Joy Reid erupted into offensive language about white people in a recent TikTok rant as she celebrated Kamala Harris nominating Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate. Within seconds, Reid said this about Sen. Mark Kelly in otherwise positive terms: “He would have been the safest, most conventional choice for me,” Reid said on TikTok. “White, super white. Like, you know, mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder Bread white, from a border state.”
She goes on to say that Josh Shapiro would have been the “riskiest choice” and raves about Tim Walz as if to say, “Walz comes closer.” But if a Fox News host said a black man was comparable to (insert food item here)? That would be career-ending.
Joy Reid calls Senator Mark Kelly a “mayonnaise sandwich” because he is white.
Joy Reid is an incredible racist.

As our intern Michael Wnek reported, this fits with Joy Reid from about a month ago when she criticized Charles Gasparino for New York Post about Kamala Harris being a DEI choice:
Who exactly are you, Charles Gasparino? So who are you in every sense of the word? And what qualifies you to write an editorial about the presidency, even at the dollar store? New York Times, except that you are white? …Now write about golf, unusual dancing, or whatever your current skills are.because you are not qualified to discuss the Vice President. She does her black job and doesn’t have time for you. But I had time tonight. So here we go.
Reid loves this big talk about Kamala Harris, and she laughed along when former CNN analyst Roland Martin mocked Erick Erickson, calling him the “king of mayonnaise” who was “unseasoned chicken.”
MARTIN: And Erick – and Erick, come on. Erick, you the king of mayonnaise, so please don’t talk about seasoned chicken if you’re into unseasoned chicken.
REID: (laughs).
MARTIN: Please. This sister grew up in the Bay Area. She knows black people.
After the Republican convention, Reid posted on TikTok that if you are black or even have any connection to black culture, you have to vote against Kamala. New York Post reports:
“The door has to close on Amber (Rose), and she looked crazy over there. But close the door on her,” Reid said, reigniting her feud with Rose, who criticized her after she spoke at the Republican National Convention last week. “She’s racially ambiguous. I don’t want to say she’s black because she said she’s not, so I don’t want to say ‘that black woman,'” Reid said after Rose’s speech. “That woman, whatever race she is, she said she’s not black, but (the RNC) brought in someone whose entire career was based on black culture.”
