Conservative activist Herb London appeared on AM Joy and attempted to defend Donald Trump by deflecting towards conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton. Joy-Ann Reid continued her journalistic duties as she forcefully fact checked him in real time. It was an epic performance.

(4,446 posts)I think Reid may even be smarter than Maddow, and I haven't seen her let anyone get away with bullshitting yet. She'll stop someone in their tracks and debunk lies on the spot. She's absolutely fantastic. I wish we had 100 of her on the air.
"We're wasting time talking about false conspiracy theories. We would like you to focus on Donald Trump. That's why you're here. If you'd like to talk about Hillary Clinton, we will book you for a Hillary Clinton segment." I mean, BOOM! That's a hell of a shutdown. I'd love to see her take on Kellyanne Conway. She would tear Conway up.
