Byron Donalds slams Joy Reid for saying he is being used as 'fake proof' that MAGA has black supports

Florida Rep. Byron Donalds slammed MSNBC host Joy Reid for saying that he was being used by the GOP as "fake proof" that MAGA has black supporters. The Republican congressman highlighted the "diverse" crowd that today's right has gathered together in support of Donald Trump, and accused Reid of reducing political discourse to the days where one's race mattered more than their ideas.

In an interview with Fox News' Shannon Bream, Donalds called Reid's comments "nothing more than crabs in a barrel," employing a metaphor typically used to describe those who hurt others in their community in order to benefit themselves in some way. "Just because I have a different viewpoint, different way of looking at the world, different politics, all of a sudden I'm being used?" He continued. "You can make an argument that MSNBC is using her, but I'ma move on."
 

Byron Donalds reacts to Joy Reid calling him “the one black guy that Republicans love to roll out”:

“We’re looking at expanding the political map, not shrinking it based upon race or anything else.”
