MSNBC Reidout host Joy Reid is on a hot streak stoking the flames that seek to divide, with her top targets this week being ads about Jesus that ran during Super Bowl LVII and, of course, a running favorite of hers, Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
While some of us look forward to watching the highly anticipated Super Bowl commercials more than the game itself, Reid decided to rain on everyone’s parade in typical fashion. What could be so offensive that this was required?
Two ads promoting the love and humility of Jesus Christ from the Gospel.
‘He Gets Us’ Jesus Themed Super Bowl Ads
The offending ads are part of The Servant Foundation’s “He Gets Us” campaign. According to the website, “He Gets Us” is “a movement to reintroduce people to the Jesus of the Bible.” The two Super Bowl spots cost the Servant Foundation more than ten million dollars.
The first ad, entitled “Love Your Enemies,” speaks directly to the state of our nation. Which means it also speaks counter to those who would seek to divide.
The second ad, “Be Childlike,” focuses on living with the humility, compassion, and gentleness of children like Jesus did, asking, “What can we learn from his example today?”
Joy Reid Takes Aim at Super Bowl Ads About Jesus
The group’s website describes them as “a diverse group of people passionate about the authentic Jesus of the Bible.” Reid, however, describes them as a “LGBTQ hate group” and denounces the Christian group for leading ” fights against abortion.”
Reid took aim at the campaign’s “backers”, making a point to name Hobby Lobby founder David Green as a donor, noting his status as a funder of “right-wing religious causes.” Her disdain for Christian causes was on full display as she snipes, “Because his brand has really just never been built before.”
Reid’s final blow came in the form of, “And I think it is fair to say Jesus Christ wouldn’t spend millions of dollars on television ads promoting his image.”
However, “He Gets Us” spokesperson Jason Vanderground explained why they saw Super Bowl LVII as a perfect platform for their message.
“It fits with our target audience really well,” Vanderground told The Associated Press about the ads. “We’re trying to get the message across to people who are spiritually open, but skeptical.”
Not surprisingly, Reid found any ally in hate in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Fellow liberal AOC sniped, “Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign.”
Joy Reid Sets Her Sights on ‘Racist’ Ron DeSantis
Reid’s mockery of the Jesus-themed Super Bowl ads was merely an amuse bouche before sinking her teeth into this week’s main entrée. Her whale of the week of Republican Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis has made himself a prime target of leftist media with his sweeping reforms that run counter to the current liberal agenda. So of course, this is not Reid’s first time attacking the popular Republican governor.
Reid invited MSNBC analyst former Republican congressman who left the party David Jolly to join in her DeSantis bashing. Reid starts by accusing DeSantis of directly and specifically attacking “black people, brown immigrants, gay & trans people.” Jolly piles on by calling “dangerous” and suggesting the Republican wants to take America back 50 years.

Reid then doubled down on her attacks against DeSantis in another MSNBC appearance.
“Ron DeSantis has been waging a full-scale war against the black past and only the black past, and I think that’s an important point… DeSantis is hurting students who aren’t black…It’s illegal to make white people feel uncomfortable in Florida,” she said.
