Teary MSNBC anchor Joy Reid remains defiant as she breaks silence after firing: ‘I’m not sorry’

An emotional Joy Reid said she’s “not sorry” that she “went hard on so many issues” as the Donald Trump-bashing anchor broke her silence after getting fired by MSNBC.

“I’ve been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment … guilt … that I let my team lose their jobs,” Reid rambled during a 10-minute Zoom call to the podcast “Win With Black Women” on Sunday.

The left-wing firebrand has been criticized for her remarks about white people, including referring to “white tears,” as well as a statement that white women “did not show up” to vote for former Vice President Kamala Harris in the recent election.

Her attacks led President Trump to cheer her ouster, calling Reid a “mentally obnoxious racist.”

But Reid remained defiant on the podcast, which was watched by some 10,000 viewers. 

“I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those things,” Reid said as she ticked off a list of issues that her show, “The ReidOut,” regularly covered, including Black Lives Matter, Asian Americans “being targeted,” Gaza and immigrants. 

“But in the end, where I really land … is just gratitude. Just pure gratitude and gratitude. Not just because people would take the time to get on a call like this or to take care of me. But also that my show had value.”

Reid was spotted wearing a fur-like coat and green baseball cap as she ducked out of her $1 million Maryland home in exclusive photos taken by The Post shortly after being fired Sunday.

Reid’s ouster was part of a broader revamp at the struggling cable station, which shuffled a number of other anchors and canceled shows hosted by Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang and Jonathan Capehart. 

The overhaul comes as new MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler, whose interim tag was removed this month, puts her stamp on the network after the exit of Rashida Jones.
