MSNBC anchors mock Virginia voters over immigration concerns: ‘Does have a border with West Virginia’

MSNBC anchors Jen Psaki, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow mocked GOP primary voters in Virginia live on air for considering immigration their top concern.

The presenters at the liberal-leaning news network took jabs at voters while discussing the results of early exit polls on Super Tuesday.

“I live in Virginia. Immigration was the No. 1 issue,” Psaki said, drawing laughter from Reid.

“Well, Virginia does have a border with West Virginia, a — very contested area,” Maddow sarcastically chimed in, setting off more chortles from her co-hosts. 

Later in the discussion, Reid broadly painted Republicans as racists who vote against their own economic interests out of bigotry.

“They don’t vote based on economics, or based on the benefits they’re getting economically from the president,” she argued. “They are voting on race; they are voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border, the idea that they can’t get the job they want.”
