Piers Morgan brutally mocks Joy Reid for playing ‘the race card ‘ for her firing
On Thursday, Reid appeared on Morgan's show and was shown a video of herself crying about her dismissal from the left-leaning network.
Despite MSNNC citing Reid's declining ratings for her firing, the former host believed she was fired from the network because of her skin colour.
During the interview, Morgan called out Reid and asserted that she was fired because she became 'increasingly unpopular'.
'Now, Joy. Look, let's be honest. I don't think you were fired after all those years because of your skin colour. Or because you're a black woman,' Morgan said.
'I think you were fired because your show got increasingly unpopular - it happens all the time in TV. That's why you got let go. Why play the race card?'

Is Eagles star Harley Reid back on the market?
Speculation is mounting West Coast young gun Harley Reid has split from his AFLW star girlfriend Yasmin Duursma. Reid and Duursma — who plays for Carlton — have been together since January last year. It comes with the Eagles star at the centre of hot contract speculation, with reports emerging this week his management has put forward a deal that could keep him in Western Australia long-term. The rising star has removed Duursma's initials from his Instagram bio, while Duursma has removed pictures of the pair from her own feed. PerthNow contacted Reid for a comment. Fans flooded the comments of her recent TikTok post, where she was dancing with friends. In the background, Duursma was watching Carlton's clash with Melbourne, rather than Reid's Eagles taking on Richmond at the same time. When one commentor suggested why Duursma was not watching Reid's game, she replied: 'you watch it'. Duursma has returned to Melbourne for pre-season training after spending large parts of this year living in Perth with Reid.

The pair made their red carpet debut at last year's Brownlow Medal after going public on TikTok in April last year. Reid is the hottest property in football right now, with Victorian clubs itching to lure him back to his home State. He is contracted to West Coast for next season, but clubs are desperate to lock him down beyond that initial deal. Reid's management has reportedly put forward multiple proposals that could keep the 20-year-old at West Coast. One of the deals could shake out to a $20 million contract over 10 years. Reid also remains a target of powerful clubs from his home state Victoria, lead by Geelong — who he supported as a youngster — and Hawthorn.
