It seems the alt-left anti-Trump propagandists in the Democrat-media complex will do or say anything to foment hate and violence against President Trump. On Friday, MSNBC propagandist Joy Reid failed history and geography in a xenophobic attack on Trump and all the women he has been married to.
“Donald Trump married one American (his second wife) and two women from what used to be Soviet Yugoslavia: Ivana-Slovakia, Melania-Slovenia,” she tweeted.

It’s hard to determine what her point was, unless she was trying to push the Russia-Trump conspiracy theory.
But she was wrong to claim that Yugoslavia was part of the Soviet Union and she was wrong to claim that Slovakia was ever park of Yugoslavia or the former Soviet Union.
Besides that, her attack was xenophobic and misogynistic. And probably racist as well.
Twitter basically cleaned her clock:
The blatant xenophobia aside, Czechoslovakia was not part of Yugoslavia, and neither were in the USSR@JoyAnnReid https://t.co/HGFs6egEY1

Overlooking Joy Reid’s ignorance about the USSR, how did she confuse Slovakia with Yugoslavia? Czechoslovakia has “Slovakia” in its name…

According to his Twitter bio, Norton writes for AlterNet, hardly a bastion of conservatism…
I don’t think she’s interested in facts, Ben.

She does work for MSNBC and regularly slobbers over interviews Maxine Waters, so…

This would be like Russians accusing you of being American spy for marrying someone from Brazil?

So immigrants are good, unless they’re successful, beautiful, don’t hate America, and marry a Republican?

Another person reminded Reid of a statement on her own Twitter bio:
— America First! (@pscully1812) July 22, 2017
Reid said she corrected her tweet, but that didn’t stop the mockery:
Donald Trump married one American (his second wife) and two women from what used to be Soviet Yugoslavia: Ivana-Slovakia, Melania-Slovenia.

One has to ask — Why didn’t she get it right to start with? After all, she’s part of the cabal that tells us they and only they have facts. The rest of us are just ignorant rubes, at least in their eyes.
The reason is clear. Being part of the Democrat-media complex, Reid apparently doesn’t believe she has any need to get anything right as long as she can twist it to fit her anti-Trump narrative.
Keep in mind this is the same Joy Reid who suggested Rep. Steve Scalise deserved to get shot by a crazed Bernie Sanders supporter because of his conservative record. And this is the same Joy Reid who kicked a GOP guest off her show for having the audacity to say that Elizabeth Warren is not a Native American.
This, by the way, is a huge part of the reason why so many no longer trust the so-called “mainstream media.”
