MSNBC host Joy Reid has once again gone on a verbal rampage, accusing conservatives and the Republican Party of what she called “the most violent transfer of power in U.S. history.”
During Monday’s episode of The ReidOut, Reid focused her attention on former President Donald Trump and his supporters, as she sought to tie the events of January 6, 2021, to Trump’s return to the Oval Office, as Fox News reported.

“I hate to be the fly at the picnic table, but you can’t peacefully transfer power to an insurrectionist simply because it took them an extra four years to finish the job,” Reid claimed, showing no restraint in her accusations.

The left-leaning host, known for her hyperbolic rhetoric, played a dramatic montage of clips from the Capitol riots as she laid out her narrative. “This is January 6,” she declared.
“From that date forward, and pretending that this is no longer what today means is, to put it lightly, an insult to every cop that was injured that day, every terrified congressional staffer and member, every Capitol worker who had to clean up the feces the Trump mob smeared on the wall, and to every decent notion anyone ever had about this country.”
She doubled down, accusing Republicans of downplaying the events as nothing more than a “normal tourist occasion,” a claim sure to rile anyone who values facts over theatrics. “It was a big deal. It was an insurrection. The first violent sacking of our Capitol since the War of 1812,” she added.
Reid’s disdain didn’t stop at the GOP. She lashed out at conservative media and even voters, accusing them of enabling what she views as Trump’s unchecked rise.

“”Trump’s second impeachment was literally for the incitement of an insurrection, and the idea of forgetting that, as if moving on and pretending there’s no harm, no foul, and preparing to quietly reinstall the chief insurrectionist without comment, is frankly a shameful idea,” Reid said.
The MSNBC host then turned her ire to the Supreme Court, claiming its conservative justices had cleared the path for Trump’s return.
“The Supreme Court conservatives’ negation of the Constitution’s insurrection clause, so our shameless Chief Justice, John Roberts, could clear the way for his reelection. All of it is, sorry, utterly shameful,” Reid fumed.
Reid concluded her tirade with a lecture aimed at the American people. “Today is not a day to commemorate. Yes we got to do it, because that’s what some of y’all voted for, or failed to vote and cleared the way for, but for God’s sakes, let’s at least have the decency and dignity to be a little embarrassed.”
Joy Reid’s remarks, as expected, were riddled with her trademark melodrama and scorn for anyone who doesn’t align with her worldview. Conservatives will see this as another example of the media elite trying to rewrite history and smear the right while ignoring their own side’s missteps.
