'Are you REALLY this stupid?!' Joy Reid shares seriously one of the DUMBEST takes on Joe Manchin (and Rand Paul?) we've seen YET

Joy Reid really outdid herself this time.

And not in a good way.

This is so dumb we’re not entirely sure what she’s trying to imply … is she saying Joe Manchin and Rand Paul are taking money from the people in their states? We get that she’s really cranky with both of them, Manchin for stopping Biden’s nightmare of a bill and Paul for calling out Fauci over and over again, but this was dumb.

Even for her.

Anybody ever wonder: how can West Virginia and Kentucky have such powerful United States Senators repping them yet be so overwhelmingly poor? Somebody’s getting that money, and it ain’t ordinary West Virginians and Kentuckians… just a thought… pic.twitter.com/T7stjm1WY6

And she thought this was a dunk.

Define POOR, Joy.
Those people are richer in spirit than you'll ever be. They will drop everything to come to the aid of strangers.

Keep judging and let us know how it all works out in the end for you.

Joy really has a warped sense of poor and privilege.

Are you suggesting that a state’s political power in the Senate should equate to more money for its citizens? Are you really this dumb, or are you hoping your gullible base is?

Learn to embrace the power of ‘AND’.

Individuals often seem powerful to the herd.

Moderate senators wield a lot of power when the Senate is split.

Manchin told Senate Dems what needed to be in/out of that bill for him to get on board.

They completely ignored him. In a 50/50 Senate, ignoring him makes him extremely powerful.

Ding ding ding.

Tell me you don’t understand that 51>49 without telling me you don’t understand that 51>49.

MAFF IS HARD.

In the case of Kentucky, it’s probably because they were run by big government Democrats for about 100 of the last 120 years.
