Baseless slander at its worst. If you watch the above clip make sure you read Noah Rothman’s piece, he does a great job destroying Joy-Ann Reid’s bogus claims.
Via Mediaite:
MSNBC contributor and editor of The Grio, Joy-Ann Reid, joined Chris Matthews on Monday for a postmortem discussion on the Conservative Political Action Conference. The MSNBC guests dug into an event at CPAC which focused on the affinity that opponents of the Republican Party have for insinuating, or directly stating in some cases, that conservative policy proscriptions are racially insensitive and Republican supporters are racially motivated. During that panel, one heckler stood up and broadcast his support for American black slavery. In the video, that heckler’s comments prompted audible gasps of shock from his fellow panel-goers. But, according to Reid, only one individual at that panel challenged the heckler and most panel-guests supported the heckler’s position. This is a grossly inaccurate account of what occurred, according to reports.
