MSNBC’s host of ‘AM Joy’, JoyAnn Reid stepped on rake after she angrily demanded why U.S. troops were in Niger following the death of four U.S. Special Operators. She also compared the Niger attack to Benghazi.
Bad move.
Ms. Reid never thinks before she speaks which is why she is known for her ignorant remarks. Obama sent the Special Ops troops to Niger in February of 2013 according to a Reuters report.
According to Reuters reported:
Obama, in a letter to congressional leaders, said the last 40 of the approximately 100 military personnel had arrived in Niger on Wednesday and were “deployed with weapons for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security.”
“This deployment will provide support for intelligence collection and will also facilitate intelligence sharing with French forces conducting operations in Mali, and with other partners in the region,” the president said.
And it would be nice if another journalist would follow with the question: “what are American special forces doing in Niger?”

Again, she is demanding to know what U.S. special forces are doing in Niger…

Dumb as a brick JoyAnn Reid popped off asking, “Again: why are US troops in Niger? And why haven’t the relevant Republican committee chairs scheduled hearings?”

Reid also compared the Niger attack to Benghazi. They are two completely different situations. Trump didn’t claim it was caused by a YouTube video nor give stand down orders allowing our men to die. How dare she compare this to Benghazi.
Also, where are all the Benghazi obsessives now that we have lost for special forces troops in Niger? Anyone? Hearings? Any interest at all?

And Twitter responded…
First, Benghazi hero Army Ranger Kris Paronto slammed Reid, “Do you know my name Joy? … how about my teammates that were left to die along with me by your messiahs @BarackObama & @HillaryClinton”
