MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed that “every single Republican would say yes” to President Donald Trump selling the country to Russia during her show on Thursday night.
Reid made the unhinged claim during an interview with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries about the upcoming battle over the spending bill.
“What’s the point of passing a budget if Republicans have already conceded that they are not in charge, that you or the Congress is not in charge of spending money?” Reid said.
The pundit continued, “Elon Musk is. What’s the point of passing a budget if it’s really Elon Musk’s decision whether that budget is adhered to?”
Jeffries attempted to ease Reid’s panic by claiming Republicans might switch sides and vote with the Democrats.
“It only takes three House Republicans to do the right thing on behalf of the people that they represent,” Jeffries said.
Reid fired back, “But we’ve seen, Leader Jeffries, that there aren’t three. There aren’t any.”
“If Donald Trump announced tomorrow that he was selling the United States to Vladimir Putin personally and that we will now be owned by the Kremlin, every single Republican would say, ‘Yes, sir,’ and vote for it,” she claimed.
“We already have seen their behavior. We’ve stopped – I think most of us – have stopped expecting any different behavior from them.”
