‘AM Joy’ Panel Blames NRA, the ‘Rise of Trumpism’ for Ahmaud Arbery Murder

The panel on Saturday’s edition of AM Joy wasted no time blaming the NRA as well as President Trump for the tragic shooting of unarmed African-American Glynn County, Georgia resident Ahmaud Arbery. Throughout the segment, host Joy Reid and the panel painted police officers as racists and repeatedly trashed those protesting the stay-at-home orders.

At the beginning of the segment, Reid delivered a monologue describing the “anti-lockdown protesters” as “angry, spittle-flecked, mostly men, mostly white, spewing respiratory droplets and indignation.” She also discussed the “necropolitics of the pandemic, the freedom to decide who gets to live and who has to die for me to get mine.”

According to Reid, “necropolitics” requires “a disproportionately black and brown labor force to return to work, get back on the wheel and risk death in order to serve” a “certain cohort of white guys” who believe they possess the “God-given right to get their roots done and order a steak at the restaurant and hit the golf course and the bar.”
