Joy Reid fires back with blistering precision after JD Vance’s unsolicited “advice” sparks outrage among Black women.NH

It all started during a conversation with author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Reid got candid about what her parents experienced as immigrants from the Congo and Guyana. She told Coates that when her parents migrated, they got a “rude awakening” about the racism Black people face in the U.S. Reid was simply minding her business when Vance shared his two cents when no one had asked him.

On Thursday (Oct. 2), Vance said the journalist should be a lot more grateful for the life she’s built in the states. “Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It’s been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her,” the vice president began on X. “She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt.

A Newsweek article reported Reid made $3 million each year while hosting her show “The ReidOut” on MSNBC, which was canceled in February. But while Reid was certainly making more money than most, she later revealed she was only paid a tenth of what her white co-workers pocketed, we told you back in August.

Vance went on to give her some advice. “My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you’d be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude,” he said. Reid didn’t seem to appreciate his comments, and during an interview with Tommy Christopher on Substack, the journalist went off.

“JD Vance, since you’re paying attention to me, f*ck you,” Reid said. “And I say that on behalf of every Black woman who heard you call Kamala Devi Harris ‘the trash,’” she continued, referring to the vice president’s 2024 words about his predecessor.

The journalist went on, adding, “There’s nothing you could ever say that I would take as advice, friendly or otherwise.” Reid is a known critic of President Donald Trump and his administration. “I don’t need advice from you,” Reid further told Vance. “You need to learn how to be a decent human being and you need to apologize to Kamala Harris for what you said. So let’s start with that.”

But wait… there’s more.

Reid didn’t hold back with the insults aimed at Vance. She even called him a “racist a–hole” who believes “Black people are given opportunity by white people,” according to the journalist. She added that her mother, a PhD holding college professor, “earned her opportunity to be a professor” and didn’t need a white person to give her anything, Reid proclaimed.

The vice president has not responded to Reid’s nasty read. But the journalist doesn’t seem to be hiding from any smoke. She joins folks like Don Lemon, who were fired from their jobs as political hosts but have since paved their own way in Black media.
