o-double chisel, ya nizzle? Now, despite the fame and her wealth, Ms. Stewart once sold a bunch of stock one day before those very stock prices plummeted. She never faced criminal insider trading charges but still served five months in prison for lying to authorities during an investigation with the sale. Enter Republican Senator David Perdue, who may or may not be able to whip a homemade creme fraiche. He was scrutinized for possible insider trading for his sale of more than $1 million worth of stock. No, the system must work differently for Perdue because the Justice Department, also known as Trump, Barr, and Associates, declined to bring charges. And now we're learning that Perdue is the Senate’s most prolific stock trader.
