Joy Reid tried to create a State of the Union sing-along that turned into a one-woman show.
Reid was live reacting to President Donald Trump’s address at the ‘People’s’ State of the Union, and decided to belt out some Al Green (not that one) but didn’t exactly get the reaction that she might have been hoping for.
Watch:(** Cringe warning)

They did not, in fact, “keep it goin’.”
But wait! Somehow, there’s more!

Sounds like one of those memes where they strip out all music to hear just the non auto-tuned lyrics

Is she calling out to Al Green the singer or Al Green the caveman who got tossed out of the SOTU?

This is a cringe idea, as if the SOTU is a superbowl halftime show.
In all fairness, though, just because the microphone is not picking up the crowd, does not necessarily mean they are not singing along.
But then again I’m not sure how many people know Al Green songs by heart.
