"Reid would later slam Morgan for ambushing her in the interview and suggesting he was race-baiting for his “very white audience.” Pot, meet kettle."
"Piers Morgan and former MSNBC personality Joy Reid got into a tense exchange when the former accused her of playing "the race card" and pointed out she was likely fired from her job for being boring.
"And, as evidence that we are living in Bizarro World right now, Reid fired back by claiming any suggestion that she is a race-baiter is, in itself, race-baiting.
"The heated back-and-forth kicked off when Morgan played recent clips of Reid saying she got canned by MSNBC for saying Americans care more about the plight of Ukrainians than Palestinians because of their skin color, and later claiming President Trump doesn't like her because she's a black woman.
" 'Joy, I mean, let’s be honest. I don’t think you were fired after all those years because of your skin color or because you’re a black woman. I think you were fired because your show just got increasingly unpopular," Morgan said. "Why play the race card?"
" 'I love the fact that your ‘play the race card’ is your version of the race card. You literally are so fixated on trying to racialize conversations with me, Piers, I find it actually quite charming ..." Reid fired back.
"Morgan interjected, "You racialized more conversations in your tenure at MSNBC than any host in history."
"The fireworks were something to behold.". . .
Reid, of course, was unceremoniously fired by MSNBC back in February when, to Piers' point, the recent election results made it clear that people were tired of the race-baiting and false accusations that every time a liberal is criticized, it's because the critic is racist.
Reid's show, “The ReidOut," had been a staple of insanity on the network for five years, which worked well in the era of Biden's presidency, but wasn't going to translate once the adults were back in the room.
