MSNBC apparently doesn’t hold their prime time hosts to any level of responsible rhetoric whatsoever, because Joy Reid is spewing absolute garbage in her attacks on both Texas and Mississippi because they chose to fully reopen their states:
This kind of rhetoric is EVIL.
Joy Reid asserts to the delight of Kavita Patel and Jason Johnson that red states only care about black people and minorities if they "get their behinds into the factory and make me my steaks, make me my stuff." Otherwise, they can starve and die. pic.twitter.com/2ZLgbfu3Xz

In case the video doesn’t work for you, here is what passes for commentary on MSNBC:
There is a term called necropolitics which is essentially the politics of who gets to live and who gets to die. And these states, what they have in common is that they have structures which say that black and brown lives matter less. So all that matters is that the black and brown people get their behinds into the factory and make me my steaks, make me my stuff, get there and do my nails – work, get back to work now and do the things that I, the comfortable, affluent person need. Isn’t that what we’re seeing here? That’s what it feels like to me, necropolitics in states like Texas.
All of that is incredibly offensive! To suggest that governors Abbot, Reeves and the people around them don’t care if black and brown people live or die as long as they get their stuff is preposterous! And it’s evil, as Curtis Houck suggests.
Is anyone over at MSNBC actually watching Reid’s show?
This is how she characterized the winter storm that hit Texas, claiming Abbott “left millions of Texans in the cold” because of his derelict handling of the powergrid and infrastructure in Texas. She’s blaming it all on him and then adds Abbott is now telling people “congratulations, go get COVID.”
If you're on the right, it's safe to say MSNBC doesn't even consider you to be a real human being capable of good. Here was Joy Reid saying @GregAbbott_TX "left millions of Texans in the cold" b/c they "don't need light and heat" and has instructed them to "go get COVID." pic.twitter.com/cmGYPAC6JN

Reid has no business being on TV at all and MSNBC should absolutely fire her tomorrow. She’s despicable.
