‘We Are A Country Founded On Violence’: Joy Reid Goes On A Hyper-Privileged Rant

Joy Reid feels kind of like the last man standing if you look at all the changes happening with inciteful media hacks like Reid. CNN’s Don Lemon was demoted to a shared daytime show. MSNBC’s Tiffany Cross is employed and threatening to sue, but here’s Reid—A soon-to-be relic still churning out the madness.

While friends and families across the country came together to give thanks, Reid was blasting America claiming that ‘we are a country founded on violence’.

The MSNBC host began the segment by acknowledging the traditions of the holiday, noting that it is “the day we gather with friends and family to enjoy turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. We throw on the game, catch up on our lives and the discuss, or quite possibly argue, about religion and politics.”

“For millions of Americans, it’s a day of cherished traditions. And as Americans, we certainly value those traditions,” Reid continued. “But its also important to unpack the myth of Thanksgiving. It is a holiday riddled with historical inaccuracies.”

Reid went on to state that the origin story of Thanksgiving is “built on this myth that the indigenous welcomed their colonizers with open arms and ears of corn. A simplistic fairy-tale interpretation of a 1621 encounter between indigenous tribes and English settlers that erases the genocide that followed.”

The historical truth behind the events that led up to the establishment of the early Thanksgiving traditions are stories that Reid says Republicans want “banned” from textbooks.

“Because here is the secret they want so desperately to keep. We are a country founded on violence,” she concluded.

Watch

The reality that liberals nuts, like Reid, like to ignore is that every country has some form of violence in its history. The modern-day Thanksgiving was established by President Abraham Lincoln in his attempts to heal a divided nation following a civil war.
