Joy Reid blasted President Donald Trump’s Justice Department (DOJ) as ‘absolutely insane’ after it brought a sweeping federal indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
The DOJ accused the group of secretly funneling millions of dollars to extremist organizations including the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC said the payments were to informants embedded with the groups.
Former MSNBC star Reid used her show to sharply criticize the case unveiled by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, which alleges the civil rights nonprofit defrauded donors by paying informants.
