We love how Joy Reid’s Twitter profile features a quote from James Baldwin:

“Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.”

In fact, MSNBC and the collective left are so ignorant, they do not even realize how ignorant they are when their own ignorant statements come back to haunt them. Joy Reid is no exception. Take this tweet from earlier yesterday morning:

A lot of people who are mad at Collin Kaepernick will be kneeling in church today. `

Open (big mouth), insert foot:

.@JoyAnnReid people kneel in church to thank and praise God, not to disrespect country and flag, you dolt pic.twitter.com/dtrHzOgtgT

But, but, but…

They're not protesting the flag. They're protesting police profiling and killing black people with impunity. Is that not worth protesting? https://t.co/ntXEhpcn9d

Why don’t those brave “kneelers” in the NFL volunteer to go into those Chicago hoods and help with the problem. Don’t count on it.

Maxine Waters even sounded off. More hot air. From The “Morning Joy” (Far from it and viewer warning: 9 minutes of painful video):

Of course, Ms. Waters has now made kneeling a sign of protest against Trump and throws around the word “impeach” for the umpteenth time this year. They are kneeling because our country is promoting a racial divide? Leaving Trump completely out of this equation, the only people I see here promoting a racial divide are Kaepernick, the media, some members of the NFL and now freaking Stevie Wonder! Very superstitious, writings on the wall…

Joy Reid, the people in church today that haven't been shot will be praying for Collin Kaepernick's eyes to be opened.

And what, pray tell, was Reid’s and her cronies’ position on this?

Dems then: Why does Tebow have to pray on the sideline and rub our faces in his beliefs???

Dems now: The resistance begins at the 50yd line

And, remember when the left went nuts because Tim Tebow kneeled in prayer? Now, the left is encouraging the NFL players to #TakeAKnee! We just can’t keep up!

But it’s not about Trump, they say. It’s about inner-city racial profiling and unfairness, they say. (Even though some of them are kneeling now because of Trump’s most recent remarks.) What is it, really? We can go in circles trying to rationalize Joy Reid’s beyond idiotic remark from yesterday morning. Those in church kneel in reverence to God while those on the football field are kneeling in solidarity to a man who is not even employed by the NFL anymore? They are kneeling in protest of a President they do not care for? They are kneeling because of the peer pressure from their colleagues and their culture to kneel for fear of being blacklisted for not going along with the popular opinion? For the record, Joy…not ALL people in churches kneel. Some stand in worship. And some religions pull out their prayer mats in the morning to KNEEL for salat. But of course, Ms. Reid, only Christians who kneel at church but stand for the National Anthem are upset about a bunch of overgrown, overpaid children #TakingAKnee and promoting a racial divide!

Some of these players have come from very humble beginnings but they didn’t take a knee when they wanted to get out of poverty. They didn’t take a knee when they learned the art of the sport. They didn’t take a knee when they got offered college football scholarships. They did not take a knee when they got drafted to the NFL in protest to racism. They most certainly don’t take the knee when attempting to score a touchdown! It’s kind of hard to run when you’re #TakingAKnee. Remind us again, which country makes this all possible? And what was this about ignorance, the powerful people with a voice and the enemy to justice? Come again?
