Thursday, MSNBC’s Joy Reid accused Texas Governor Greg Abbott of “anti-immigrant xenophobia” and being “absurdly racist” to suggest the Biden administration’s immigration policies are helping spread COVID-19.
“After following DeSantis down the COVID denial path and recklessly opening up his state without any restrictions this week, he’s deflecting criticism by dishing out anti-immigrant xenophobia,” Reid said.
Reid then played a clip of Abbott was spreading the coronavirus by not having stricter restrictions on illegal immigration, a claim she called “absurdly racist.”
