Joy Reid: "Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home." [View all]

MAGAts flipping out over this. I love it.

"For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad.

And a black woman is doing the same exact thing in Georgia. And a black woman forced you to pay a $175 million dollar fine.

Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home."
