By The FirstDuring a Monday’s episode of MSNBC’s The ReidOut, host Joy Reid went off on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for his recently signed election integrity law. Reid says it will “intimidate” Black Floridians “out of being able to vote.”
From Fox News:
DeSantis signed a bill Monday to create a police force to crack down on voter fraud and strengthen election integrity.
Reid’s Monday night segment featured her latest spiel against the GOP, which she claimed is embracing “authoritarian socialism.” She also blasted “Christian conservatives” for “waging a full-on jihad with those who disagree with their anti-gay, anti-trans, ant immigrant views.”
At the intersection of these groups is Gov. DeSantis. “Look no further than the free state, for some, of Florida where Ron DeSantis has waged a hypocritical war on Disney — freaking Disney. Why? Because they dare to push back on his hideous don’t say gay law,” she claimed.
“Buckle up, buttercup, because today, Baby MAGA signed a bill that allows him to create his own private police force that is tasked with pursuing alleged election law violations,” Reid said.
“Just lovely, the big lie will now have its own battalion of goons. I wonder who they will go after first. I think you can guess,” the host added.
Reid then brought on Florida Democrat gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist.
“He’s trying to out-Trump Trump and doing these kinds of things,” said Crist. “He signed into law recently the most anti-abortion bill in Florida history. He’s gone after LGBTQ kids. I mean, African-Americans who want the right to vote openly and freely in the sunshine state, that’s been made more difficult by legislation that he has signed.”
The ReidOut is reportedly set to be canceled this summer due to low ratings.
