Tuesday night, during MSNBC’s Super Tuesday election coverage, the all-star panel of hosts openly laughed at voters who see the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border as the number one issue in this year’s election.
Anchor Joy Reid said, “Republican voters don’t vote that way. The don’t vote based on economic or based on the economic benefits they are getting from the president. They are increasingly from the Tea Party on they’re voting on this idea of an invasion of brown people over the border, the idea that they can’t get whatever job they want. A black person got it. Therefore, drive all the blacks out of the colleges. Get rid of dye. That is what they’re voting on. They’re just voting specifically on racial animus at this stage. It isn’t about economics.”
