In her ongoing campaign to convince everyone who will listen that Republicans are the epitome of evil in the United States, MSNBC host Joy Reid on Wednesday accused the GOP of hating President Joe Biden because he was the vice president under “the black president.”

Her guests, veritable yes-men former advisor to President Bush Matthew Dowd and former Sen. Claire McCaskill had no issues with her assertion. Dowd himself even argued that if Republicans take back control of Congress during the 2022 midterms, democracy has “failed.”

“If the Republicans take the Congress back and the Senate in 2022 and we have a presidential election unfold, then I think we are at the point where our democracy is failed,” Dowd whined. “One of the problems that I have with what’s happened over the last five years is that our democracy has gone under a stress test.”
