MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid Ripped for ‘Racist’ Take on DeSantis’s ‘Second Amendment State’ Warning to Looters

MSNBC anchor Joy Ann Reid was widely ripped on social media, with many deeming a tweet of hers both “racist” and “pro-looting,” after the left-wing national correspondent suggested a warning to potential looters by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) resembled the sentiment of racists during the segregation era. 

Reid likened DeSantis to a segregationist on Saturday, after quoting segregation-era Miami Police Chief Walter E. Headley, who, in 1967, stated, “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”

“Didn’t take DeSantis long to return to form,” Reid, 53, wrote.
