A resurfaced clip from Joy Reid’s December 5, 2025, Crooked Media podcast rant accused America’s Founding Fathers of being “killers” who slaughtered 90% of indigenous people and “leeches” who learned survival from them before murdering and displacing them. She further claimed their “entitlement” to own slaves led to the Revolutionary War over British taxes.
Conservatives erupted on X, slamming her as anti-American and hypocritical. One comment decried her “hate,” which was ironically enabled by those founders, another called out her “I hate white people” bias, and finally, one user questioned why America tolerates such “poisonous” rhetoric.
Starting off her racist rant, the failed TV host whined, “So, you know, this nation was founded by killers who slaughtered 90% of the indigenous people, leeches who glommed off of the indigenous to taught (sic) them how to survive in the wilderness, and then murdered them as their things, and then took all their land.”
Concluding her vile screed, she layered on insults with a bizarre rant about taxation policies, saying, “And you want to talk about entitlement, they felt entitled to own other people, and they didn’t even want to pay taxes on it, so they decided to have a whole war with Britain.”
However, when the clip surfaced on social media, conservatives were outraged by her inappropriate comments. Joy Reid just called the men who founded this country ‘killers and leeches’ on national TV. These are the same men who risked everything so she could sit there and spew that hate… Take your anti-American poison somewhere else. We the People are DONE listening. 🇺🇸🫡🔥” one account noted.
Pointing out her anti-American bias, another posted, “Every nation in the world was founded by killers who conquered the indigenous people. And slavery still exists today in parts of the world. I never hear Joy talk about that… Sick of Joy Reid’s ‘I hate white people’ mantra. It’s old and tired.”
“Democrats today. Joy Reid: ‘This nation was founded by kiIIers and leeches’… What nation, but America would allow haters of their country to spew vicious, poisonous, anti admin in power, filth over their public airways?” a conservative asked.

This is far from her only vile statement, as we reported at the American tribune, Joty Reid went on an absurd rant where she degraded the republican party as well as Vice President JD Vance’s wife, Usha. “They can’t have the successor to MAGA be the guy with the Brown Hindu wife. They’re also Christian nationalists. That ain’t going to work. That’s why he’s throwing his wife under the bus. Poor Usha. Or she’s in on it,” she alleged in a recent podcast.
