President Donald Trump shed no tears over MSNBC‘s decision to cancel Joy Reid‘s The Reidout on Sunday, marking the network’s latest shakeup.
The news of Reid’s show ending after five years was revealed Sunday. Sources cited by the New York Times said the show will air its final episode on Monday. Trump said in a post late Sunday evening that Brian Roberts, chairman of “Concast,” finally decided to fire “the mentally obnoxious racist” Reid.
“Lowlife Chairman of “Concast,” Brian Roberts, the owner of Ratings Challenged NBC and MSDNC, has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist, Joy Reid,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Based on her ratings, which were virtually non-existent, she should have been ‘canned’ long ago, along with everyone else who works there.”
Trump’s claim against Reid being an “obnoxious racist” could be in reference to her comments in 2021 that people in the United States have a “missing white woman syndrome” when the story of Gabby Petito going missing was viral. Reid also said in 2024 that “migrant crime is negligible” when discussing Laken Riley, a 22-year-old college student who was killed by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela.
MSNBC host Alex Wagner is also no longer going to serve as a substitute host for The Rachel Maddow Show, which Trump argued is “seriously failing.”
Trump also knocked Maddow and Al Sharpton, saying neither of their shows are particularly popular with cable television viewers. He then argued that MSNBC is merely “an illegal arm of the Democrat Party” and that the network ought to pay financially for the “damage” it has done to the U.S., as “fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!”
SLUMPING LIBERAL MEDIA FIGURES SHOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS OFF
Reid’s 7 p.m. ET show is set to be replaced by a new one with three hosts, including Alicia Menendez, the daughter of former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), who was just sentenced to 11 years in prison on corruption and bribery charges; former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele; and network host Symone Sanders-Townsend, a former adviser to former Vice President Kamala Harris.
The cancellation came as MSNBC’s parent company, Comcast, announced in November that the network and other NBCUniversal cable channels would be spun off to other ownership. Since then, Andrea Mitchell announced that she would no longer host her daily television news show, Andrea Mitchell Reports, which aired its final episode earlier this month.
