#MSNBC anchor Joy Reid’s crying shame: Devine

Joy Reid is a racist sociopath. How else to explain her reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse breaking down in the witness box during his murder trial last week? 

“White crocodile tears,” said the hate-mongering MSNBC prime-time anchor. 

This is a woman on a seven-figure salary who went to Harvard and has more elite privilege in her little finger than the 17-year-old son of a single mother who was in Kenosha working as a lifeguard when all hell broke loose in the form of BLM-Antifa riots in August 2020. 

Yet Reid continually plays the victim and makes her living punching down at white people less fortunate than she is. 

Rittenhouse, now 18, lost his composure last week when he had to recount the moment he was cornered by two men, Joshua Ziminski, who was advancing on him with a pistol in his hand, and Joseph Rosenbaum, a deranged pedophile just out of a psych ward, who had already twice threatened to kill him. 

His face crumpled as he tried to squeeze together his eyes to stop the tears, and his body shook with great shuddering sobs. This is exactly how a brave, manly young man behaves when he doesn’t want to cry or show weakness. 

Up until that moment he had answered questions with admirable composure. But the memory of taking two lives, albeit in self-defense, clearly rests heavily on him, as it would on anyone with a conscience. His lawyer told the court on Friday that Rittenhouse is in therapy and has post-traumatic stress disorder due to the shootings. 

The authenticity of his emotion was evident to anyone but a sociopath. 

“Kyle Rittenhouse put on quite a show for the nearly all-white jury in his murder trial,” Reid sneered in response to his tears. 

She described him as “a novice actor attempting to convey sorrow . . . It was a Razzie-worthy performance in my view, but I’m not the target audience for this sick show.” 

What a cold, heartless woman. 

She is no better than the sadists on Twitter who post photos of Rittenhouse crying and fantasize about his spending the rest of his life in jail being anally raped. 

Reid was outraged that Rittenhouse is “being prosecuted in front of a nearly all-white jury, before a white judge . . . in a country where white vigilantism is often excused, if not worshipped.” 

Considering almost 90 percent of Kenosha County’s population is white, it’s hardly a surprise that a jury would be majority white. 

She trotted out all the lies about the Rittenhouse trial, which one of her guests described as “white privilege on steroids.” 

In that sense she was echoing Joe Biden, who prejudged Rittenhouse as a “white supremacist,” and the Vermont ice cream merchants Ben & Jerry’s, who tweeted “The Rittenhouse trial proves again that our justice system is racist. How would this trial be going if he was a Black 17 yr old that crossed state lines illegally carrying an AR-15 and shot 3 white protesters.” 

Isn’t there any duty of care with these hate mongers to get basic facts right? 

Rittenhouse belonged in Kenosha, unlike the violent Antifa terrorists who were bussed in from liberal wastelands far afield like Portland and Seattle to assault police and burn the town down. His father, grandmother, aunt, uncle, cousins and best friend live there. He worked as a lifeguard in Kenosha and had just finished a shift on the day in question, before he volunteered to help clean rioters’ graffiti off a local school. 

He regards Kenosha as “my community.” He did not carry a gun “across state lines,” as media luminaries falsely claim. The AR-15 is kept in Kenosha in a safe. Nor was it illegal for a 17-year-old to possess a gun in Wisconsin, the court has heard. 

But for Reid, he is guilty of murder because he was born white. Every night she spews hatred against white people. 

Who knows what pathology drives her but it’s not healthy, for her or any of her dwindling audience. Shame on MSNBC for elevating such a hate-filled racist to prime time. 

She has zero charisma and her ratings are lackluster. But for some unfathomable reason, she has Teflon protection at the network, even after being caught out for homophobic and anti-Semitic comments on her blog. She implausibly pretended her blog had been “hacked” and got a free pass. 

But hateful bigotry still informs her every word. When talking about the Virginia gubernatorial election, for instance, she said Glenn Youngkin won because education is “code for white parents who don’t like the idea of teaching about race.” 

When Winsome Sears became the first black woman to win the office of lieutenant governor of Virginia, rather than acknowledge the achievement, Reid griped that Republicans “demand credit” for voting for black candidates. Then she nodded along vigorously as her guest smeared Sears as a “black mouth . . . who justifies and legitimates the white supremacist practices.” 

Reid has called black Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Clarence,” as in “Uncle Tom.” 

You would think the daughter of immigrants would be more grateful to the country that gave her everything, but no. Any chance she gets, she attacks America as irredeemably racist. 

Joy Reid is the embodiment of the “wealthy black elitists” that Rep. Burgess Owens describes as having done the most damage to the black community — by joining forces with white leftists to divide Americans.
