MSNBC's Joy Reid compares Gov. Ron DeSantis to a segregationist after his warning for would-be looters

As rescue, power restoration and cleanup efforts in many parts of Florida continue in the wake of the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, Gov. Ron DeSantis had some warnings for would-be looters and lawbreakers:

When it comes to MSNBC’s Joy Reid, everybody knows that DeSantis could have said “two plus two equals four” and she’d have been able to find a racist angle out of it. But Reid’s reaction to DeSantis’ warning to would-be looters says more about her than anything else:

“When the looting starts, the shooting starts.”—segregationist Miami sheriff Walter E. Headley, 1967

Didn’t take DeSantis long to return to form.https://t.co/8FJKyzQY1G https://t.co/uS5jbrx29S

“Supporting looters to own DeSantis” is the peakest of peak MSNBC takes!

Joy Reid, apparently pro-looting! https://t.co/RCkLcnnJdI

I believe there is a law in most areas against stealing. We should uphold the law. Sorry your against that. https://t.co/pCHHxztumv

Also it seems like Reid’s the one making an assumption:

Just when I thought you couldn't get any lower. Are you implying that black and brown people are looters, cause that sounds pretty racist to me. https://t.co/SRb0Owztqn

The self-owns just keep on coming from Reid… as usual.
