Joy Reid scolds Fox News for using this word to describe border 'internment' camps, gets reality checked

There’s a word in this tweet that triggered MSNBC’s Joy Reid:

Military making plans to provide shelter for thousands of illegal immigrants https://t.co/dYGz4FakOJ

Did you guess which word caused offense?

“Shelter…” a benign way of describing the planned detention camps/internment. https://t.co/DFvmf43jfW

— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) June 23, 2018

“Shelter” just doesn’t have the impact of “internment camps.”

Shelter suggests you have the right to leave.

Exactly.

The Left would rather just have open borders to let everybody flood into the country, and they’ve made that abundantly clear these last couple of weeks. Wake-up call for Reid:

You realize nobody gets detained if they come here legally, yes? https://t.co/lzIhJj4dAt

Great point! But we doubt that Reid realizes that or would ever admit it.

Reid should be careful because that word game could backfire:

Planned parenthood, a benign way of equating abortion to childcare.

“Bigot” a benign way of describing your behavior towards gay people. https://t.co/RHf0svVnbh

We’ll give Reid a break though, because she’s been very busy fending off time-traveling hackers.
