Joy Reid has unleashed a fiery response to JD Vance after the vice president told her to show ‘a little gratitude’ in a post to X.

‘JD Vance, since you’re focusing on me: Forget you!’ the former MSNBC host exclaimed during an interview with political analyst Tommy Christopher.

‘And I say that on behalf of every black woman who heard you call Kamala Devi Harris “the trash.”’

Earlier, Vance had shared a clip of a conversation Reid had with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates in March, where she discussed her mother’s emigration from Guyana in the 60s and expressed that ‘she found it was not a place of opportunity for individuals like us’.

An accompanying caption painted the progressive as ungrateful.

‘Like, f**k you, forever!’ Reid, 56, ranted in return on Christopher’s Substack. 

‘There’s nothing you could ever say that I would take as advice, friendly or otherwise,’ she further told Vance.

‘I don’t need your counsel. You should learn to be a better person and apologize to Kamala Harris for your remarks. Let’s begin with that,’ Reid vented.

The polarizing pundit had been referring to separate comments from Vance offered up on the campaign trail, that characterized Harris as ‘trash’. 

Reid raged: ‘But what happens is if you are black, you immediately come here and it isn’t long before you are treated the same way that America treats all of its black citizens, as second class citizens – as people who need to, quote unquote, be grateful for white people apparently giving them opportunity.’

She branded Vance ‘a racist a**hole’ for his remarks.

He wrote on Thursday: ‘Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It’s been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt.

‘My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you’d be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude.’    

‘You can’t accept that my mother, who became a PhD holding college professor, earned her opportunity to be a professor,’ Reid said in return.

‘You think that someone white gave her that opportunity or that she stole it from, or, you know, Charlie Kirk’s version is, she stole from somebody white.’

Reid and Kirk – who was assassinated last month at a college campus in Utah – notably sparred about affirmative action policies after the Supreme Court removed them from university admissions processes in 2023.

Hours before, Vance re-shared footage of a recent conversation Reid had with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates (seen here) where complained that when her mother arrived in the 60s, ‘she realized it is not a land of opportunity for people like us’. A caption painted the progressive as ungrateful

On MSNBC, Reid maintain she was qualified to attend Harvard but would have never made it into the Ivy League institution without such policies.   

Kirk, who was 31 when he was killed, claimed those who benefited did not rightfully earn their spot, singling out Reid and former first lady Michelle Obama as well.

Reid, 56, wrote about Vance’s comments on her own Substack as well, where he she has amassed more than 170,000 followers since she began writing in earnest following her February ouster from the network.

She joins a long list of journalists like Jim Acosta and Terry Moran to go independent after bitter breakups with their mainstream outlets.

Reid rankled MSNBC brass with her extreme online rants, and she was fired in late February by the network’s new boss.  

An insider at MSNBC told Politico that her controversial social media posts – including shamed Latino Republicans for voting for Trump and claiming the media’s preoccupation with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was motivated by the victims being ‘white and largely Christian’ ‘gave the Standards Department heartburn.’  

In January, Reid compared President Donald Trump to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Network bosses began plotting to get rid of Reid in late 2023 and ultimately offered her a one-year contract extension, while also cutting her pay in the hopes she’d take the hint and quit, sources also told Daily Mail.

When Reid was finally let go, her ratings were down from a high of 3 million viewers per episode in her first year on the air in 2020 to a low of 1.1 million.

While it’s unclear how many of her 168,000-plus followers shell out the $8 monthly subscription fee, even a small percentage of paying customers would potentially net Reid six figures per month. 

While her salary while at MSNBC remains unknown, Reid said in August that she was paid ‘a tenth’ of what her male counterparts did.

‘I worked in a business where I was paid a 10th of the salary of people who did literally my same job, the whole time I worked there,’ she said of the network, since renamed to MS NOW. 

‘We knew that any man that was doing what I was doing was going to make more than me. And that they were going to be able to negotiate higher salaries, even at lower ratings.’
