Former MSNBC host and inflammatory hot take peddler Joy Reid wasn’t very joyful on her Saturday podcast. As Reid tells it, the new ICE detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” will be a “concentration camp” for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to put unwanted “brown people” in because “This is like being in Apartheid South Africa in the 1980s.”
Reid huffed that, “We tried to forget about him, but Ron DeSantis is still governor of Florida. He took the Comfy Couch hosts on a tour of the concentration camp that he's building in Florida in order to round up people, brown people, and throw them in a camp because he doesn't want them in Florida. Surprise, surprise, the economy of Florida is gonna be severely harmed by rounding up brown people who, by the way, all over this country, Latinos are afraid to go to work.”
Claiming to know what goes on in the mind of every Latino, Reid continued, “Anybody who is perceived or looks Latino is afraid to go to work. I know people who are not Latino, but they're brown, and so they look Latino to the naked eye if you don't know any better, who are walking around with their passports. Who never leave home without a passport because this is a question I want to ask the audience. How would you prove you're a citizen?”
