Oof: Biden's Mother Emanuel Speech Is Brutally Panned On The ReidOut
If President Joe Biden was expecting his campaign speech at Mother Emanuel AME Church to garner positive reviews, he sure didn’t get any during the 7PM hour on MSNBC. Joy Reid and panelist Jason Johnson panned the speech as not enough, and a throwback to “90s, 80s politics.” The Lincoln Grift’s Tara Setmayer was reduced to almost literally repeating the Biden line asking not to be compared to the Almighty, but the alternative. Watch as Reid and Johnson take turns citing their objections to the speech, its timing, and the broader politics of Joe Biden and his level of engagement with the younger black community… You just knew that Biden was in deep, deep trouble here when Reid opened with a clip of former President Barack Obama singing “Amazing Grace” during his eulogy for Reverend Clementa Pinckney, in the aftermath of the 2015 racist massacre at Mother Emanuel. THIS is how Reid introduced President Biden’s speech today.
The segment went downhill fast for Biden, in what represented a microcosm of his own fraying electoral coalition. Reid goes to Johnson, who pretty much buried the speech, saying that it does nothing to move younger voters. Interestingly enough, Johnson recommends that Biden get in front of such hosts as Shannon Sharpe and Charlemagne. The imagination trembles at the notion of two hours of Biden and Sharpe, or of the potential for “You Ain’t Black, Part Two” with Charlemagne, who told Politico that he feels “burned” from his endorsement of Biden in 2020. Either way, pure content gold. Reid used the clip of the checkers to illustrate Biden’s deep disconnect with younger voters. It is here that Setmayer comes to Biden’s rescue with lamentations of the timing of the Israel-Hamas war vis-a-vis the campaign (as always, the purest, truest victim of any such unfortunate event is Joe Biden’s reelection prospects) and coming dangerously close to telling Reid and Johnson to fall in line.
Since the segment can’t all be about dumping on Biden’s speech, Reid closes by slamming Nikki Haley’s explanation of the meaning of the Confederate flag on the Glenn Beck radio show. But not before pointedly mentioning that the Obamas are very concerned, SCARED even, of what is happening within the Biden reelection campaign. Tough crowd, indeed.
