MSNBC host Joy Reid said Monday during President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration that it was difficult to watch as “a vile spirit of greed and corruption takes over America.”
“The promise of the next administration is to erase the memory of the citizens of Washington and to purge and fire all the people who normally go into the next administration as civil servants,” Reid said. The promises on the table are 200 strange administrative actions, an attempt to strip people of their birthright citizenship, and an attempt to carry out mass deportations. ”
She went on to say, “We have committed people convicted of insurrection, attempts, insurrectionists, being present with people who incited a coup, taking the oath of office as president, essentially delaying convictions. “We're talking about an attempt by those who suffered to portray this peaceful transition of power.” Upon completion of the rebellion, the institutions will maintain this idea. We just found out what they were electing, and that person wasn't elected because of what they said, but in these words, what some people on the right remember about Martin Luther King Jr. It's the only thing. ”
Reid went on to say, “Marco Rubio is the best choice of them all. When you look at the list of people, it's no longer about their personalities or their great meritocracy content. Now that President Trump is on TV… It's the people that he likes to see compliment him, give him what he wants, and do what he does to the American people and to the immigrants that Jesus loved. It is the people who forgive, who are already vulnerable. This is supposed to be a great Christian president who is promising to attack immigrants and transgender people. These are some of the executive orders. Brutality is the point of the incoming administration. So with the vile ideas of greed and corruption. It's very difficult for me to look at this picture of America being taken over and say that the system is going to save us, because they haven't done us any good.”
