In a recent episode of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," Piers Morgan launched a scathing critique of Joy Reid, a former MSNBC host, scrutinizing her claims regarding her dismissal from the network.
Reid, who has been known for her outspoken views on various social issues, suggested that her termination was racially motivated, a notion Morgan vehemently challenged.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, the segment took a dramatic turn when Morgan aired footage of Reid's emotional response to her show's cancellation. In the clip, Reid is seen tearfully asserting, "My show had valueAnd that," before breaking down.
She continued, "Im sorryWhat I was doing had value," while highlighting the progressive topics her show tackled. Reid's emotional display included references to her coverage of Black Lives Matter, discrimination against Asian Americans, and her criticism of President Donald Trump. She also defended her stance on the controversial 1619 Project, describing it as "the real founding of this country."
Reid further addressed the Israel-Hamas conflict, expressing her empathy for those she perceived as oppressed. "The American people have a right to object to little babies being bombed," she declared. "Im not sorry that I stood up for those things because those things are of God, and Im a church girl." Despite her emotional turmoil, Reid maintained, "So, Im not sorry. Im just proud of my show."
Morgan, however, was unrelenting in his critique. He confronted Reid with a pointed question: "Let's be honest. I don't think you were fired after all those years because of your skin color or because you're a Black woman. I think you were fired because your show just got increasingly unpopular. It happens all the time in TV that's why you got let go. Why play the race card?"
This provoked a fiery response from Reid, who retorted, "First of all, I love the fact that your play the race card is your version of the race card. You literally are so fixated on trying to racialize conversations with me, Piers. I find it actually quite charming." The exchange quickly escalated into a heated argument, with both parties raising their voices.
The confrontation between Morgan and Reid underscores the ongoing debate over race and media representation. While Reid attributes her dismissal to racial bias, Morgan argues that declining viewership was the primary factor.
