Sounded racist to her ears.

President Trump’s State of the Union address has produced a treasure trove of pathetic reactions, but coming in with potentially the worst of the bunch is MSNBC’s Joy Reid. Somehow, she managed to pick up on the few words that nearly everyone can get onboard with and found a racist loophole. Leave it to a raging leftist!
Amazingly, Reid reacted in utter horror that Trump was speaking about the importance of family and church. He had the audacity to support the police, the military, and our national anthem. In her mind, these were “tropes” of a “bygone era.” That is, back to segregation where all of his supporters would be much happier, obviously:
Church ... family ... police ... military ... the national anthem ... Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU
She dissected each point further in subsequent tweets:
When Reid was challenged for her ridiculous take, she responded with a grade-school comeback:
But when Twitter user @vothelo excoriated Reid for lumping all Trump supporters in her own racist categories, she had nothing to say in return:
We’re not fascist. We’re not bots. We’re not uneducated. We’re not fascists...heck I was born in Mexico. We’re not pawns in your game that you can conveniently label. Our opinions matter. Your disdain for us is exactly why your bias doesn’t allow you to hear the other side.
Everyone wanted to know: why all the hate, Joy?
Since when are things like Church & family "bygone" era? You liberals are some sick ungodly anti-family (husband & wife) individuals.
In which @JoyAnnReid thinks that 1950’s post war America that had just defeated Nazism & believe in Church, family, police, military, & our National Anthem is bad. Brokaw called this “The greatest generation.” The generation that also ushered in the Civil Rights movement!
