MSNBC host Joy Reid suggested on Thursday that organizers of the Republican National Convention "trotted out" Black people to speak in order to make White nationalism more acceptable.
In a piece published in the liberal outlet The Nation, frequent MSNBC guest Elie Mystal accused the RNC of "using" Black people "to convince white [sic] people it’s OK to vote for a bigot."
"Most white [sic] Republican voters don’t need permission to vote for white [sic] supremacy. They’re racist themselves and think being racist is just common sense," Mystal wrote. "The message is not subtle, but Donald Trump’s willingness to say the quiet part out loud is why so many racists love him. The irreducible core of his base is white [sic] people who think being openly racist and violent toward Black people is an inalienable right that has been taken from them by 'cancel culture.' Trump gives these people a bullhorn, and they love him for it."
