Joy Reid Urges Liberals to Skip Thanksgiving Dinner with Trump Supporters – American Faith

MSNBC host Joy Reid used her platform on Wednesday to encourage liberals to avoid sharing Thanksgiving meals with supporters of President-elect Donald Trump. During her show, Reid Out, she launched into a scathing critique of Trump voters, framing them as adversaries of progressive values.

“So apparently the people who voted for the ‘I will protect women whether they like it or not,’ childless women should have no rights, Haitians had eaten your pets gang are the real victims, despite their guy winning the election,” Reid said.

Reid targeted Trump supporters’ stances on issues such as abortion, immigration, and tariffs, characterizing their political positions as oppressive and regressive. Mocking those who voted for Trump, she stated, “Make your own dinner, make your own sandwiches, wipe your tears, troll amongst yourself with Elon [Musk], and leave us alone.”

Her comments also referenced a controversial joke made by far-right podcast host Nick Fuentes about bodily autonomy, adding fuel to her argument against mingling with Trump supporters over the holiday.

Reid portrayed Trump supporters as seeking undue recognition from those who opposed his reelection. “If you expect the 73 million who voted for the prosecutor, not the felon … to give you a cookie for your vote, a trophy, a hug, a high-five, you might be asking too much,” she said.

Concluding her remarks, Reid emphasized the autonomy of those opting out of shared Thanksgiving dinners with political opponents: “Our Thanksgiving, our choice.”

This follows a previous episode where Reid advised her viewers to avoid pro-Trump relatives altogether. “If you think you can vote for what people see as their destruction and then demand they’re still cool with you … you’re kind of missing the point,” she said.

Reid’s comments underline ongoing cultural and political divides in post-election America, as families across the nation prepare for holiday gatherings amidst lingering tensions.
