MSNBC’s Joy Reid Declares ‘DEI’ Prosecutors Are Targeting Trump and She Loves It: ‘Wonderfully Poetic’
MSNBC’s Joy Reid called it “wonderfully poetic” that Black officials are prosecuting Donald Trump.
Reid referred to DEI, which stands for diversity, equality, and inclusion, when celebrating Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg being the first to prosecute Trump. The former president is currently on trial facing more than 30 counts stemming from a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair. Bragg is charging Trump with falsifying business records. Trump has denied this and the affair.
“For me, there is something wonderfully poetic about the fact that … the first person to criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a black Harvard grad,” Reid said on Monday about Bragg.
She then included Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia. Trump is facing election racketeering charges in that state related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
Reid declared that her “DEIs are bringing it home” thanks to the prosecutors being Black and claimed Trump is being held to account by a “multicultural, multiracial democracy” he’s trying to “dismantle.”
DEI has become a hot topic for debate and states like Florida have taken steps to eliminate DEI-related policies from college campuses. The Supreme Court also effectively ended affirmative action policies in college with their 2023 ruling finding that considering race in an admissions process violates the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
“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,” Reid said. “Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle and for me there’s something poetic and actually wonderful about that. It says something good about our country that we’re still capable of having that happen. Go DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home.”
