MSNBC host Joy Reid is being slammed over a tweet claiming that Republicans would trade tax cuts for the ability to use racial slurs.
‘I’ll say it again: people on the right would trade all the tax cuts for the ability to openly say the n-word like in ‘the good old days,’” the MSNBC host tweeted. “To them, not being able to be openly racist and discriminatory without consequence is oppression. Trump is the avatar for this ‘freedom.’”

Several conservatives immediately criticized Reid for her comment, and some of them brought up controversial comments from her past in which she used language many deemed homophobic.

“Joy Reid of MSNBC: I suggest you watched Hannity,” attorney Leo Terrell tweeted. “I called you out as a racist. I also suggest you apologize to every Republican in this country. Finally I suggest you look in the mirror and apologize for your homophobic comments.”

“Joy Reid published an anti-gay blog and when she was caught, rather than taking ownership, said her computer was hacked,” author Ryan Girdusky tweeted. “That’s the type of person she is.”
