Joy Reid, the host of MSNBC’s “ReidOut” walked headfirst into controversy Monday when she suggested that President Trump radicalized his supporters in the same way “Muslims act.”
Per Fox News:
“We in the U.S. media describe that as they are radicalizing those people — particularly when they’re radicalizing young people. That’s 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?”
Her comments came in response to President Trump retweeting a video of a pro-Trump caravan which included a man who shot paintballs at protesters.
Honestly, this kinda of casual Islamophobia is hurtful and dangerous.
We deserve better and an apology for the painful moment for so many Muslims around our country should be forthcoming. https://t.co/megnZyL9dd

Rep. Rashida Tlaib quickly chimed in, echoing Omar’s concerns.
Words matter and these words feed into the harmful anti-Muslim rhetoric & actions that we continue to see in this country. It is even more painful to hear it from someone I admire.
We deserve an apology. https://t.co/Ei1R4FojZJ

Reid did not mention the issue on her show Tuesday night, which prompted criticism from the civil rights organization Muslim Advocates.
“She spent much of the show discussing racism, however Reid failed to acknowledge the harm she caused, did not apologize for stereotyping Muslims as violent radicals and failed to address her history of anti-Muslim comments …” the group said in a statement. “By refusing to apologize and disavow her anti-Muslim comments, Reid is continuing to put Muslims in danger.
Other journalists and activists who typically find themselves aligned with Reid expressed outrage on Twitter.
Nearly 1/4 of the world’s population acts how? https://t.co/jOta8uNHsZ

Good to see these meatheads turn on each other! Too bad Omar and Tliab don’t jump to defend America that quickly!
they ALL need to be sent their “wonderland” where women are subjugated,brutalized,sexually violated,sexually disfigured, all in the name of “allah” ! That entire “religion” is a sick perversion..Just ask them, “if it is SO good “there” why the hell are you here !??
They are stark raving mad. Trump is not radicalizing anybody in any way.
Islam is, by its own words!, a murderous, terrorizing, jew-hating, gay-killing, women-stoning,totalitarian ideology.
How can any muslim demand an apology for stating their own owrds?
Muslims can be muslims but they have no call for acting offended. It’s just part of their strategy to gain power.
Three Blind Racists. Three Blind Racists. It’s Obvious To The Viewership. That These Three Are Completely Full Of Sh*t. Three Blind Racists.
(sung to the tune of Three Blind Mice)
The truth hurts for the squad. The president is speaking about the feelings of American Citizens not just his personal feelings.
If Illing Omer and Rashy Labia are offended, they are free to go back wherever they came from PERMANENTLY.
I love it when they devour each other.
Love the sound of radicals eating their own in the morning.
I’m guessing not a lot of Muslim Americans listen to Joy Reid…. their smarter than that …
LMAO! Pathetic cat fight.
It’s a good thing so few intelligent people listen to Reid. Someone said something about radicals.
I think Joy hit the nail on the head….well sort of.
I’m not sure about Trump radicalizing people but I do believe that Radical Muslims do it.That’s why they are upset about thisarticle. It exposes them and they don’t like to be exposed.The Radical Muslims don’t mind pointing fingers but they don’t like to be pointed at.
What the hell is the matter with Joy Reid. Does she not know that Muslims are of the Oppressed. Therefore, they cannot be in the wrong no matter what they do. What University did she attend….. Prager U? Hillsdale College? Sheesh!!!
If any of you ever bothered to read the Koran, it will open your eyes to just how duplicitous Muslimes are expected to be to achieve superiority over “infidels”. Indeed it is unadvisable to trust any Muslime, because they all are expected to deceive you as much as possible. Deals with infidels need not be honored, and outright lies are expected by the Koran. Although the Koran is fairly short, it does take some time to read and understand it. Don’t worry, it won’t convince you to become a Muslime yourself, much in the contrary, unless you are stupid and already brainwashed. A much quicker way is to watch a short video called FITNA, but as it tells the truth, it is practically banned from the Internet. It was taken off YouTube years ago, because it hurt the feelings of the lying Muslimes despite having been made by a reputable Dutch politician (Geert Wilders) in response to the many murders committed by radical Muslimes. It seems, that Muslimes cannot handle the truth about themselves despite it being written in their own “holy” book ! If you want to view the video or even download it, you will have difficulties finding it on Google. They moved links to it very far down the list of search results. Accused of being “Islamophobic” Wilders was cleared in court ! However Islamic cultists still are lying about him.
Try to watch FITNA, but you need to look hard for it and some advanced searching my be needed. Nothing in that video is truly divisive or offending, as all the quotes come straight out of the Koran, but the truth can hurt those, who try to hide it… Tlaib and Omar are both liars, who do not care about the Constitution but want it replaced by Sharia law. This makes them break their oath of office and they should be removed from political power immediately. They are both traitors to the USA ! So yes, the radicalization of and by Muslimes is real and cannot be denied. They came here to infiltrate and sabotage a country built on freedom and tolerance, and tolerance for others is not part of the Islamic system. Remember, that during the Second World War Muslime troops we’re fighting alongside and with the Nazi forces… Makes you think, doesn’t it ?
Looks like 3 disgusting pigs to me, all nothing but trash.
Reid finally stepped in her own dung. Let ’em fight.
The left eating their own. Gotta love it.
Joyless Reid is really irrelevant to any conversation on any subject
Tliab and Omar are radical Muslims!!!
Thats why their upset, for being called out!! Im just surprised, as we know they are, that it came from the Libatard Reid?!?
Amazing!!! Joy got this one right!!!
Should be called Anti Joy
She’s anti Muslim, anti Semitic, anti Gay, anti Anglo and definitely anti American
Hey Omar……..!
Go back to somalia, with your First, & Second Husband……
Your day….will come…..
OMG!!! That is hilalrius!!Why are they still here, anyway.
Vote TRUMP 2020,
Don’t you just love how leftists turn on each other so quickly?
Something makes them think they can run an entire country, but they can’t even stand each other. So, how are they supposed to hold a society together?
I would laugh at them, but, they’re so sad and tragic, I can’t find humor in it.
crybabies I’m a Trumpster and I dont need no apology… I just consider the source of where it comes from
Because there are no radical Muslims on the planet, just like the protests were mostly peaceful here. I am glad I don’t know what it is to live in the world and the mind of a “woke” liberal, every day must be a horrific drudgery.
Well Reid was right about MUSLIMS radicalizing the young people. But wrong about Trump doing it. WHO is burning down Portland, Seattle, NYC and Chicago???
That would be leftist extremists BLM and ANTIFA, who are supported by the FORD FOUNDATION. Yep,the FordFoundation with all those Obama Administration ex-officials.in charge.
These liberal jackasses would eat their young…they don’t have respect for anyone including themselves…
Talib, Sarsourpuss, Omar (ship her sorry azz back to Somalia) and their muslim followers are upset with Reid. Ok. But, who cares?
Make America HAPPY again, get RID of the “squad of squids”, PERIOD!
