It’s almost a shame that no one under 55 watches Joy Reid’s show, because on Wednesday night she finally had on as a guest anti-critical-race-theory crusader Christopher Rufo, and she almost let him get a word in. And we don’t know why liberals consider it such an own to quote his own tweets, aside from the fact that conservatives aren’t supposed to fight back.

Joy Reid and @realchrisrufo discuss Critical Race Theory on her show.
Chris tries to answer her question about “whiteness” and does admirably until interrupted for 10th time. pic.twitter.com/zT0uVp9U6c

Rufo’s takeaway?
Joy Reid thinks Critical Race Theory is harder to find than Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) June 24, 2021
Probably easier to find then the people who hacked her

This is about the level of discourse I was expecting to come from her.

A leering overweening grin is not an argument.
— Culpability Jones (@ShineboxHukster) June 24, 2021
she took this interview VERY personally. It’s almost like there’s no critical race theory anywhere in america unless you’re in law school! that was true in 1993, but it’s a cancerous weed in soo many fields in 2021.

That’s such a lame argument. We’re not talking about teaching primary school kids critical race theory — we’re talking about teachers being compelled to attend training on critical race theory and anti-racism and white fragility so they can let it inform their teaching and keep them from “spirit-murdering” black students.
One of the most telling parts was when you were about to give actual examples of CRT in schools, & she panicked & had to cut you off. They're terrified of people starting to understand what all of this means in practice.

Joy Reid spent more airtime quoting Ibram Kendi than she gave Chris Rufo. That wasn't a debate, it was a monologue. As she said, "It's my show, that's the way I like to do it."
On the plus side, when she showed all your tweets on air it got your message across.

I was so frustrated with her condescension and continuous interruptions. Clearly she did not have responses to your substantive points so it was her only approach and it was calculated.

Well if she was a real journalist that knew how to perform her duties…

She's absolutely pathetic. Keep up the great work!

Terrible interview. Reid should be ashamed, but clearly she’s shameless.

It's not a debate if you engage in a monologue and then interrupt your opponent the minute they open their mouths. Joy is a coward and a fraud.
— Ryan (@AssumeTheEnd) June 24, 2021
Joy Reid gets to define what racism and what Critical Race Theory mean. It’s her world and we just have to accept it or die.
— Politically Atheist (@boardride23) June 24, 2021
The panic in her voice 😂 and that fake laugh.
— Jay Deks (@DeksJay) June 24, 2021
They say CRT is not being taught in schools, so why worry about it being banned?
— Rich Lemond (@RichLeMond) June 24, 2021
Then why is she insisting that banning it from school would be an irreversible damage?
— pensiero/azione (@AzionePensiero) June 24, 2021
That was hard to watch. The smirk while calling you a liar was so bad. Doesn't even hide her racism
— Joseph (@Hockeyjunkie88) June 24, 2021
The next logical thought Joy Reid expresses will be her first.
— Scout’s Papa (@JamesRagano) June 24, 2021
Joy Reid is nuts.

So it shouldn’t bother her that sane people want to ban it then, correct? 🙄
— Hum Spot (@humspot1) June 24, 2021
They think if you can't "find" CRT, you can't fight it. They're wrong.
— Local Neanderthal (@patrickishmael) June 24, 2021
Last month she was calling people who reject it racist. Now she says it doesn’t exist.
— Bon Jakalous (@BonJakalous) June 24, 2021
We are in the "that's not real CRT" phase of the defense.
— Marcus Manlius Capitolinus (@wayninja1) June 24, 2021
Real CRT has never been tried.
