MSNBC anchor Joy Reid has proven to be a constant target for conservative media members, and her recent interview with Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) didn’t win her any favors with those pundits, including Sean Hannity.
Reid and Donalds sparred over nearly every topic during the 11-minute segment. Topics ranged from Reid questioning if the nomination of Donalds for Speaker of the House was a “diversity statement”, to Critical Race Theory, and whether or not Social Security was facing insolvency.
Reaction to the interview has been strong. Many critics are calling Reid “aggressive”, while others have called her “inept”, and “unwilling” to let Donalds “speak the truth”.
On Wednesday evening, Fox News host Sean Hannity blasted Reid for her stances and her interview with the Republican Congressman.
“Now, of course, Joy Reid has a history of these types of smear tactics,” Hannity said in comments transcribed by Mediaite. “Does NBC stand by this?”
According to recent ratings, Reid is the highest rated member of the MSNBC lineup, garnering anywhere from 1.0 to 1.3 million viewers.
