MSNBC host Joy Reid rightfully came for the white Christians who led Donald Trump to victory at the Iowa caucuses, where Trump acquired 51 percent of the vote with 99 percent of votes counted.
On Monday, Reid explained that Iowa is around 61 percent white Christian, though America is 41 percent white Christian. She talked about the inherent entitlement this demographic possesses, which is the reason they support Trump.

“All the things that we think about, about electability, about what are people gaming out, but none of that matters when you believe that God has given you this country, that it is yours, and that everyone who is not a White, conservative Christian is a fraudulent American, is a less real American,” she stated. “Then you don’t care about electability. You care about what God has given you.”
Reid also stated that certain white evangelical Christians believe “that they own this country, that immigrants, that brown people, that Hindus like Vivek Ramaswamy and his wife are illegitimate Americans. They are less legitimate Americans than they are.”
Reid is simply stating what we’ve already seen with Trump’s presidency — he embodied and perpetuated white supremacist ideals in his words and policies. The MSNBC personality regularly speaks out on the evils of the Republican Party — and what happened in Iowa is a dangerous reminder of them.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis got around 21 percent of the vote and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received 19 percent.
“We want to come together, whether it’s Republican or Democrat or liberal or conservative,” Trump said in his victory speech. “We’re going to come together. It’s going to happen soon.”
