In an interview with Newsmax's Eric Bolling on January 16th, former Georgia GOP congressman Vernon Jones discussed MSNBC anchor Joy Reid's comments about Donald Trump's victory in the Iowa Caucus. In a clip from Media Matters, Reid stated that she believed Trump's win was due to the high number of white Christians in the state. Jones, however, did not agree with her assessment and took issue with her remarks.
He called out MSNBC for what he considered to be their lowest moment, specifically referring to Reid's "race rant" against white Christians. Jones questioned why there was anything wrong with being a Christian and being white, adding a jab at Reid's hair color. On Twitter, he continued to mock Reid and even made threats about her job security, predicting that she would be fired by the very white liberals she was trying to appease.
Jones also took aim at another MSNBC anchor, Rachel Maddow, accusing her of constantly bashing white men while trying to look like one herself. This comes as no surprise considering Newsmax's reputation as a pro-MAGA news network that has been openly critical of MSNBC's coverage of the caucus, particularly their decision not to air Trump's speech. Some media outlets have questioned the network's integrity in their reporting.
Despite the criticism, Reid continues to be a leading anchor who is not afraid to call out conservative viewpoints. On January 19th, she had a heated discussion with Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice about what books should or should not be available in public schools. Justice, who has been vocal about protecting parental rights, stated that all parents, regardless of their political beliefs or sexual orientation, should have the same rights. However, Reid challenged this idea, questioning why certain activists get to decide what books are available to thousands of children.
Justice denied that anyone was trying to ban books, but Reid came prepared with a list of books that have been banned, including "The Diary of Anne Frank," "Gender Queer," and "Martin Luther King and the March on Washington." The discussion highlighted the ongoing debate over censorship and the power of certain groups to decide what is appropriate for public consumption. This post drew attention to Jones' attack on Reid's appearance, which many have deemed unacceptable and a new low for the former GOP representative.
