Joy Reid bizarrely claims US only ‘marginally better’ than Iran while comparing abortion laws to Islamic regime
NY Post
Far-left podcast host Joy Reid argued that the United States is only “marginally better” than Iran and compared American pro-life laws to the oppressive tactics of the Iranian regime.
Appearing on the “One54 Africa” podcast March 11, Reid made the comparison as U.S. forces continue Operation Epic Fury, a military campaign targeting Iran.
“Our regime has secret police. They have secret police,” Reid said, sitting alongside host Akbar Gbajabiamila and comedian Godfrey.
“Our regime is oppressing women, taking away abortion rights, taking away women’s rights in like 26 states, some states where they’re trying to have the death penalty for having an abortion. They also oppress women,” she added.
Reid, who was fired last year by MS NOW when it was still called MSNBC, opened by clarifying she wasn’t arguing the Iranian regime is “not bad,” but rather placing the U.S. on a similar moral level.
