Piers Morgan has never been one to shy away from uncomfortable truths, and this week he brought the full heat on Piers Morgan Uncensored, taking a blowtorch to former MSNBC host Joy Reid and the sad spectacle of her teary farewell tour. Reid, whose show was quietly axed by the left-wing echo chamber at MSNBC, decided to lean into the usual excuse for failure on the progressive left — racism.
Yes, according to Reid, she was fired not because of tanking ratings or a cringeworthy history of divisive commentary, but because she’s black. That’s it. No introspection, no humility, just race-baiting with a side of sanctimony. “My show had value,” she sobbed in a video posted online, breaking down in tears and accepting a tissue from an assistant like it was an Oscar ceremony gone wrong. “What I was doing had value,” she insisted, as if promoting the 1619 Project and defending Hamas were some kind of journalistic service to the country.
Reid ran through her greatest hits during the meltdown: defending illegal immigration, playing up Black Lives Matter hysteria, attacking law enforcement, and of course, hurling nonstop vitriol at President Trump. But somehow, despite checking every box on the progressive virtue-signaling checklist, her show still got canned. That should tell you something.
Then she claimed she wasn’t sorry for her coverage of the Israel-Hamas war — where, let’s be honest, she seemed more sympathetic to the terrorists than the victims. “The American people have a right to object to little babies being bombed,” she said. Funny how that compassion never seems to apply to Israeli babies.
Piers wasn’t having any of it. “Let’s be honest,” he said. “I don’t think you were fired after all those years because of your skin color… I think you were fired because your show just got increasingly unpopular. That’s why you got let go. Why play the race card?”
Boom. Instant meltdown.
Reid fired back, claiming Morgan was trying to “racialize” the conversation — which is hilarious considering that’s her career in a nutshell. The exchange quickly devolved into a shouting match, with Reid trying to talk over Morgan while insisting she was the real victim here.
At the end of the day, Piers said what everyone already knew: Joy Reid wasn’t let go for being black. She was let go for being boring, bitter, and out of touch with reality.
