Joy Reid: All the Ways Tucker Carlson is Making America Worse
In case you missed it, back in 2021, journalist and MSNBC host Joy Reid took a look at all the ways Tucker Carlson is ‘making America worse.’
“People like you, and your friends at the BS factory, are keeping us steeped in Covid sickness, and rage, and paranoia.” ~ Joy Reid
Joy Reid’s mini-biography on Tucker Carlson’s many failures aired on May 3, 2021.
Journalist Joy Reid responded to Fox News personality Tucker Carlson after becoming aware that he frequently refers to her as ‘the race lady,’ on his broadcast.
Reid easily clapped back, saying, “Did you want to go to Harvard? Did they reject you? And you think, ‘they let the race lady in, ugh, affirmative action, ugh!’ Let me cheer you up, ok? I got into Harvard, and ok, Yale, Vassar, and the University of Denver too, because I had a really high GPA and fantastic S.A.T. scores; that’s how affirmative action works, love.”
“See, just because maybe you didn’t have great grades and great test scores and needed girlfriend’s daddy to help you get into college, doesn’t mean you don’t have amazing people in your life who love you. I mean, you got all that Swanson money, right? Fish sticks for everybody, woo!”
Reid dedicated almost five minutes to unpacking Carlson’s issue with her and her platform. She also called out his educational and career mishaps, including his canceled show at MSNBC, rejected application to the CIA, and his not-so-remarkable stint at CNN.
