Joy Reid broke out the insulting terms about white people on a recent TikTok rant celebrating Kamala Harris picking Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Within seconds, Reid said this in otherwise positive language about Sen. Mark Kelly: “He, to me, would’ve been the safest, most conventionally safe pick,” Reid said on TikTok. “White, super white. Like, you know, mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder Bread white, from a border state.”
She goes on to say Josh Shapiro would have been the "riskiest pick," and gushes over Tim Walz, as in "Walz are closing in." But if a Fox News host said someone black was comparable to [insert food product here]? Career ender.
Joy Reid refers to Sen Mark Kelly as a “mayonnaise sandwhich” because he’s White.

As our intern Michael Wnek has chronicled, this tracks with Joy Reid from about a month ago, where she ripped into Charles Gasparino for writing in the New York Post about Kamala Harris being a DEI pick:
Exactly who are you, Charles Gasparino? Like, literally who are you? And what qualifies you to write an editorial about the presidency, even in the dollar-store New York Times, other than you being a white guy?...Now, go off and write about golf, or dancing off-beat, or whatever your actual skillset is, ‘cause you’re not qualified to discuss the vice president. She's doing her black job and has no time for you. I, however, did have time tonight. So, there you go.
Reid loves this kind of swaggering talk about Kamala Harris, and she laughed along as former CNN analyst Roland Martin mocked Erick Erickson as the "king of mayonnaise" who is "unseasoned chicken."
MARTIN: And Erick–and Erick, come on. Erick, you the king of mayonnaise, so please, let's not talk about seasoned chicken when you are unseasoned chicken.
REID: (Laughs).
MARTIN: Please. This sister grew up in the Bay area. She know black folks.
After the GOP convention, Reid took to her TikTok and said it would be to vote against Kamala if you were black, or even if you were associated with black culture. The New York Post reported:
“The door needs to close behind Amber [Rose], and she looked crazy over there. But shut the door behind her,” Reid said, reigniting her feud with Rose, whom she criticized after she spoke at the Republican National Convention last week. “She’s racially ambiguous. I don’t want to say she’s black because she has said she’s not, so I don’t want to say ‘this black woman,'” Reid said following Rose’s speech. “This woman who is of whatever race that she has claimed, she’s said she’s not black, but [the RNC] brought somebody whose whole career is based in black culture.”
