MSNBC host Joy Reid melted down on air on Tuesday evening, desperately insisting that Vice President Kamala Harris had a “historic” and “flawlessly” run campaign.
While covering the election results that were clearly moving toward a victory for President Donald Trump, Joy Reid was slowly melting down — while at the same time insisting that Harris somehow ran a perfect campaign.
“I think it’s important to say, anyone who has experienced or been in the United States for any period of time and experienced this country’s history and knows it, cannot have believed it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color,” she said. “Let’s just be clear. And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run, is not true now.”
Reid went on to double down on her insane claims, adding: “I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had … Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed her. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice. She had the Taylor Swift, she had the Swifties, she had the Bey-hive. You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time. And I think that’s still true.”
Of course, Reid’s claim that Harris ran her campaign “flawlessly” is objectively false for a myriad of reasons, including the fact that the vast majority of Harris’ campaign was focused on attacking her opponent while avoiding talking about her own policy plans. Harris also flip-flopped on numerous issues, even going so far as to steal policies from Trump, which included a vow to build the border wall. A candidate who failed so terribly at marketing herself was clearly not running a flawless campaign.

Social media users were quick to mock Reid, with one user comparing her comments to a football coach saying: “We lost the Superbowl but we played a flawless game!”
That’s fucking hilarious.

“It was so flawless, Harris never mentioned a single policy position, never answered any serious questions seriously, and never actually spoke honestly to the American people,” another user quipped, adding: “She deserved to lose.”

Another user pointed out that Democrats like Joy Reid will never learn from their mistakes if they continue to insist that everything they do is “flawless.”
“Good lord. They’ll just double down. No self reflection at all. No, thoughts like maybe calling voters deplorable, garbage, fascists isn’t a great idea? Or maybe telling Christians they were at the wrong rally, but being okay with men in the wrong bathroom isn’t a winning message? I mean please continue down the same path cause it’s the losing one and I’m okay with your side losing,” they wrote.
