On MSNBC’s “The Readout” on Monday, anchor Joy Reid said into a hot mic during footage of President Joe Biden, “Another terrible war has begun.”
“Republicans in Congress like to cling to the successful policies of President Biden and the Democrats and take credit for what they didn’t do for the American people because of Donald Trump,” Reid said. Tied to a pretzel to do anything, Congressional negotiators continue to work toward a bipartisan agreement linking border policy and funding to Ukraine over what they claim is a border crisis. President Biden said over the weekend that he is ready to take action if Congress is serious about solving the problem.”
On Saturday, Biden said in South Carolina, “If that bill became law today, I would close the border right now. Congress needs to get it done.”
“There’s another war,” Reid said off-camera.
At the end of the show, Reid apologized for the gaffe.
“Before we leave, I want to apologize right away. We were chatting while the clip was playing, and as you know, we try to keep this show more PG-13,” Reid said. I would like to apologize to those who were listening to my backstage chatter. I am truly sorry. As you know, this is PG-13.”
