Joy-Ann Reid compared the situation in Afghanistan to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ a reference she has made repeatedly about Republican policies
MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid came under fire Saturday for comparing the religious right in the United States to the Taliban, claiming they want to force women “solely into childbirth” and out of the workforce.
“This is the real-life Handmaid’s Tale,” Reid tweeted, comparing the situation in Afghanistan to the novel and dystopian drama series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” where women are portrayed as property and forced to bear children.
“A true cautionary tale for the U.S., which has our own far religious right dreaming of a theocracy that would impose a particular brand of Christianity, drive women from the workforce and solely into childbirth, and control all politics,” the tweet continued.
Critics blasted the MSNBC host for showing her true feelings about Republicans and the religious right in the United States.
“THIS is what Joy Reid thinks of conservatives and Republicans,” tweeted Curtis Houck.
“You know nothing of Christianity,” tweeted The Blaze’s Jessica O’Donnell.
