Joy Reid Takes Tucker Carlson's 'Race Lady' Dog Whistle, Throws It Back At 'Tuckums'
HuffPost
“Oh, honey, honey. Tuckums. Is this really about me fixating on race, or is it about you fixating on race?” the MSNBC anchor asked the Fox News personality.
MSNBC anchor Joy Reid minced no words Tuesday when she responded to Fox News personality Tucker Carlson’s repeated derogatory description of her as “the race lady.” “The ReidOut” host began by noting how she doesn’t often spend time watching the conservative network. “Personally, I prefer my news and information to be grounded in reality, rather than monetizing my amygdala to keep me on edge and buying MyPillows and gold,” she explained. Reid then proceeded to dismantle Carlson’s attacks on her, airing a montage of him accusing her of being obsessed with race. She also suggested his insistence on saying she attended Harvard alongside the “race lady” term was a dog whistle aimed at angering his audience.More Related News
