Former MSNBC host Joy Reid is continuing her campaign of hate against Turning Point USA President Erika Kirk.
Kirk swiped at Reid during her opening statements at TPUSA’s AmericaFest 2025, joking that the podcaster could use a “really good hug” where she would touch the back of her head, which was a reference to a disparaging comment made by Reid about Kirk’s hug with Vice President JD Vance.
Watch:
🚨 BOOM! ERIKA KIRK: Joy Reid probably needs a really, really good hug, and honestly, I’m here for it if she needs it. I’ve got a good hug for you. I will even touch the back of you head!

During her remarks on Friday, Reid maintained that the gesture was “very intimate” and mocked Kirk “in her saucy hot pants.”

“The last thing I will say to Erika Kirk is this: Dear young lady, I don’t need a hug from you. First of all, I would never let you get close enough to hug me ’cause I don’t trust you. And second of all, I don’t know if anybody ever told you – you’re pretty young – but don’t be offering to touch black women’s hair. We don’t allow it. This is not the 19-teens. It’s not the 1920s or the 1930s. You cannot come up to me, touch me, or touch my hair. It won’t go. I don’t allow it. So, don’t offer to do that because that’s not going to happen,” Reid said.
She also maintained her horrible position that the vice president would leave his wife, Usha Vance, to be with Kirk.
“MAGA is the one doing the racism. Not me. All I’m saying is the ultimate MAGA fairytale would be for JD to leave Usha Vance alone and go run off with Charlie Kirk’s widow. It brings like the houses of MAGA together,” she babbled.
X users had plenty to say about Reid’s behavior:
Hands down, Reid is nothing more than a filthy racist.

Joy Reid is one sick individual

Joy Reid is a is everything she accuses conservatives of being and more. Racist, check. Bigoted, check. Dishonest, check. Hate filled, check. Delusional, check. It is projection in it’s simplest form. https://t.co/k2Eujb33JC

If there were any question about Joy Reid being a repugnant racist, her latest comments about Erica Kirk should settle any doubts. She’s haughty, condescending and clearly hateful. The quintessential poster child for the American Democratic movement. pic.twitter.com/CwBDNEeeM8
