MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid has sparked fury by twisting the case of Kyle Rittenhouse into a race-hate crime - mocking him for his 'white tears' and likening him to Brett Kavanaugh for crying when faced with devastating accusations.
Reid was commenting on Wednesday on the Rittenhouse trial, as the jury concluded deliberations after a second day, reports The Daily Mail.
Rittenhouse, 18, who is white, shot and killed two white protesters and injured a third amid chaotic scenes in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020.
The unrest in the city was sparked by a white police officer shooting a black motorist, Jacob Blake, seven times in the back and leaving him paralyzed. On November 10 the teenager sobbed on the stand while he recounted the shooting. 'So, it's the Kyle Rittenhouse trial,' said Reid in a TikTok, accompanied by a soundtrack.
Conservative commentator Leo Terrell, who is black, accused Reid - who is also black - of racism. 'Joy Reid - something is wrong with her,' he said, speaking on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on Wednesday night.
'She is the queen of racism. She has a problem with white men. 'And her reference to two situations, where she said things from the 50s. What do you mean the 50s? This man, Kyle Rittenhouse, did not kill any black people so I don't know her reference to the 50s.
