MSNBC’s Joy Reid once again proved how deep her hatred runs for her fellow Americans who share a different political opinion, especially on gun rights. During the opening segment on her show The ReidOut, she lashed out at Republicans and the National Rifle Association (NRA) and made the recklessly irresponsible claim that their “tolerance for slaughter [is] bottomless.”
Reid started off kvetching about the right to own an AR-15 and wailed that “you can't even hunt with an AR-15 because you'd have nothing to bring home and hang on your wall” as if the purpose of the Second Amendment was to enable Americans to go hunting instead of the real purpose which is self-defense against potential government tyranny. That’s not to mention that one can, in fact, go hunting with an AR variant.
She then proclaimed that she thinks she and her party have the right to politicize mass shootings: “please spare me the don't politicize this BS because these deaths, these record numbers of Americans slaughters [sic] are political.”
“They are happening because of uniquely American politics. They are happening because 327 million Americans are essentially hostages to a morally and financially bankrupt gun lobby and the heartless, gutless politicians that they buy and own,” Reid huffed.
Proving that she is the vilest person on cable news, Reid begged Americans to “please stop thinking that there is some body count, some level of brutality and carnage that will move them, these Republicans and their two pet Democrats, that the rivers of blood will one day run deep enough.”
She added that “their tolerance for blood and the NRA's tolerance for slaughter are bottomless.”
Later on, during her interview with radical anti-gun Parkland parent Fred Guttenberg, Reid doubled down on her dangerous rhetoric. Reid referred to conservatives as “ghouls” and smeared Texas Governor Greg Abbott claiming that “there is no amount of blood and carnage that's gonna move” him to support gun control.
This kind of irresponsible rhetoric is what could lead to another shooting against Republicans like what happened when a Bernie Sanders supporter and Rachel Maddow fan shot at Congressional Republicans in Alexandria Virginia during their baseball practice. Reid is breeding hatred of conservatives and it’s irresponsible.

7:06:03 p.m. EasternJOY REID: You can't even hunt with an AR-15 because you'd have nothing to bring home and hang on your wall and yet it is easier to buy one than it is to rent a car, something an 18-year-old can't even do, but that's what our kids risk facing every day, and, please, please spare me the 'don't politicize this death' BS. Because these deaths, these record numbers of Americans slaughters are political. They are happening because of uniquely American politics. They are happening because 327 million Americans are essentially hostages to a morally and financially bankrupt gun lobby and the heartless, gutless politicians that they buy and own. And please stop thinking that there is some body count, some level of brutality and carnage that will move them, these Republicans and their two pet Democrats, that the rivers of blood will one day run deep enough and the slaughters tragic enough that these politicians will say, 'Okay, that's enough. Let's do something.' Because their tolerance for blood and the NRA's tolerance for slaughter are bottomless. As is the grief and the torture that the parents of slaughtered children and slaughtered grandmas and shoppers and bible study parishioners, all the slaughtered Americans will feel every day for the rest of their lives. So honestly, to hell with anybody who says don't politicize this because these deaths, until we change until we stop letting this minority of ghouls rule us, this is who we are.

REID TO FRED GUTTENBERG: What scares me and I want to know if this is what scares you. Is that they are ghouls, they have no—there is no bottom -- there is no amount of blood and carnage that's gonna move Greg Abbott. That little pretend compassion he did today, you saw who they really were when Beto O'Rourke walked in the room. When they started snarling, like the Confederates. Right?
