While covering the election results that were clearly moving toward a victory for President Donald Trump, Joy Reid was slowly melting down — while at the same time insisting that Harris somehow ran a perfect campaign.
“I think it’s important to say, anyone who has experienced or been in the United States for any period of time and experienced this country’s history and knows it, cannot have believed it would be easy to elect a woman president, let alone a woman of color,” she said. “Let’s just be clear. And nothing that was true yesterday about how flawlessly this campaign was run, is not true now.”
Reid went on to double down on her insane claims, adding: “I mean, this really was an historic, flawlessly run campaign. She had … Queen Latifah never endorses anyone. She came out and endorsed her. You know, I mean, she had every prominent celebrity voice. She had the Taylor Swift, she had the Swifties, she had the Bey-hive. You could not have run a better campaign in that short period of time. And I think that’s still true.”
Of course, Reid’s claim that Harris ran her campaign “flawlessly” is objectively false for a myriad of reasons, including the fact that the vast majority of Harris’ campaign was focused on attacking her opponent while avoiding talking about her own policy plans. Harris also flip-flopped on numerous issues, even going so far as to steal policies from Trump, which included a vow to build the border wall. A candidate who failed so terribly at marketing herself was clearly not running a flawless campaign.
Social media users were quick to mock Reid, with one user comparing her comments to a football coach saying: “We lost the Superbowl but we played a flawless game!”
“It was so flawless, Harris never mentioned a single policy position, never answered any serious questions seriously, and never actually spoke honestly to the American people,” another user quipped, adding: “She deserved to lose.”
