Charlie Hurt Slams Joy Reid’s Thanksgiving Comments: ‘She’s Such an Idiot’

EXCERPT:

HURT: "(Laughs) Yeah, you thought you had an argument at Thanksgiving. My goodness. You know, she’s such an idiot. I come from a part of the country in Virginia where early settlers had — were trading partnering with the Sappony Indians and they were — and if she knew anything about history — and she knows nothing, she’s an idiot — if she knew anything she’d know there were very deep, important ties, trading ties between early settlers and Native Americans. But that aside — and forget, you know, the American tradition of Thanksgiving, which is a beautiful tradition and it is based in reality, in real history, but just think about it in terms of what a wonderful way to go through life. The most important thing to do is to have gratitude. These people like that woman, she’s miserable. Could you imagine spending Thanksgiving with somebody so miserable as that? And if she learned to embrace gratitude, I think she would be a happier person."
