Ann Coulter gives brutal takedown of Joy Reid
Share and Follow

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter issued a brutal takedown of fired MSNBC host Joy Reid by using the ousted anchor’s own reaction against her.

Coulter posted a video from Real Time with Bill Maher’s Overtime around June 2015, where she and the former host of The ReidOut, who is 56 years old, were part of a panel.

During the discussion in the clip, Maher asked the panelists which Republican candidate they believed had the best chance of winning the general election. Coulter responded by saying, ‘Of the declared ones, right now, Donald Trump.’

The prediction shocked audience members, and when the camera panned to Reid, she could be seen blinking twice with her mouth agape at the notion.

On Monday, Coulter humorously commented, ‘Now that Joy Reid is seeking new employment, I should consider hiring her to shadow me constantly, day and night, reacting with wide-eyed amazement to every prediction I make, all of which will inevitably come true.’

Reid’s show was canceled amid tanking ratings – a decision leaked early Sunday and confirmed by her bosses just hours later.

Network executives said the cancelation was part of a larger effort to restructure its programming.

Reid’s 7 p.m. ET time slot will now be replaced by a panel show co-hosted by Symone Sanders Townsend, Alicia Menendez and Michael Steele.

Katie Phang, Jonathan Capehart and Ayman Mohyeldin have also reportedly been given the boot from their current timeslots, the New York Post reported.

Fellow NBCU asset NBC News further confirmed Monday that Lester Holt was also leaving his iconic Nightly News gig.

New MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler insisted to members of the ReidOut staff on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s second term was not a factor in the network’s decision to cancel the show.

She instead claimed the network’s changes were made based on ‘data analysis and programming strategy’ that she believes will ‘best position MNSBC for the year ahead.’ 

But Status News reported that Reid’s constant progressive, anti-Trump rants unsettled MSNBC bosses who are seeking to foster a less biased-sounding liberal news network during the second Trump administration. 

Her commitment to promoting ultra progressive causes ‘offered an easy target to attack MSNBC’s editorial stances’ as the network tries to overhaul its programming and recover from bad ratings, Status reported.

Comcast executive Mark Lazarus is said to want to change the perception that ‘Republicans cannot get a fair shake from the network’ by moving to a more ‘palatable progressivism.’

Meanwhile, the writing was reportedly on the wall for Reid as early as last year, when her five year contract with MSNBC ended and she was only offered a one year extension. 

Her three decade broadcasting career has been marred by multiple controversies – with her downfall sparked in 2017 when homophobic posts she had penned about ex Florida governor Charlie Crist from 2007 to 2009, emerged.

In 2018, anti-gay remarks were found on her old blog from posts in 2006, which she blamed on hackers at the time.

Other 2006 blog posts then came to light, including one that stated ‘current iterations of Islam are largely incompatible with Western notions of free speech and expression, and thus, I’d say, with the Bushian dream of Western style democracy for all.’

In 2020 she angered many by comparing radicalized supporters of President Trump to ‘the way Muslims act’ – causing Trump to call for her firing.

Following Donald Trump’s assassination attempt last summer, Reid was slammed for taking to X and sharing conspiracies, including that he may not have even been shot at all.

The liberal pundit then wept as she broke her silence about her termination.

‘I’ve been through every emotion… anger, rage, disappointment, hurt… guilt. You know, [ a feeling] that I let my team lose their jobs,’ Reid said during a Zoom conversation with the Win With Black Women podcast. 

‘But in the end, where I really land… is just gratitude. Just pure gratitude and gratitude. Not just because people would take the time to get on a call like this or to take care of me. But also that my show had value.’

Reid broke down as she explained that she’s not sorry for having gone ‘hard on so many’ progressive issues like Black Lives Matter or immigrant rights on her primetime slot.

‘Whether it’s talking about any of these issues and, yes, whether it’s talking about Gaza and the fact that we as the American people have a right to object, to have a right to object to little babies being bombed,’ Reid went on.

‘And and where I come down on that is I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those those things because those things are of God.’
