On Saturday, Joy Reid of MSNBC got quite upset after seeing a video of a crowd of fans in the stands at a high school football game, saying how dangerous the large gathering was because of coronavirus, presumably because of a lack of social distancing.
This is so dangerous. We are still in a pandemic, people!!! https://t.co/mcRCspfsvZ

But contrast Reid’s angry reaction to fans just having fun at a football game to her silence concerning rioters and Black Lives Matter protestors that have shown no concern for social distancing and have been organizing in close contact for almost four months straight. Reid has even gone so far as to rationalize them.
Let me repeat this for those inventing the idea of “Black Lives Matter riots.” BLM doesn’t “riot.” They march against police violence. And note that those caught setting fires, assaulting and shooting people are consistently of the RIGHT, not the left. https://t.co/3qSk5Ym7l7

Breitbart reports that Reid also lauded Al Sharpton’s “Get Your Knee Off Our Necks” march just a week ago, where thousands gathered.
There is a new march today, which @TheRevAl is leading (wishing I could be there!) And among those marching will be survivors of the vigilante violence in Kenosha. https://t.co/cjRwjbbD4N

However, the very self-aware Reid has no compunction about attacking Trump supporter rallies for the same actions.
You are MUCH more at risk from unmasked Trump cultists coming home to your suburb from a superspreader rally and coughing or sneezing on you in Walmart or touching the door handle after wiping their nose than you are from a Black Lives Matter rally.

Either the coronavirus is so woke that it only affects non-Leftist causes, or Joy Reid is just a shameless hack.
