Joy Reid Admits: Trump Ads Hitting Bernie's Socialism Would Be 'True'
By Mark Finkelstein | February 9, 2020 3:26 PM EST

Joy Reid vouching for the veracity of a Donald Trump attack ad? Yup, it actually happened today!

Reid seems supremely skeptical that socialist Bernie Sanders can beat President Trump. On her MSNBC show today, Reid told Sanders's campaign manager Faiz Shakir that the ads the Trump campaign would run against Sanders should he be the nominee would be "true" and "actual." She specifically mentioned video of Bernie praising Castro and "Russia" [sic, presumably meant the Soviet Union.]

Reid acknowledged that in his recent passionate condemnation of socialism, MSNBC's Chris Matthews "represents a lot of voters."

Reid also said that swing states like Florida would be off the table for Sanders, because "there are just some people who for whatever reason, whether they're right or wrong, are just not going to vote for a socialist. Period."
