Watch: Joy Ann-Reid ‘Disgusted’ By Trump Removing His Mask At The White House
President Donald Trump is a coronavirus patient and after two days of being hospitalized Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he is now at the White House doing photo ops without consistently wearing his mask. MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid is appalled.
On an Oct. 5 episode of The ReidOut, the news show host said after seeing Trump removing his mask while at the White House, “I am speechless. I am stunned. I have to be honest with you, I’m disgusted by what I just saw. This man is contagious.”
She also said, “There are moments in this job when you realize that you are witnessing some of the great horrors of history. This is the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever seen a president do.”
