MSNBC’s Reid Goes Off The Rails Demanding Dems Stop With Biden’s Unity

During his inauguration speech, Biden claimed he was going to unify the nation. But it seems many Dems are not interested in unity. MSNBC Host  Joy Reid is one of these Dems that has no interest in bringing the country together. In fact, she wants Dems to push things through and is actually suggesting Dems stop trying to work with the GOP altogether. During an interview with Senator Booker, Reid explained her position.

“Isn’t it better politics to just pass that [$1.9 trillion package] and not try to beg Republicans to get on board?” she asked Booker rhetorically. “Just pass it,” she exclaimed.

“You know, I will stipulate that I am far more petty than you or Joe Biden, right? And so, that’s why I’m not in politics. But when you read me that whole long list of things that Donald Trump came in and did unilaterally, his base has like a negative obsession with Muslims. They have a negative obsession with non-white immigrants. They have negative obsessions with all sorts of things, and he said, I promised you I’d hurt those people. Watch me hurt them. The cruelty was the point. He didn’t care about asking you, Senator Booker, is it okay with you if I hurt those people? I’m just going to go and do it. You have Joe Biden coming in, the people, the 80 million people who voted for him voted for help. They voted for help, immediately. They didn’t vote for Susan Collins to not be concerned about it.”

“Booker then bashed the Trump administration for moving “unilaterally” on various campaign promises. Booker failed to mention, of course, that former President Obama, too, moved unilaterally early on in his first term to meet some of his promises made on the campaign trail. Nor did Booker mention any of the nearly four dozen executive orders Biden signed since assuming office.”

Reid is talking big right now since Dems have control of the Senate and House but she would be saying the exact opposite if the GOP had the majority. She would likely be calling for unity. But she has no foresight, so she is being divisive. We will see if she changes her tune when the GOP takes back the House and Senate.
