Ex-MSNBC host Joy Reid just can’t stand black people who side with Republicans, and she’s back to provide more evidence of that.

Reid’s well-documented hatred of black Republicans, and Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Florida, specifically, is truly something to behold. She perpetuated her disdain for the lawmaker by referring to him as a “house pet of the Republican Party” on her internet show.

Watch:

Joy Reid calls @ByronDonalds a “house pet” of the Republican party.

“He lets white men pat him on the head in the United States House of Representatives.”

“He lets white men pat him on the head in the United States House of Representatives,” she added, just in case the full extent of her disgust for Donalds didn’t come across in the “house pet” line.

X users couldn’t wait to jump on the video:

If you can’t argue with someone, dehumanize them.

That’s the Marxist Democrat way.

Joy Reid has it completely backwards.

It’s actually the Democrats running the new plantations by keeping black people for an enslaved to the government via social programs in exchange for a vote.

What the actual hell is wrong with these people? I really want to know how so many people are just broken in the head. Joy Reid is a racist loon right with Abby. Tapper is lying all the time. NYC is going to need a red flag with a star soon.

No one takes abuse the way conservatives blacks do. Disgusting the things they are called by the Left.

This is as good a time as any to ask precisely what value Joy Reid adds to anything…

I don’t think Joy Reid called Obama a house pet. I guess she’s one of those that thinks if you’re black you have to think, act and vote a certain way. It’s like she thinks blacks can’t be individuals.

The democrats racist roots really shine through when they’re speaking about black conservatives.

It’s vile.

What a horrendous bunch of people. Pure hatred and overt racism. They profit from spreading hate.

Joy, if Byron is the Republican’s pet, whose pet are you?
