‘Starting Another F*cking War’: MSNBC’s Joy Reid Caught On Hot Mic Cursing During Biden Story

MSNBC’s Joy Reid unwittingly unloaded an f-bomb on a hot mic during Monday’s edition of The ReidOut.

At one point, Reid slammed congressional Republicans who oppose President Joe Biden’s legislative achievements – only to later take credit for the benefits their states and districts receive. She then pivoted to immigration talks in the Senate.

“Case in point– fixing what they say is a crisis at the border with congressional negotiators continuing work on a bipartisan deal to tie border policy changes to funding for Ukraine,” the host said, referring to talks that former President Donald Trump is trying to sabotage. “Over the weekend, President Biden said he’s ready to take action if Congress is serious about solving the border issue.”

Trump is attempting to thwart Senate negotiations on a comprehensive border security and immigration bill because he plans to criticize Biden over the border situation while campaigning against him.

The host aired snippets of Biden’s speech on Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina. As the clips aired, Reid spoke, seemingly unaware her mic was still on:

BIDEN: If that bill were the law today, I’d shut down the border now and I’d fix it quickly… And Congress needs to get it done.

REID: Starting another fuckin’ war.

Reid’s mic was cut and about a moment later she was back on air.

“Still trying to kill the deal,” Reid said, presumably a reference to Trump that went unheard when her mic was turned off. “He bragged about blocking progress and said, ‘Please, please, blame him if it fails.'”

Later in the show, Reid apologized to viewers.

“Before we go, I just want to apologize very quickly,” she said. “I was chatting during a clip that was playing, and you know, we try to keep this show very PG-13, so I just want to apologize to anyone who was listening to my ‘behind the scenes’ chatter. I deeply, deeply apologize for that.”

By “another fuckin’ war,” Reid may have been referring to the increasing tensions in the Middle East, which have no doubt been exacerbated when three U.S. soldiers were killed in Jordan on Sunday by what the Pentagon said were Iranian proxies.
