Apparently, Joy Reid was unable to sufficiently rehabilitate Wajahat Ali after his guest called Hakeem Jeffries a 'monkey' and an 'errand boy'. He's moved onto another show in hopes of redeeming himself.
Wajahat Ali is definitely not beating these anti-Black allegations by using a Black woman to call Hakeem Jeffries “an errand boy”. pic.twitter.com/ScrQFaUQfC

So Wajahat showed fake contrition with Joy then turned around and found a different Black woman to attack Hakeem. He ain't slick. https://t.co/eZEQjBSa8i

Sounds like cowardly behavior. That tracks.
What I tell you about these Black familiars?

They love that pat on the head. https://t.co/S23grZOCbV
He really tried it, he went to find a Black person to double down on the dog whistles

Incredibly ignorant.. https://t.co/6mFxApk81m
Another example of Wajahat being a creep.
My god this is vile https://t.co/gW82yXBr2K

Lmfao calling him an errand boy in solidarity with racists attacking him and calling him slurs doesn’t mean you’ll get picked girl ?? You can criticize him without dog whistles. https://t.co/MeMSdXnSTc

There is plenty wrong with Hakeem Jeffries. Why can't Wajahat manage to point those things out without the nasty language? Strange.
@WajahatAli is now having Black people on his show to repeat the anti-Black slurs to normalize them & whitewash what him & his guest said that he had no problem with. The logical conclusion is that he’s proud to be racist toward Black people. https://t.co/2ENASAUayy

He was never sorry for what was said. He was just sorry he was being criticized.
It breaks my heart that there are Black people intentionally going on this tour to create this permission structure for Black people to be called some of the most harmful slurs from our history. https://t.co/1IDFKI4LPr

Kissing up to Wajahat is never worth it.
Oh wow! @WajahatAli showed fake contrition with @Joyannreid then turned around and found a different guest to attack Hakeem with racist tropes.

This time using “boy.”
Pathetic. https://t.co/Gt0U1t8Vzt
Seems kind of racist, actually.
I sense a pattern from @WajahatAli. He allows others, women to be his mouthpiece, just like @rulajebreal. pic.twitter.com/rHeFnxJBuy

He's the lowest of the low.
