Joy Reid Responds To Trump’s Attacks By Listing All The Impeachable Offenses He Has Committed


Donald Trump kicked off his morning by attacking award-winning MSNBC host Joy Reid, and she responded on her program by listing the impeachable offenses he has committed since taking office.

From the obstruction of justice evidence in Robert Mueller’s report to Trump using the presidency to enrich himself and his family, Reid said there is no shortage of impeachable offenses for Democrats to choose from if they move forward on a formal impeachment inquiry.

“Democrats who already favor impeachment have a grab bag of potentially impeachment offenses to choose from,” Reid said. “Time is running out, and the drumbeat of impeachment in Nancy Pelosi’s divided caucus is getting louder.”




Reid said:

Democrats who already favor impeachment have a grab bag of potentially impeachment offenses to choose from. There’s the obstruction of justice that was laid out clearly in the Mueller report, trump’s pattern of self-enrichment using the office of the presidency, his status as the unindicted co-conspirator in the hush-money payments to Stormy Daniels, which are part of the reason his former lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen sits in prison to this day. The Trump administration defying congressional subpoenas, his dangling of pardons, and his racist language, like those that experts have said help incite white nationalist violence, and also the “Go back” comments he tweeted at four freshman Democrats who are all U.S. Citizens, remarks listed by Texas congressman Al green, an impeachment supporter, as grounds for impeaching Trump. We are now 415 days away from the 2020 election, meaning there are now 415 days left for Democrats to act on impeachment, rather than relying on the possibility that Trump will be removed from office by losing the election. Time is running out, and the drumbeat of impeachment in Nancy Pelosi’s divided caucus is getting louder.


Trump definitely watches MSNBC

On a related note, I just watched MSNBC's "Up" with David Gura, who had as a guest Jamil Smith, author of a column in "Rolling Stone" blasting Biden's debate comments on the culture of racism and calling them disqualifying.

Gura at no time defended Biden but simply conducted an interview, just as Joy did yesterday.

I've been checking DU for anti-Gura hate posts like the dozens posted against Joy, but so far just crickets.

...was to suggest that Black parents don't know how to parent. Of all the ways to address that very important question, that was his response. He sounded just like a Republican.

But DU is filled with outrage over Reid interviewing someone who pointed out how horrific Biden's response was.

To say that's sad would be a mighty understatement. Shame on those posters.

He had the guts to report that single source about who co-signed for Trump's loans.
