MSNBC’s Joy Reid is suggesting that Fox News hosts are content to “let” their viewers die from COVID-19 because it is “fun for them.”
During a segment of her show on Tuesday, Reid said, “God bless Joe Biden. He’s not perfect you know there are a lot of things we can complain about about President Biden. He actually is a caring human being who does want the whole country to survive this.”
“And there are people there who have decided to turn him into the devil just because they would rather hear Tucker and all of those clowns in a vaccinated — probably the most vaccinated company in America is Fox News. They’re all vaccinated. They’re going to live through and let their viewers and their fans die. They don’t give a damn,” She continued.
She added, “It’s just clicks to them. It’s just — they don’t care what happens. This is fun for them. You know. God bless Biden.”

Historian Michael Beschloss chimed in, “Hundreds of thousands of people are supposed to die to undermine Joe Biden, and help the Republicans?”
“It’s sad. That’s what they think. Let them die. If it gets them power, let as many people die…they don’t care,” Reid responded.
Reid’s comments come after President Joe Biden blasted outlets spreading “dangerous misinformation” about the coronavirus.
Fox News has been heavily criticized for its coverage of the virus and the vaccines.
Earlier this year, the network’s Sean Hannity made news after he told viewers to “take COVID seriously.” He also urged them to “research like crazy, talk to your doctor, your doctors, medical professionals” about whether or not they should get vaccinated.
“It absolutely makes sense for many Americans to get vaccinated. I believe in science. I believe in the science of vaccination,” he added.
