MSNBC's Joy Reid promotes guest who calls Texas pro-lifers the 'new American Taliban'

MSNBC host Joy Reid promoted on Wednesday author Frank Schaeffer who labeled Texas pro-life supporters are the "American Taliban."

"We have a situation in Texas right now tonight where the American Taliban, because that’s what it is, there’s not an American evangelical right-wing movement, there is an American Taliban that is weirdly similar in so many ways to the Middle Eastern Islamist terrorists," Schaeffer said.  He continued, "Today, there is no evangelical political movement. There is a new American Taliban and their goal is theocracy which means to take our religious beliefs, which for them are Old Testament Law, not Christianity, and force secular Americans, non-evangelical Americans, progressive Americans, women, people of color, into that box."
