One thing that guests on Joy Reid‘s new weekend program AM Joy are learning is that Joy Reid does not play. Although she’s probably among the most genial hosts on cable TV, one regular feature of the show is Reid firmly calling out guests who argue in bad faith or persistently evade, or as it happened Saturday morning, try and sneak through a turd or two.

While discussing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump‘s popularity with the racist “alt-right,” pro-Trump guest Alfonso Aguilar tried to make an insinuation about Planned Parenthood, and like Gandalf standing on some cable news bridge of stone, Reid made it clear that he Shall. Not. Pass.

Joy Reid: He does control his own Twitter account, and he is retweeting white nationalists. Which, if you’re following them, and they’re somehow in the stream of your social media… Alfonso Aguilar: I think I could argue that is a double standard. Margaret Sanger… Joy Reid: That is not a double standard. You’re mentioning a dead person… Alfonso Aguilar: Planned Parenthood… Joy Reid: Planned Parenthood is not a eugenicist organization. I think that is incredibly offensive… Alfonso Aguilar: 52% of all abortions are performed on Latino and African-American… Joy Reid: Good gracious. Okay, I think that smear on Planned Parenthood cannot go forward, we are not going to continue with that line of questioning.

And that was that. Aguilar stayed on the panel, but that subject was closed like an urban polling place in a Republican state. Margaret Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood, who also held a variety of odious racial views.
