Megyn Kelly demands Joy Reid’s firing over “despicable” comments on white women and Trump
Megyn Kelly has strongly criticized MSNBC’s Joy Reid, suggesting that Reid’s controversial remarks could lead to her firing.
Speaking on The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly addressed Reid’s recent statements about President-elect Donald Trump’s alleged plans to deport minorities, calling Reid’s comments “despicable” and accusing her of inciting “racial uprising or rioting.” Reid claimed on her MSNBC show that legal residents might face deportation under Trump’s leadership, sparking backlash online.
Kelly took issue with Reid’s remarks that liberal white women should focus on their own communities rather than trying to involve Black women in marches against Trump, stating Reid’s approach promotes racial division. Social media users reacted swiftly, with some supporting Kelly’s criticism and others calling for Reid’s resignation from MSNBC. Reid’s Friday segment has since fueled widespread discussion, with multiple online comments questioning her role at MSNBC. The debate over Reid’s comments comes as Trump’s immigration policies continue to provoke strong responses from public figures across the political spectrum.
