Joy Reid on Monday officially launched her new MSNBC show featuring an interview with Joe Biden — but critics knocked the host for going too easy on the presumptive Democratic candidate.
Reid, who frequently served as a fill-in host during the 7 p.m. timeslot following the departure of “Hardball” host Chris Matthews, made headlines when she announced that both Biden and Hillary Clinton would appear in the debut installment of “The ReidOut” as her first guests.
However, not many headlines were made from her interview with the former vice president, perhaps because the questions she asked did not appear to be tough on Biden.
Her first question to Biden asked him to respond to President Trump’s remarks about the coronavirus outbreak during his “Fox News Sunday” interview with Chris Wallace.
The second question was regarding Trump’s efforts to take action on health care and immigration, which he suggests the Supreme Court allows him to do based on previous rulings.
“What do you make of a president of the United States, who is trying again to take health care away from 20, 30 million people as his campaign strategy and again, going back to the idea of kicking out immigrants?” Reid asked.
