MSNBC anchor Joy Reid on Saturday called for the top two congressional Republicans to be stripped of their leadership positions after joining in with Donald Trump in trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
“I’m beginning to get the sense that the Seditious 17 and the Autocracy 126 are beginning realize how badly they screwed up,” journalist Kurt Eichenwald tweeted Saturday.
“Thought it was just smart politics to join onto something calling for the disenfranchisement of millions. Too bad and too late. This is you, forever,” he concluded.
Reid replied with her thoughts.

“And how mad is it that two of them are at the top of House Republican leadership??” Reid asked.
Reid said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) “should be stripped of their positions.”
And how mad is it that two of them are at the top of House Republican leadership?? @kevinomccarthy & @SteveScalise should be stripped of their positions. Even Moscow Mitch wasn’t stupid enough to put his name on that confederate lawsuit sewage. Difference btwn evil and stupid.
