New in PJ Media:
One of the reasons why the political divisions in the U.S. today are so wide and deep is because of the hysterical rhetoric coming from leftists who think calling President Donald Trump the new Hitler passes for incisive analysis of the contemporary scene. We have seen again and again that Trump has leftists in a state of eye-popping, screaming hysteria not because of anything he has really done, but because they believe that the monstrous caricature the left presents of him is actually real.
The latest example of this comes from deposed (and, of course, bitterly resentful) MSNBC host Joy Reid, who went on an extended rant Tuesday targeting Secretary of State Marco Rubio as well as Trump. It was an extension of her 2019 claim that Trump was the focus of a “racial and religious cult of personality” and that white evangelical Christians took Orange Man Bad to be the “chosen one of God,” but this time Reid zeroed in on Rubio and sailed far beyond her earlier charges and directly into straight-up lunatic territory.
The Daily Caller reported Thursday that Reid, in a conversation with military poseur Malcolm Nance, went ballistic on Rubio, saying: “Marco Rubio believes in nothing. He’s been a Catholic, he’s been a Mormon, he’s been an Evangelical — he’s whatever religion works for him in the moment. And he’s also whatever ideology works for him in the moment.” Leftists, you see, never change their minds or evolve in their thinking, because they believe that they have already grasped the pure, crystalline truth, and thus to deviate from the leftist line in any way would be to depart from the circle of the anointed and to return to the darkness of the unenlightened.
That’s the real cultish mindset, but Reid professed to find that mindset in Rubio’s intellectual odyssey and lack of hesitation to change his views when he saw that his previous position was wrong or inadequate. Reid complained: “He’s been a Bush-style Republican, he’s been a supposed Tea Partier, which is the opposite of a Bush-style Republican. He’s been for Ukraine, doesn’t give a crap about Ukraine. He’s been hard on Russia, he doesn’t care if Russia is dominating the Earth. He doesn’t believe in anything.” How Reid knows what Rubio really cares about and what he doesn’t, she didn’t bother to explain.
Rubio’s worst sin, of course, was that he changed his view of the focus of evil in the modern world, Donald J. Trump.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Corporate news programs are about two objectives, influence peddling and making money, not necessarily in that order.
Reid doesn’t realize that she is now merely entertainment to catch eyeballs; even her employers don’t take her seriously. It’s like AOC and Maxine Waters have a Vulcan mind-meld.

Why does anyone care what this idiot has to say about anything? She is a liar and vulgar and makes stupid claims about things of which she knows nothing.
Her whole thing is because she can’t be president. Imagine a creature named “Joy” who has none because she is bitter of soul and jealous of every other person. No need to imagine, because she’s still blabbering her nonsense. My guess: she wishes she could be a White man.
A person who never changes his mind about anything, even when clear and convincing evidence is provided, is arrogantly closed-minded. How this creature ever got a top job in television is a wonder, but it’s no wonder that she is now ‘out.’

Yes.
I’m surprised that Pres. Trump has not referred to her as “Joyless Reid”.

Thank you, James. Perhaps he’s been too busy.

Come on folks give this poor black woman a break. She’s only trying to make a living spreading bull manure across America. Thats a hard job and the pay is low.

All that bleach she uses on her hair has rotted what was left of her brain. I know, I’m not supposed to mock the afflicted, but really!
I’d refute her points but she doesn’t make point or arguments — just bitter name calling. Her personality is as short and brittle as her hair.
