MSNBC’s Joy Reid: Republicans Are Solely Voting on ‘Racial Animus’ and ‘Invasion of Brown People Across the Border’

Republicans are voting solely on “racial animus,” according to MSNBC’s Joy Reid.

Reid was part of MSNBC’s Super Tuesday election night coverage and as primary wins were projected for Donald Trump, Reid argued that Democrats vote on economics, while Republicans vote on race, saying young voters and Black voters may hold President Joe Biden “to account” for the economy.

A recent New York Times/Siena College poll found Trump leading Biden in support among Hispanic voters, with 46% support compared to the president’s 40%. The poll also showed an uptick in Trump’s support among Black voters.

“Republican voters don’t vote that way,” she said.

The MSNBC host targeted concerns about the border crisis and DEI in schools to dismiss their motives for heading to the polls, chalking up both issues to “racial animus.”

“They don’t vote based on economics or based on the benefits they’re getting economically from the president. They are increasingly, from the Tea Party on, they’re voting on race; they’re voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border, the idea that they can’t get whatever job they want, a Black person got it, therefore drive all the blacks out of the colleges, get rid of DEI,” she said. “That is what they’re voting on. They’re just voting on racial animus at this stage.”

Winning most Super Tuesday polls, Trump remains the expected GOP nominee, and his sole Republican challenger, Nikki Haley, is dropping from the race.
