President Trump has called upon MSNBC to fire ReidOut host Joy Reid for comparing his supporters to radicalized Muslims.
Like Fredo at Fake News @CNN, the very untalented Joy Reid should be fired for this horrible use of the words Muslim Terrorists. Such xenophobia and racism on MSDNC. Anyone else would be gone, and fast!!! he tweeted Wednesday morning.
Trump actually misquotes Reid in the tweet. At no point did she say terrorists.
What Reid actually said Monday was this: Leaders lets say in the Muslim world talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy. We in the U.S. media describe them as they are radicalizing those people particularly when theyre radicalizing young people. Thats how we talk about the way Muslims act. When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different from what we describe as radicalizing people?

(63,221 posts)I really do. I can't believe people like this exist. WTF is wrong with them? I do not see people like this in my daily life, thank god, but just knowing that they are out there makes me feel ill.
I will never understand this as long as I live.

(8,716 posts)Cult roaming the streets in Pickup trucks shooting at opposition, flying their own hate flags, worshipping a warped hate filled God, and someone else transcribed the meaning of the BOOK to them, because they cant read. But our DICKtator has not only 2 evil sons, he has a daughter and extremely evil son in law. Loves his picture splattered everywhere and controls a media that praises his every move. And loves everything gold. So, where is Joy Reid wrong? Sharia Law is their mission as well. 72 teenage virgins with blond hair await them. A second term will provide trump statues nation wide.

Hell. . . If I was broken down on the highway, I wouldn't get in a car with a Pussy-Grabber bumper sticker. I would prefer to fucking WALK.
