Joy Reid compares opposing trans medical procedures to ‘Nazi Germany’

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid has boldly linked people opposing transgender medical procedures to Nazi Germany. During an episode of ‘The Reid Out’, the host argued Republicans “exploited” concerns by minors who identify as transgender during the election. The left-leaning anchor then cited Nazi Germany and the opponents of trans medical procedures sharing the same hatred. “Targeting trans people isn’t new. It is an age-old tradition which Nazi Germany did with brutally violent ends in the 1930s. While the Supreme Court refuses to do anything about weapons of war in schools, today they seemed inclined to uphold Tennessee’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors,” she said. Reid’s comments received backlash online, with social media users slamming the host’s comparison. “MSNBC seems to want to run their ratings into the ground. That is the only explanation for why they keep putting Joy Reid in front of a camera,” wrote one user.
