Maury Povich didn\u2019t let former MSNBC host Joy Reid get away with claiming Democrats \u201cdo not play politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reid joined the former daytime talk show host for an episode of his podcast, \u201cOn Par,\u201d where the pair discussed politics. Unfortunately for the leftist guest, Povich wasn\u2019t about to let her get away with painting Democrats as the morally superior party.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, first of all, Democrats do not play politics the way Republicans do. The difference between the parties-\u201d Reid said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on. Joy, oh please,\u201d Povich scoffed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey do not, they do not,\u201d she shook her head. \u201cDemocrats play by the Marquis de Queensberry rules, I think, they\u2019re not rulebreakers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re trying to tell me, if Democrats take the Senate in 2027 and [Supreme Court Justice Samuel] Alito retires, and [President Donald] Trump names a Supreme Court justice, that Democrats are gonna have hearings and actually confirm him or her?\u201d Povich asked, clearly skeptical.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they would,\u201d she responded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot a chance,\u201d the host said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCan you imagine Chuck Schumer doing any of the things [Mitch] McConnell did? Of course not! They couldn\u2019t even hold out on a government shutdown because eight of them turned tail and gave in,\u201d Reid explained. \u201cDemocrats capitulate and they try to play by the rules. Republicans don\u2019t care about the rules, they rewrite the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

X users had plenty to say about that:<\/p>\n

Republicans literally have members of their own party that are actually undercover Democrats.<\/p>\n

Not 1 Democrat is secretly a Republican.<\/p>\n

The democrats have never read the rule book.<\/p>\n

If they have, its to learn how to abuse them.<\/p>\n
