Former MSNBC host Joy Reid broke down in tears Monday after the left-wing network canceled her primetime program, “The ReidOut.”
Reid, a known race-obsessed anchor who spewed far-left talking points, received word that her 7 p.m. show will be taken off the air and replaced with rotating anchors in the coming weeks. An emotional Reid addressed her firing with tears streaming down her face as she claimed that her program had “value” on MSNBC.
“I’m sorry,” Reid began while visibly sobbing. “That what I was doing had value. And in the end, I’m sorry, I try not to cry on TV and this is kinda like me on TV, so I apologize … what I will just say is, where I land is that the moment of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or dad that was killed or when we opened up people’s eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted, not just black folks, [or when we] went hard for immigrants who did nothing but come to this country like my parents did and try to make a life and defended them. Or whether we talked about what [President Donald Trump] is doing that is subversive to the Constitution, that is injurious to our liberty.”

Reid further said she is “not sorry” for all of the inflammatory statements she made on television over the years and is “proud” of her now-former show. She defended her stances on The 1619 Project, a book by Nikole Hannah-Jones arguing that America was founded on slavery, and her support for Gaza.
“We as the American people have a right to object to little babies being bombed and where I come down on that is I’m not sorry, I am not sorry that I stood up for those things because those things are of God and you know, I’m a church girl too and those are the things that I was taught were of God,” Reid continued. “And so, I’m not sorry, I’m just proud of my show.”
The now-former MSNBC host has made many attacks against conservatives and white people while she was live on-air. On Nov. 5, she lashed out at white women for largely backing President Donald Trump over former Vice President Kamala Harris.
“In the end, if they didn’t make their numbers and essentially exceed the numbers that Joe Biden had in the suburbs, I think we have to be blunt about why. Black voters came through for Kamala Harris, white women voters did not,” Reid said.
The embattled TV host labeled Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as “super white” and compared him to a “mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white” in August while discussing Harris’ running mate.
Reid further argued during an April 2022 segment that Elon Musk wanted a return to apartheid because he supported free speech on social media platforms. In reality, Musk attended anti-apartheid protests and concerts as a child growing up in South Africa in the 1980’s, according to an excerpt from Walter Isaacson’s book, “Elon Musk.”
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, Reid said that Americans had never heard of the word “inflation” until Republicans made the term a political tool.
