Megyn Kelly thinks MSNBC will dump Joy Reid after saying that President-elect Donald Trump plans to deport minorities who have legal status in the country.
“She wants a race riot. That’s really what you take away listening to Joy Reid,” Kelly said on her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Monday.
“She actually does want some sort of rioting in the streets, some sort of race revolt.”
Kelly reacted to a clip of Reid from Friday evening, when she appeared on her nightly MSNBC show and predicted that Americans who are legally in the country could be deported by Trump after he takes office.
She also criticized Reid for saying on her TikTok channel that liberal white women should not bother inviting black women to protest marches against Trump because they’re “not coming” and instead prefer prioritizing their own communities rather than “save America.”
The Comcast-owned cable network “is allowing her to spew this racist hate on their channel,” Kelly said of Reid.
“It’s a tick-tock situation until her ass is fired,” Kelly said of Reid.
The Post has sought comment from MSNBC.
Reid on Friday said that Trump would take the “meat ax approach” and initiate a process of “de-naturalization” — or stripping Americans of their citizenship.
“Don’t think because you have a green card and came through the ‘right way’ — if you’re brown, you may not stick around,” Reid said on her Friday broadcast.
“I don’t think they care whether you have a green card or not. They’re pulling people out and taking people out of this country whether you like it or not.”
Reid stirred controversy on Thursday when she said that Latino men who voted for Trump would “own” his administration’s immigration policies.
Trump has pledged to deport millions of illegal immigrants during his second term in office, which he won in last Tuesday’s blowout election victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
The victory was made possible by a large number of minority voters who switched their allegiance from the Democrats to the Republicans during this current election cycle.
Exit polls showed a majority of Latino men back Trump.
During Thursday’s broadcast of Reid’s show, the MSNBC host also interviewed a Yale-affiliated psychiatrist who encouraged LGBTQ+ people whose family members voted for Trump to cut ties and shun their relatives over the upcoming holidays.
