Happy King Day to The Joy Reid Show fam, and thanks for tuning in! Many thanks to our MLK Day rainbow coalition: Don Lemon (who weighed in on the DOJ threats against him for doing journalism in Minneapolis) … Rev. Mark Thompson (who laid out what King Day really means) … Gyasi Ross (who reminded MAGA what the real “great replacement” was) … Emilia Gonzalez Avalos of Unidos Minnesota (who emerged as a veritable preacher of the Good Word of intersectionality and multiracial democracy) … Jolly Good Ginger (who spoke passionately about what it was like to grow up with the hate inside the right wing church and to free himself from it) … Pramila Jayapal (who reminded us that there didn’t used to be an ICE) … and Steve Schmidt of The Warning with Steve Schmidt (who spoke passionately about the historic figures like King, Medgar Evers, the Tuskegee Airmen, Goodman, Schwerner and Chaney, who came before Renee Nicolle Good.) And of course, many thanks to Dr. Bernice A King, for sharing her memories and legacy of her parents with us.
