Joy Reid Claims ‘Black And Brown Men’ Joining ‘Fascist Ground Swell’ As Trump Gains Momentum

(DCNF) MSNBC host Joy Reid decried former President Donald Trump’s support among black and Hispanic voters Monday night, claiming it was creating a “fascist ground swell.”

Trump has gained support among both black and Hispanic voters, largely due to his stances on the economy and immigration, as the November election approaches. Reid took aim at black and Hispanic men in her comments, implying sexism played a role in their support for Trump.

“In many ways, the disinformation campaign is working. Base Republicans today believe everything from Democrats secretly manipulating the weather from a secret base in Alaska to Trump being incapable of losing this election,” Reid said during her show. “He’s winning in a landslide. And some Democrats are starting to believe the disinformation too. Have you noticed how sharply the polls have shifted in Trump’s favor over the last couple weeks? With these claims that Trump is surging with black and Latino voters and leading in every single swing state according to secret internal polls despite all the Hitler talk?”

“Yes, this race will be far too close,” Reid continued. “Because unfortunately we do have a fascist ground swell in parts of this country, mainly among white men, let’s be clear, but in small pockets among black and brown men too. This happens to be a global phenomenon, as women become more economically independent and seek positions of power.”

Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were tied at 48% each in an NBC News poll released Sunday, with the former president leading Harris on who was more trusted to handle immigration by a 56% to 31% margin.

Trump trails Harris by 1.4% in the RealClearPolling average of polls from Sept. 30 to Oct. 13, with the vice president’s lead increasing to 1.5% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys.
