Joy Reid: Trump Supporters Decided All of His Cruelty Was Fine, So Yeah, Were Gonna Dunk on Yall Today
.... Reid revealed she was in the middle of getting a covid test when she heard the news and said she subsequently walked to Times Square. And honestly, its like a new day, Lawrence. Its like the city has woken up from a slumber.
Reid then responded to people saying dont dunk on Trump supporters today.
Sorry, thats what people are going to do, she said. ....
We have had four years of mass deaths. 240,000 of our fellow Americans have died and Donald Trump was vowing to kill another several million of us through herd immunity. He didnt care about the dead. He ripped 1,000 children from their parents without a second thought.
Stephen Miller has been installed in the White House for four years practicing open, vile racism and xenophobia and making it policy. Millions of federal employees, hundreds of thousands of them have been barred from talking about systemic racism. They reversed policy on everything that was designed to make this country more fair for people like me. My immigrant family members, none of them could have come here under the rules that they placed against people who are Black and brown and coming from countries that are majority Muslim. They banned Muslim travelers, grandmas that wanted to see their grandkids.
The cruelty, the hideousness of this administration. The awfulness. They were threatening to take away my friends that are gay, that are married, and invalidate their marriages. They put in a Supreme Court that threatened to take away our health care, our desperately-needed health care. All my kids except one would be off my health care if they accomplished that.
They are threatening our lives. They dont mind if we die. So Im sorry if the Trump supporters are feeling a little sad this morning, but, yes, were going to dunk on yall, because you 70 million people said all of that was fine, do more of that, just give me a few more pennies in tax cuts if you dont make a million dollars a year. You didnt even really get anything. All you got was cruelty towards people like me.
This country is awake. We finally feel like we can breathe, Reid added. ....

Somebody said the wrong thing at the wrong time and broke the dam.
I didn't hear her, but the transcript you posted reads like it was just flowing out.

Cruelty towards Liberals (Libtards) was the reason 70 million voted for the orange one. They don't try to hide it. "The only good Liberal is a dead Liberal." says a lot. Fuck ya, I say dunk on them and , never let them forget they got owned.
