MSNBC has cut ties with Joy Reid in a shakeup, signaling a shift in the network’s programming as it struggles with declining ratings. Reid, known for her controversial commentary and divisive takes, was one of several hosts affected by the restructuring. The decision has ignited outrage among liberal media figures, with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow leading the charge in condemning the move.
“Yes, we stood outside the FBI headquarters to make a last plea against this — this terrible choice to be FBI director, Kash Patel. Kash Patel is the guy you go to when everybody else says, ‘No, I won’t do it. It’s too immoral, it’s too unethical, it’s too unlawful.’ He’s the guy. That’s why he was chosen. You rise to the level of your utter sycophancy in the Trump Administration,” Schiff claimed.
“But here’s the thing. I’ve worked with the FBI for decades, ever since I was a federal prosecutor. They’re the premier law enforcement agency. Only in Trump world, a world in which you pardon hundreds of people for beating police officers, and then you purge the FBI agents that pursued them, only in that kind of world does a Kash Patel become FBI director,” he continued, failing to mention that Biden issued a pre-emptive pardon to him on the former president’s way out the door.
