White House Blasts Joy Reid's Remarks, Citing Her 2025 MSNBC Cancellation

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 13

Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman, said Joy Reid's takes were "too dumb even for MSDNC," using her 2025 MSNBC cancellation to dismiss her latest comments.
The rebuke followed an episode of "The Joy Reid Show" in which Reid and Wajahat Ali attacked Trump and conservatives as "weak White conservative men" and argued America rewards mediocre White men over women and minorities.
Reid said Trump was unqualified to be president and mocked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth as a pick based on being a White man Trump found attractive.
Ali and Reid also accused the administration of purging women and people of color in favor of unqualified loyalists, extending their criticism from rhetoric about meritocracy to Trump's staffing choices.
Reid left MSNBC, now rebranded as MS NOW, in February 2025 after "The ReidOut" was canceled and has since continued political commentary through online and independent media projects.
