MSNBC’s Joy Reid blasted Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) in a viral video invoking illegal immigration and slavery while asking why the United States needs more children.
“The United States has a population of north of 327 million people, why do we need more kids?” Reid asked. “Your party, Sen. Tuberville, is the one screaming that 10 million immigrants — I don’t even know if that number makes any sense cause it doesn’t — have streamed into the country since Joe Biden has been president.”
Republicans are decrying that if the southern border is overrun with illegal immigrants, there will be no more space, and the situation will become unaffordable, according to Reid.
“Now you’re saying, ‘We need more kids,’ can you explain who’s the ‘we,’ and what’s the purpose?” Reid said. “You’re also a senator from the state of Alabama, God help the people there.”
“Are you saying that the state of Alabama needs more kids? Why does the state of Alabama need more kids? More kids for what?”
The MSNBC host then invoked slavery in an attempt to bolster her argument.
“There was a time when the state of Alabama absolutely needed more kids because, you know, Alabama was a slave state, and the mandate of the planter class in Alabama was for black women to produce more kids because those kids were property, and they could work more kids and make more money on their plantations,” according to Reid.
“Are you saying the state of Alabama needs more kids because you think that those populations will include people who are maybe destitute and desperate enough if you kick out the immigrants, like a lot of y’all want to do, and you can make them do the work that the migrants are doing now?”

After accusing Tuberville of appearing to want to bring back a black slave class, Reid attacked the senator for his race.
“You’re also a white guy, are you saying the ‘we’ is white folks need more kids,” she said. “Is this like a great replacement thing, where you’re concerned that there’s not enough white people in the population versus the growth of the Latino population, the black population, and the Asian American population, and, so, the ‘we’ is white people?”
