Ilhan Omar And Rashida Tlaib Slam Joy Reid Over Alleged Islamophobic Remarks!

Barely a month on primetime and Joy Reid got controversy from some on the left. The far-right wants to see her gone already.
BLACK LIVES MATTER!

MSNBC agitator Joy Ann Reid has face heat before. On yesterday's The Reidout, the agitator had made remarks that some called Islamophobic and two members of the Squad call on her to formally apologize for the remarks.

On Tuesday's show, Reid suggested that Trump has radicalized his supporters in the same way that "Muslims act." It was 33 second clip posted by a leftist who posted the remarks.



It got Donald J. Trump's attention.



Now some of Reid's supporters and even a Newsweek's editor and chief Naveed Jamali, a Muslim himself came to the defense.





Last year, the agitator's blog The Reid Report was unearthed and it shared some offensive postings trashing Republicans, those in the LGBTQ community and then Florida governor Charlie Crist.

Reid was calling Crist a closeted gay man in her blog postings. Reid was under intense pressure to apologize and explain her actions. At first, she denied she made the posts but later clarified that she did make those remarks but only in trashing the hypocrisy of Republicans.

Nonetheless, a gay rights group canceled her appearance and took back an award she was supposed to get. She was taken off MSNBC for a few weeks and had her permanent guest host Jonathan Capehart, an openly gay Black progressive agitator fill-in while she was pulled.

She came back on the air to tearfully apologize to those who were offended by the remarks.

She would invite Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) on her show to formally apologize to him for the remarks.

Since then the controversy died down, Reid was promoted to hosting a primetime show called The ReidOut. She so far succeeded with the timespot.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) call for Joy Reid to apologize for Tuesday's segment on The ReidOut.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) survived primary challengers from the left and are constantly vilified for being women of color and Muslim. They are constantly tied to the extreme left by their support of failed Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

Omar, Tlaib and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) have endorsed Sanders over Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Joe Biden. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) supported Warren.

Omar, Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez and Pressley are called the Squad by the junk food media. They are freshman lawmakers who became a focus of ire from both the left and the right.

The two lawmakers called upon Reid to apologize.



They are the left's version of the Freedom Caucus. The Freedom Caucus is a bunch of do-nothing Republicans who gain novelty for shouting at the cameras and scoring cheap political talking points.

The Squad is starting to be similar to the Freedom Caucus in their novelty for scoring cheap political talking points.

Reid responded to the allegations.


The Reidout will next air on Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. She said that she will address the matter.

Jamali responded to the controversy over Reid’s remarks in Newsweek on Tuesday, asserting they were taken out of context. "I don't understand how people are rushing to judgement but not asking me," he told Newsweek. "We live in a country that is full of double standards, why is it not a fair question to ask why when it comes to extremism, we don't point out that there's a double standard between brown extremists and white extremists, in terms of how law enforcement approaches them?"

The other Muslim in the Congress is Indiana's Representative, Andre Carson. He is a Democrat who represents most of Indianapolis.
