MSNBC’s foremost gun-hater, Joy Reid, was particularly aggravated by the Supreme Court’s decision that struck down a Trump administration-era ban on bump stocks by the ATF. On Tuesday’s episode of The ReidOut, she invited former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich and Slate writer Mark Joseph Stern to denounce the apparent “oligarchy” that they alleged was working behind the scenes to orchestrate the destruction of America’s democracy.
Reid characterized conservatives as a “tag team,” disparaging the Supreme Court justices as little more than the lackeys of Republicans “who are taking the money” from gun rights, defense, and oil and gas lobbyists. She made sure to note that there were “only two Democrats on the list for defense money, but other than that, we're talking about all Republicans.”
According to Reid’s logic, Republicans were corrupt only because she hated the causes which supported them. Yet, she made no mention of the copious funds Democrat politicians received from teacher unions, unions in general, social media and tech companies, etc.
