Jason Whitlock Disses MSNBC's Joy Reid For Dissing Nicki Minaj

Reid, Whitlock, Minaj, Maddow

Conservative columnist Jason Whitlock called Joy Reid a 'phony' and a 'sell out' who supports whatever 'the left tells her to be down with,' whether she believes it or not, following the MSNBC host's social media spat with Nicki Minaj, reports the Daily Mail.

Whitlock, a conservative sports and social commentator, doubled down on the hot take, claiming Reid would spit on her own mother if fellow MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told her to, after Reid was called out by Nicki Minaj over an anti-vax tweet. 

'She’s phony,' Whitlock said of Reid during a recent episode of his 'Fearless' podcast per Fox News.

'If Rachel Maddow … said you got to go spit on your mama to prove you’re down with us, Joy Reid would go spit on her mama.'  

'These people don’t stand for nothing … go look at the old stuff she wrote on her blog about what she really thinks and then go compare it to what she says on MSNBC. Then go look at the paycheck they gave her to say that stuff she don’t believe.'

The 'old stuff on her blog' Whitlock referred to was a series of homophobic and anti-Semitic comments from 2018 that Reid initially claimed were a result of being hacked, before ultimately admitting that she was likely not hacked while maintaining she didn't recall making said comments, Mediaite reported at the time.

Whitlock's comments come just days after Monday's episode of 'The Reid Out,' where Reid called out Minaj, who has nearly 23 million followers on social media, for encouraging her fans to not get the COVID-19 vaccine after claiming it had given her brother swollen testicles. 

That claim has been debunked by Dr. Fauci.
