Joy Reid is one of the best things on MSNBC. Along with Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes, she is unquestionably one of the main reasons to watch the network, and she never hesitates to speak her mind.
On AMJoy earlier today, Reid couldn’t resist commenting on remarks Donald Trump made at one of his campaign rallies this morning in Tampa. Referring to a concert held last night in Cleveland by Jay Z and Beyonce, Trump had to try and steal some of the spotlight by saying:
“I actually like Jay Z. But, you know, the languages last night. He used every word in the book. I won’t even use the initials, because I’ll get in trouble.”
Yeah, and it would be so strange to hear you use coarse language, Donald, because you’re such a moral and religious person who never ever curses or talks about grabbing women “by the pussy.” Reid rightly took Trump to task and looked directly into the camera as she said:
“Now, Donald Trump has a problem with Jay Z’s language, okay? Because Jay Z is a hip hop guy. I want to remind America, the guy who has a problem with Jay Z’s language? This is his language.”
Reid then showed the now infamous Access Hollywood clip where Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women and getting away with it because he’s famous. Reid went after the GOP nominee again:
“Jay Z has said a lot of things in his songs, but he’s never said that, Donald Trump.”
The MSNBC host also referenced a magazine article in which 2 Live Crew founder Luther Campbell recalled meeting Trump at a party being held by the real estate magnate. Campbell told XXL:
“Me, Mike Tyson and Eddie Murphy, we were invited to [Trump’s] mansion in West Palm Beach one time. And he had all these women running around. It was so much going on to the point that I couldn’t take what was going in that room and I left. It was some wild things going on. It was some things I can’t even say.”
Lastly, Reid laid this truth bomb right on top of Trump’s fake hair:
“We should perhaps talk to Melania, who wants to have this campaign against cyber-bullying — which she can begin at home at the dinner table.”
