Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Pathetic. Incredibly snide tweet from Joy Reid about Joe Biden & his supporters. [View all]highplainsdem
(49,004 posts)26. As I explained in the OP (and as you'll see if you click on her tweet), she'd been responding to a
tweet from Chris Hayes that wasn't about Biden, but was about impeachment and possible Democratic risk aversion to impeachment.
Joy threw in that swipe at Biden and his supporters as an example of Democratic risk aversion.
I don't know which candidate Joy likes best, either. I have had the impression from various remarks she's made that she's unhappy Biden is the frontrunner.
But I was shocked to see her contempt for Biden supporters.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Joy Reid keeps getting a pass on pretty much everything. I think she believes her own press.

If she was criticizing Biden on the ISSUES, that would be fair game, but let's not mince words.
