MSNBC’s Joy Reid is once again conjuring up imaginary phantoms, this time by likening Republican ads featuring the contentious issue of transgenderism to what the Nazis did.
By far the most vile of the stable of racists, cranks, and conspiracy theorists at the troubled left-wing network, the host took issue with the trans-themed ads that ran during the election season, singling out a very effective one that was run by the Trump campaign contrasting him with Kamala Harris.
“America’s dealing with many issues, from grocery prices to gun violence, which is the number one cause of death for kids and teens, but the one issue that Republicans successfully exploited in this year’s elections was their fear of the transgender community,” Reid said during Wednesday’s edition of her show. “Republicans spent at least, get this, $215 million on anti-trans TV ads with the most prominent coming from the Trump campaign itself.”

After airing a clip of the Trump ad that advised voters “Kamala is for they/them, President Trump is for you,” Reid tried to make her case that Republicans are resorting to tactics from the Third Reich to unfairly target transgender kids.
“Trump’s argument was that Vice President Kamala Harris is fighting for they/them while he’s fighting for you,” she said, citing an independent LGBTQ journalist who “tracked Trump campaign spending and found that they spent, okay, more money on anti-trans ads than they did on housing, immigration, and economy ads combined.”
“For context, in the 50 states, transgender adult Americans make up .5, not 5, .5 percent of the population, or 1.3 million Americans out of, like, 320 million. There are a little over 300,000 transgender youths in America,” Reid continued. “That’s 1.4 percent of all young people between ages 13 and 17. That would be the numerical equivalent of the Republican Party targeting the entire city of Phoenix, Arizona, population 1.65 million because they don’t like the desert landscape.”
The “race lady” then whipped out the Nazi card, “In fact, there are more kids who have been exposed to gun violence, estimated at 3 million, than there are transgender Americans of all ages in total. Targeting trans people isn’t new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s.”
“While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors,” she concluded, referring to current arguments before the nation’s highest court on the practice of sex change surgery for kids.
Democrats, MSNBC, and other media outlets all spent months falsely insisting that Trump was the second coming of Hitler but Americans saw right through their lies which had much in common with those concocted by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels. And they’re still not giving up on crying “Nazi!” to their gullible, dwindling audience.
The network is facing uncertain times after it was recently announced that parent Comcast would be spinning it off from under the NBC umbrella, potentially costing MSNBC its brand and perhaps a major shakeup as some have speculated.
