MSNBC’s Joy Reid is terrified of religion intersecting with politics and is constantly worrying on The ReidOut about the threat of “Christian Nationalism.” On Wednesday, though, she found an exception for Kamala Harris supporters who mix religion and politics because they are like the “Christian pastors who led the civil rights movement.”
Reid made the literally unbelievable claim that “Evangelical Christians for Kamala Harris was not on anyone's bingo card for 2024. Because most people assume Evangelical is synonymous with conservative. It's not.”
In 2024, every group is for everyone. There’s probably a Chefs for Harris out there somewhere with a Chefs for Trump counterpart. Still, Reid continued, “There are plenty of Evangelicals who reject the mean, selfish version of the religion that follow Jesus the Christ. We call them Red Letter Christians, think Bishop William Barber, friend of the show, who is, wait for it, an evangelical Christian.”
