If the left didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid has been attacking singer Nicki Minaj for questioning the vaccine. Reid is also insanely attacking the GOP claiming they love COVID.
This is how Joy Reid opened her show tonight — more rhetoric that will get conservatives hurt: "A message to Republicans: Okay, we get it! Covid is the precious & you love it. You love Covid so much you want it to spread…You want it pumping through your veins." pic.twitter.com/xOUkoZWfVZ

She’s stark raving bonkers and one has to ask why she still has a show.
But this is part of the same insanity that we saw with CNN’s Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo who said that people who were unvaccinated were “stupid” and should be “shamed.”
But Reid, when President Donald Trump was in office, was attacking any potential vaccine for political reasons, because she claimed Trump could not be trusted. Yet now, she’s trying to justify her own prior anti-vaccine comments.
Joy Reid again defends her belief that it was NECESSARY to be anti-vaxxer when Trump was in office: "I was hesitant. When Donald Trump was out there controlling the CDC & controlling the FDA & manipulating them & making them put out falsehoods, anybody rational was hesitant." pic.twitter.com/dBFT8lTvWw

“Listen, I was hesitant. When Donald Trump was out there controlling the CDC and controlling the FDA and manipulating them and making them put out falsehoods, anybody rational was hesitant.” In other words, she was opposing it not for any rational reasons, but because she politically disagreed with Trump. Plus, that was just a lie. Trump wasn’t making the CDC or the FDA put out any falsehoods.
She wasn’t just hesitant, as Drew Holden observes, she was downright attacking anything they would come up with.
But her tin-hatted criticisms really took off in the middle of September 2020.
Here she is on the 17th, asking rhetorically “who on God’s earth would trust a vaccine approved by the @US_FDA ??”
That’s more than enough to get you kicked off Twitter these days. pic.twitter.com/3ep6WiMLvW

@JoyAnnReid doubled down on her conspiracy the next day, September 18th.
“Why would any sensible person take a vaccine Trump had anything to do with?” she wonders.
This is textbook vaccine disinformation. The same kind she now laments.
How can she not see the hypocrisy? pic.twitter.com/Jol0oAzKuy

Even after her guy won the election, she continued to insist that the vaccines couldn’t be trusted.
“I wouldn’t go near anything they Trump or his politicized FDA had anything to do with” she said, while criticizing the government program that helped develop lifesaving vaccines. pic.twitter.com/sv99uhLp9N

Reid did it, not for any legitimate concerns, but just because it wasn’t her guy in the office. Indeed, as we see, since the vaccine was developed under Trump, and now suddenly, she’s for it, because her guy is now in office. But it was developed under Trump. So what happened to her prior objections? You can’t get more political than that. How is that about the science? It doesn’t even make logical sense. It’s literally the same vaccine. It’s just “acceptable” now because Biden is now in office. So now if she’s decrying hesitancy, maybe she should check the mirror for her own role in creating it?
Oh, so it was a RATIONAL to be an anti-vaxxer last December. https://t.co/x2ZHAghPKL

She’s aware the entire bureaucracy is still in place, right? Like … the very same people in CDC and FDA. https://t.co/ArSxBP97C8

Facts don’t matter to someone who is that politically craven.
"'Science' isn't valid when the government is controlled by people you don't like" is pretty much how Democrats operate. It's not just COVID, it's climate change, abortion, you name it. https://t.co/rEKKFTfaKR
