Joy Reid Gets Wrecked Over Her Lies About Critical Race Theory

Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Christopher Rufo, who has been aggressively fighting against Critical Race Theory, went on Joy Reid's MSNBC show Wednesday night to discuss the issue. 

During the "interview," which Reid repeatedly attempted to turn into a monologue, Rufo tore apart her lies and false claims about CRT. 

WOWZA: Just moments into their fiery interview, the Manhattan Institute's @realchrisrufo lowered the boom on Joy Reid, calling her out on her lies about Critical Race Theory.

Here's an example of how Reid wouldn't let Rufo speak. She would prattle on and attribute thoughts and comments to him that he tried to argue weren't his, but she would just yell over him and wouldn't let him tell her audience the truth. pic.twitter.com/pAJpJ8LO57

In one of the rare moments where Rufo was able to get a word in, he called her out for being a part of the "manipulation of language."

After the show concluded, context for the interview was cut off and posted on Reid's social media accounts.

You can tell how bad this interview was for @JoyAnnReid by the fact that she tweeted out her asking a 2 minute question... and cut off the video before @realchrisrufo's answer. https://t.co/XMDS25FF5r

Meanwhile, Democrats are using their typical accusations of racism to shut down debate on the topic. 

CRT advocates are so blinded by ideology they don't even realize they're making their opposition's case for them.

"Anyone who opposes what we're saying is racist. And even if you don't oppose it, America is inherently racist and you're complicit." https://t.co/f5VULvztD3

GOP reps. introduce resolution to censure Biden over border crisis

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is leading a coalition of House Republicans to censure Joe Biden for his dereliction of duty in regard to the border crisis. During a press conference Wednesday, the Colorado lawmaker criticized Biden for allowing criminals and drugs to flow through the southern border.

“Sex offender apprehensions have doubled and drug smuggling arrests have tripled,” she stated. “Enough fentanyl to kill every American four times over has been intercepted by Border Patrol in just the first four months of the Biden regime.”

Joe Biden has not enforced border security laws and has ignored the crisis at our southern border.

That’s why today, I led my colleagues in a resolution to censure Joe Biden.

He’s failed the American people. He must be held accountable.

— Rep. Lauren Boebert (@RepBoebert) June 23, 2021

Republicans have said Biden caused the immigration crisis by abolishing Trump-era border policies, halting border wall construction and incentivizing illegal immigration.

“Girls are being assaulted, children are being abandoned at the border,  families are self-separating because of Joe Biden’s policies,” Boebert continued. “Children 6 years of age and under may cross with an adult, but 7 years and older are sent back. So parents are choosing to self-separate from their children, putting their children in the hands of the cartel.”

In the announced resolution, lawmakers said Biden should be held accountable for his inaction as well as for not upholding his constitutional duty to enforce U.S. border and immigration laws.

The Biden administration has been criticized by both Republicans and Democrats for its mishandling of the southern border as nearly 200,000 illegal immigrants are reported to have crossed the U.S.-Mexico border in March.

Joe Biden Is Quickly Becoming Quite the Salesman, But for Something He Hates

Joe Biden and the Democrats have fired across the bow on gun control again. They're coming after Americans' private property. They want to shred the Second Amendment. This is nothing new. How they do a test run in this has taken a bit of an overhaul. After failing to convince the public to expand background checks, ban so-called high-capacity magazines, and reinstate the "assault weapons" ban (stupid term), the Left took its fight to the local level. And they've had success. 

Florida and Vermont both changed their gun laws. Florida increased the age to purchase all guns, even long guns, to 21. Vermont did that, plus banned high-capacity magazines. Both had GOP governors at the time. Then-Florida Gov. Rick Scott was elected to the Senate in 2018, while Gov. Phil Scott, no relation, in Vermont handily won another term. At the time, both governors got high marks from the National Rifle Association. The laws will be challenged in court. Florida's age purchase provision is already in court, but these battles take time and money. The anti-gun Left knows this. 

Now, the gun-grabbing Left is trying to move to ban pistol stabilizers, which does nothing to enhance public safety. It will push 10-40 million Americans into legal jeopardy, however. There is no wiggle room. You have to register these devices or turn them over. It's why a lot of pro-Second Amendment groups are calling this the largest gun registration and confiscation scheme in history — and the Biden crew merely tweaked an existing regulation with the ATF. Stephen Gutowski of the Reload has covered this extensively. 

And with a renewed assault on our constitutional right to own firearms, people are flocking to gun stores. Like Obama, Biden has become a helluva gun salesman (via The Reload):

Americans continued to flood into gun shops nationwide in May 2021.

The month saw the second most sales of any May ever at more than 1.3 million, according to an industry analysis of FBI background check numbers released on Wednesday. The flood of new gun purchases puts May 2021 far ahead of any other May on record besides May 2020. The strong sales numbers mean 2021 is still on pace to break the all-time record for gun sales set just last year.

“Over 8.5 million background checks for the sale of a firearm have been completed this year. That figure outpaces 2020’s totals at the same point, which topped 8.1 million,” Mark Oliva, spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) which conducted the analysis, told The Reload.

Now, the other side of this is that there's an ammo shortage. For those who have purchased firearms that use .223/5.56 or 9mm ammunition, you could be in for some rough times finding those munitions. The surge of new gun owners, the Biden administration, and the cost of materials have caused a crisis where these calibers might not be readily available for at least 18 months. It could be up to two-and-a-half years.  

