Joy Reid praised “DEIs” for prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
The MSNBC host said that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's criminal prosecution of the former president was "wonderfully poetic," because “the first person to actually criminally prosecute Donald Trump is a Black Harvard grad. The very kind of person that his former staff, the people who worked for him, Steven Miller, etc., want to never be at Harvard Law School. But he was. And he came out and graduated, and he’s prosecuting you, Donald."
She added, "And a black woman is doing that same exact thing in Georgia and a Black woman forced you to pay a $175 million fine," referencing District Attorney Fani Willis in Georgia and New York Attorney General Letitia James.
"Donald Trump is being held to account by the very multicultural, multiracial democracy that he’s trying to dismantle … It says something good about our country that we’re still capable of having that happen. Go, DEI. My DEIs are bringing it home."
DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs have been banned from colleges in states such as Florida and Texas for being exclusionary and racist.
In March 2023, Trump was indicted by Bragg on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to bookkeeping entries made that indicated that fees paid to his attorney Michael Cohen were legal fees. Bragg attests that these payments made before the 2016 election were then used by Cohen to pay off a porn star, Stormy Daniels, with whom Trump is alleged to have had an affair. Both the woman and Trump deny that allegation.
Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Reid also claimed Trump was "outdoing actual mobsters" for criticizing trial Judge Juan Merchan because one of the former president’s attorneys represented mobster Benny Eggs.
Trump has been hit with a gag order over comments made about the judge and his Democrat operative daughter. He is prohibited from speaking publicly against witnesses, as well. Bragg filed a motion to hold him in contempt.
Bragg argued in the motion that Trump has "willfully violated this Court's order by publishing several social media posts attacking two known witnesses— Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels."
