Joy Reid mocked for wanting Jasmine Crockett to be made Democratic party leader: 'Room temperature IQ'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Political commentator and former MSNBC host Joy Reid stirred controversy this week after publicly calling for Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) to lead the Democratic Party, prompting intense reactions across social media and political circles.

Speaking candidly on 'The Breakfast Club' radio show, Reid reflected on her recent dismissal from MSNBC and voiced her deep frustration with the Democratic establishment.

She suggested that the party lacks strong, decisive leadership and floated Crockett as a possible future figurehead.

“I’ve been a Democrat since I was old enough to vote, but I’m barely hanging on, honestly,” Reid admitted. “I’m not willing to cede the country to Trumpism and MAGA simply because I’m clinging to this party.”

“I’m like at this point, who cares what the party label is, give me an effective fighter,” she said.

The conversation quickly shifted to who Reid believes embodies the kind of leadership Democrats need. 

“If Jasmine Crockett is the most effective fighter, give me Jasmine Crockett… just give me her, because we need a leader,” Reid declared. 

Crockett, a first-term representative from Texas, gained national attention for her vocal opposition to conservative policies and her fiery exchanges on Capitol Hill. 

Joy Reid faces online backlash after endorsing Jasmine Crockett to lead Democrats

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid sparked intense backlash across social media after publicly suggesting Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) should lead the Democratic Party. The remark, made during a recent broadcast, quickly ignited criticism from conservative users and some centrist voices online.

Many detractors took aim not only at Reid but also at Crockett, questioning her qualifications and mocking Reid’s endorsement.

One user wrote, “No, they don't have to live in this country. She can find another country to send them to if she doesn't like America. And she can take her happy a** with them!”

Another added a personal dig, “I feel sorry for those kids for having a mother like that.”

Commenters slammed saying, “It's really embarrassing this group they have—holy moly.”

“So, she has now clarified the fact she has room temperature IQ,” another added.
