On Wednesday night’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid wasted no time in dissecting former President Donald Trump’s interview at the National Association of Black Journalists. She and MSNBC contributor April Ryan pounced on Trump for “the visual depiction of a dumpster fire,” while aggressively defending Vice President Kamala Harris.
Reid began by accusing Trump of “attacking” Rachel Scott of ABC news, notably omitting Scott’s obnoxious opening question while skipping right to the former president’s response without context. After playing various clips from the interview, Reid conducted a “quick fact check” and dragged out one of the liberal media’s new favorite talking points, namely that Harris was never President Joe Biden’s “border czar.”
Reid also clapped back at Trump’s claim that Harris failed to pass the bar exam in California stating, “That is how she became the district attorney of San Francisco and the attorney general in the state of California.” Harris did initially fail the bar exam and numerous sources, like The Federalist’s Mark Hemingway, point to Harris’s affair with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown as directly responsible for her political successes, rather than her vast intelligence as the MSNBC host would have her viewers believe.
