MSNBC’s Joy Reid Finds a Way to Racialize Jan 6.
Posted On 10 Jan 2022
As she watched rioters break into the U.S. Capitol last January 6, MSNBC host Joy Reid has revealed her greatest worry was that the mob would vandalize the Black History Museum, because the protests were “deeply rooted in anti-blackness.”
“I can remember every moment of that day, really, and thinking to myself, ‘My God I hope that these marauding masses of MAGA supporters don’t find the Black History Museum and ransack it.’ That was the first thing that struck me as I saw them, you know, heading toward the Capitol and starting to bash their way in,” said Reid on the anniversary of the disturbance. “For some reason that was the thing that stuck in my head.” She also said a picture of a man holding a Confederate flag inside the U.S. Capitol “disgusts me more than any of the other images” of the January 6 riots.
Reid proceeded to racialize the actions of a mostly white mob trying to prevent mostly white legislators from certifying the election of one white, male, septuagenarian in place of another.
Reid noted the riot took place “the same day that Georgia elected the state’s first black senator and first Jewish senator. The attack on our Capitol was also an attack on those victories, an outright refusal of having to accept the will and the votes of black and brown Americans.” In reality, the Georgia runoff elections took place on January 5; state officials certified the results on January 19; and the rioters did not mention the election of Senators Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff (D) as their rationale.
“The events of January 6th were certainly anti-democratic, but they were also deeply rooted in anti-blackness,” Reid asserted. She said the rioters brandished a “particularly gruesome symbol of anti-black terrorism” by using a noose to threaten white Vice President Mike Pence. “They wanted to lynch him, because he refused to reverse an election that black and brown people and people of color, [Asian-American and Pacific Islander] people, had … won,” she said without evidence.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) seconded her assessment. “Joy, I think it’s really important that we not whitewash what spurred and perpetuated this Big Lie, ultimately resulting in this insurrection, and that is white supremacy,” she said on “The ReidOut.” Pressley went on to describe January 6 as “a white supremacist, violent mob backlash to historic, record voter turnout that was driven by record numbers of black and brown voters. … It is important that we not have selective amnesia about that.”
Later that evening, CNN’s Don Lemon echoed similar talking points. “Can you imagine if [the rioters] weren’t white, what would have happened?” he asked:
We cannot forget all the racist hate on display on January 6th. I mean, there was a noose displayed on gallows outside of the Capitol. Rioters were waving Confederate flags inside the halls of Congress.
“How significant is the role of white supremacy in playing out in this threat to our democracy?” Lemon asked his guest, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. The former Obama official claimed that “the majority” of January 6 rioters “come from counties where there are declining white populations,” and so they had fallen for “the great replacement theory.”
The rioters of January 6 apparently acted in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris over President Donald Trump and Vice President Pence. No authority has cited racial animus as a motivating factor.

She didn’t have to dig deep when we have video of MAGA maggots screaming “ kill the nugget with his own gun!” While trying to beat a black policeman to death. She is correct.
Bs lib is that all you got. Are you frustrated because your hero Biden is failing. TOO BAD. LOL.
So show us the video or shut the hell up !
Joy, no different than your kind vandalizing, looting and killing people in Chicago. We see it everyday. People don’t have a problem with black people they have a problem with the low life criminal n—–s that are destroying our country. Thanks to those ixiots supporting BLM and Antifa those are more gutter trash! Get over yourself! I can’t believe MSNBC still has no couth or ethics. They still keep your butt employed rather than canning you. Any other person inany other corporation would have been fired long ago if they acted like you do.
You are proving her point. This is the kind of racist bullshit nonsense & lies white supremacists & insurrectionists spout all the time. The kind of pathetic
traitors American patriots have been fighting against for many years. We fight for civil rights, human rights, democracy and the rule of law. We condemn all rioting, looting, destruction and killing. By the way, where & when did BLM and Antifa commit insurrection and try to overthrow the government?
Maybe we should be calling racism by another name, like “MINORITYISM” Because most of the racism comes from the BLM followers and their henchmen of the Antifa crime family.
What point exactly do you think they are proving of Reid’s as she spews her vile racist bullsh*t everyday. People can’t state the obvious and truth without being called a racist but she can say whatever racist crap she wants all the time. You yourself are a racist lib with your “white supremacist” BS, I’m sure your a “white privilege” lib too. You’re easily led by the Washington democrat politician’s buzz phrases. You are also an idiot, exactly what did we see every day last year with blm and antifa burning down police stations, court houses etc. that wasn’t insurrection to you on a local government level. Please stfu with your nonsense, you prove to all of us what a complete and utter moron you really are.
This is the first time i have read something where what was said erroniosly was countermanded with the truth. Thank you for adhering to true journalism. Which allows truth and lies and let’s the reader judge.
