Joy Reid argued Friday that Republicans are the modern day Nazi Party, Chinese and Soviet Communist Parties, and the Pol Pot regime b/c they're engaging in "book burning and banning," adding "the great parent revolt is bankrolled" by conservatives "controlling the puppet strings"

Joy Reid argues the Republican Party is the side that's wholly responsible for "attacks on Asian-Americans and Jewish people" and whenever Americans don't have "safe roads and clean drinking water" thanks to "selling white grievance and rage" and "demoniz[ing] China"

Joy Reid on parents speaking up at school board meetings against books that include things like graphic sexual content: "[D]o they care that they’re...enraging [their electorate] in ways that become dangerous and drive people toward anti-social behavior, even violent behavior?"

Kurt Bardella of the Trump-obsessed MSNBC claims the GOP won't "talk about why the quality of life isn’t going up" b/c, anytime people realize "taxes are too high" & they lack lack "clean water," it's the GOP's fault & the media need to say it more explicitly

Kurt Bardella: "What colors all of their rhetoric, what colors all of their opposition to overwhelmingly popular policies is race & not including that context in their coverage of...infrastructure, Build Back Better, filibuster, Supreme Court, voting rights...is a disservice[.]"

Here's my full recap of what Reid and Bardella had to say from Friday's show. Check it out at @NewsBusters newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/curti…