“For those who shoot 9mm and 5.56 ammunition, which are both in high demand, it’s very uncertain how long it will be before people will consistently have ammunition readily available,” Winchester president Brett Flaugher told me. https://t.co/ikKW1DjRQI

Rep. Jordan Questions Microsoft President Over Antitrust Bills

Rep. Jordan Questions Microsoft President Over Antitrust Bills

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the ranking Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, has asked Microsoft President Brad Smith about a series of recent bipartisan antitrust bills that may or may not impact the company.

A panel is set to review a package of five bills following an investigation into major technology companies including Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google. The probe determined that the antitrust laws would have a noticeable impact on those companies, but was unclear about Microsoft, which was not one of the companies investigated by the committee.

Jordan wrote in a letter to Smith, which was obtained by CNBC and published on Monday, to ask about the company and how it would be affected by the bills.

“Does Microsoft consider itself to be a ‘covered platform’ as defined in the antitrust legislation,” he asked, adding: “If the antitrust legislation introduced by House Democrats becomes law, will Microsoft stop exerting editorial control over user content on its platforms?”

Rep. David Cicilline, D-R.I., who chairs the House Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust, told Axios: “I don’t know whether Microsoft would meet the test that is set forth in these five bills.”

Smith said on Bloomberg TV, “There are aspects of the legislation that was introduced in the House last week that absolutely applies to Microsoft and many other companies.”

In the letter, Jordan also asked Smith to “explain Microsoft’s basis for censoring user content about Hunter Biden,” and to “explain Microsoft’s basis for censoring user content about the origins of COVID-19,” as well as “provide an accounting of all content moderation decisions made by LinkedIn over the last two years for users located within the United States or China, including which LinkedIn rule or policy the user allegedly violated and the content of the moderated post.”

The congressman claims that “Multiple LinkedIn users have reported Microsoft’s censorship of posts related to Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden. In one case, LinkedIn removed a post about an official U.S. Senate committee report concerning Hunter Biden. In another case, LinkedIn censored a post by the former general counsel of the National Security Agency about Big Tech’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.”

He said that the social media website “also censored a post by an opinion editor at the Washington Times about Democrats’ abuse of executive orders and removed a post that linked to a study challenging prevailing liberal views on climate change.”

Jordan also claimed that “LinkedIn has restricted accounts for posts related to COVID-19. Citing its ‘misinformation’ policy, LinkedIn censored posts that the coronavirus originated from a dangerous laboratory in Wuhan, China, as well as posts that criticized government-mandated mask requirements.”


 

Democrats push to eliminate filibuster

Democrats have continued their push to eliminate the Senate filibuster in efforts to further Joe Biden’s agenda. The filibuster, which is a Senate rule, will need essentially 60 votes to pass most legislation.

Many have argued the filibuster has been a hurdle for Democrats as they have sought to fulfill Joe Biden’s agenda. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) said Democrats have chosen to work mainly on partisan bills and reported bills from the House to the Senate that don’t have bipartisan support.

Every Senate vote that dies due to GOP filibuster of cloture is a FAIL on the Dems.

Not on the GOP.

Public opinion is NOT moving on this.

Either we do what needs to be done, or we admit we can’t or won’t.

These political theatrics are wasting precious time & pissing us off.

— Pam Keith, Esq. (@PamKeithFL) June 21, 2021

Thune went on to add this includes the Second Amendment, elections and immigration.

“”I hope that on the leaders point, there are enough Democrats who recognize the value of what the Senate contributes…of making sure there is at least some attempt to cooperate and find common ground and bipartisanship,” he explained. “Blowing up the legislative filibuster in order to accomplish some short term agenda will only backfire and create a lot of long term pain for the country and for the party that does it.”

This comes after Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) have said “everything’s on the table” in regards to the possibility of eliminating the filibuster. According to a review of the 45 Democrat senators who have called for changing or eliminating the filibuster in the past year, 39 of them defended it when Republicans controlled the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) has said getting rid of it would essentially be “blowing up the Senate.” He added that fracturing the filibuster changes the
Senate institutionally forever.

“Big funding deals, appropriation bills, farm bills, highway bills, the NDAA, the Senate’s 60 vote threshold backstops all of it,” he expressed. “It’s not just about controversial items, it’s about everything we do.”

McConnell went on to say those that want the change are arguing for a radically less stable system of government. He also stated the loss of the filibuster would be a “scorched earth Senate,” while others have argued that ultimately both parties need to find a way to work together.


 

Sen. Johnson: Democrat media suppress information about more than 5,000 vaccine deaths

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) highlighted reports of a rising number of deaths caused by coronavirus vaccines. He announced the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported thousands of deaths from side effects of experimental vaccines.

The Republican senator argued Dr. Anthony Fauci and various media outlets have been turning a blind eye to warning signals from the Vaccine Adverse Event Warning System from the CDC, which has reported about 5,000 deaths. Johnson stressed there are safe and effective treatments for COVID-19, such as hydroxychloroquine, and Democrat calls for mass vaccination have been misleading.

“Over 1,700 within days zero, one and two of getting vaccinated. We have thousands of people who have permanent disabilities, 20,000 hospitalizations,” he expressed. “That, quite honestly, compares to less than 200 deaths per year in the entire 30 year history of the VAERS system with other vaccines.”

Johnson went on to say Big Tech and mainstream media are still censoring the information about early treatments for COVID-19, which must be investigated. He argued that American people will continue to suffer the consequences of misleading information and the ignorance of leading health experts.
