On Friday, MSNBC host Joy Reid, the woman who hailed Hillary Clinton as the most qualified presidential candidate since the founding fathers and served as a reliable cheerleader for Barack Obama, threw aside any sense of irony as she accused Republicans of being “sycophants” for President Trump.

Raising the question of whether Trump was in any “political jeopardy” following James Comey’s testimony in the Russia investigation, Reid surprisingly declared: “I would argue no.” However, she launched her attack on the GOP while explaining her opinion: “...he has a party that is so supine, that are such sycophants. You saw Marco Rubio do the dance yesterday. They’re all in his service, they’re his stewards. So he isn’t in any political jeopardy at the moment.”

She went on to claim that all of the President’s tweets and public statements on the matter were placing him in legal jeopardy: “But listening to all of this...what he’s actually doing, reading what he’s actually tweeting is a guy named Robert Mueller....He isn’t blind to what Trump is doing. So Trump needs to be careful that he’s not digging himself a legal hole by continuing to speak.”

Earlier in the segment, anchor Katy Tur openly mocked Trump: “Joy, how long is this argument that the President is just new to this gonna last?...this is not as a bank teller, it’s not a job as a – you know, even a cub reporter in a small local station. This is – this is the President of the United States...”

Reid sneered: “Yeah, and Fifth Avenue has no pumpkin trucks....And so the idea that he’s now essentially reduced to a child-like state because he doesn’t understand right from wrong and he doesn’t know when he’s doing obstruction, is absurd.”
