Joy Reid, host of MSNBC's “The Readout,” on Wednesday compared former President Donald Trump to Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, and even compared people who voted for Trump to Hitler supporters. is.
What are the details?
On Monday night, during the Iowa caucuses, Reid, who slurred his support for Trump as “white Christians,” featured a segment on his show titled “Trump's Revenge and Revenge Agenda.”
It begins with Reade criticizing Trump's “revenge politics,” with Trump telling a campaign crowd, “At the end of the day, they're not coming after me, they're coming after you. I'm just getting in their way,” he said in a clip. , I am here, I stand before them, and I will always be… I am your warrior, I am your righteous, and the wronged and betrayed. For those who have, I am your retribution, I am yours, retribution…”
Reid then returned to the screen and said, “This time it's a revenge tour. … We talk about Trump all the time, but we also have to talk about his voters. And I know, I knows it's not popular in America.” As Tom Nichols writes in the Atlantic, these particular voters also want revenge on their fellow citizens, even as the media world seeks to derespect the great American electorate. “Republican voters are actively buying into President Trump's complaints. They are emulating his narrow-mindedness,” Nichols wrote. ”
With that, she struck up a conversation with her guest, Jelani Cobb, dean of Columbia University's School of Journalism, in which Reid appeared to quickly compare Trump to Hitler and those who voted for him to Hitler's supporters.
“I want to talk about the role of the media in all of this,” Reed told Cobb.
“I remember in the 1930s when the New York Times ran an article about Adolf Hitler and people said, 'Oh, he's going to be restrained once he becomes president and the actual power is in his hands.' I feel like it's happening again because people don't want to attack voters, but voters are actively saying, “Yes, we want a dictatorship.'' “Yes, we want him to be a dictator. Yes, we like dictatorships.” And it just hasn't been investigated yet. ”
