MSNBC host Joy Reid, known for her far-left commentary, has joined the exodus of progressives leaving the social media platform X following President Trump’s recent victory.

While the account for her MSNBC program, The ReidOut, remains active, Reid’s personal account has been deactivated. In a video statement, she shared her rationale for departing the platform, aligning with a growing trend among leftist figures distancing themselves from X.

“Today I finally did something I’ve been meaning to do for a while,” she said in the clip posted to TikTok. “The reason for doing it, and kissing goodbye [to] my 1.9 million followers, is because I haven’t been posting for a long time. I just didn’t want to be contributing content once it was purchased by its present owner.”

“Every so often, I would use it to just look at news that was trending and what’s happening and I would just use it as an aggregator, but I just realized that’s not really worth it,” she added. “Because in order to do the news aggregation and just look at all, you have to wade through a lot of dreck and just abuse and a lot of negativity, and it’s just not worth it.”

Many others on the left have also left X in recent days.
