MSNBC’s Joy Reid was heard on a hot mic dropping an f-bomb.
On Monday, Reid was discussing the ongoing fight over border policies in Washington, D.C.
“Over the weekend, President Biden said he’s willing to take action if Congress is serious about solving the border issue,” she said.
The host then played a clip of Biden saying, “If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border right now and I’d fix it quickly… And Congress needs to get it done.”
While the clip of the president was still on screen, Reid was heard saying, “Starting another f***ing war.”

Her mic was done cut off, but when the show cut back to her she appeared to be referring to former President Donald Trump’s attempts to kill a proposed border bill as she could be heard saying, “… still trying to kill the bill.”
It was not clear what war she was referring to.
However, it comes after three U.S. soldiers were killed in Jordan, and over 30 more were injured, after a drone attack on an outpost.
President Joe Biden has vowed the U.S. will “hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing.”
Today, I was briefed by members of my national security team in the Situation Room on the latest developments regarding the attack on U.S. service members in northeastern Jordan.

As I've said, we'll hold all those responsible to account at a time and in a manner of our choosing. pic.twitter.com/pLScFuXjk2
While it was unclear what Reid was referring to, her slip did not go unmentioned during her show.
“I was chatting during a clip that was playing and you know, we try to keep this show very PG-13, so I just want to apologize to anyone who was listening to my behind-the-scenes chatter,” Reid said later in the program.
