It looks like MSNBC’s Joy Ann Reid has touched a nerve. WikiLeaks responded to this tweet of hers with a threat to “monitor” her program:
Tomorrow on #AMJoy we'll explore the unprecedented affinity between an American presidential candidate – Trump – Russia and Wilileaks.

You are pushing a discredited conspiracy theory. There is no affinity, whatsoever. Our lawyers will monitor your program.

Reid doesn’t seem too worried, however:

And WikiLeaks’ threat isn’t going over too well with lefties in the media:
