    MSNBC’s Joy Reid warned Black voters this week they will look “real crazy” and “real weird” if they decide to support anyone but Vice President Kamala Harris in November.

    Reid took to TikTok on issue to celebrate the “stratospheric entrance” of Harris into the presidential race following President Joe Biden stepping down from his reelection campaign.

    “Given just the stratospheric entrance of Vice President Kamala Harris into the presidential campaign, and she has now secured enough delegates to become the nominee, you’re going to look real crazy being on the other side of that line, particularly as a person of color, but really as anyone who claims to have any connection to the culture,” Reid said.

    Black voters and people who claim to “have any connection to that culture” will be “lonely” voting for someone over Harris, Reid continued.

    “You’re going to look real weird and real lonely on that side. You’re really going to look crazy being on that side given the cultural phenomenon of Vice President Kamala Devi Harris,” she said. “She’s about to make history. She’s about to become the first woman president.”

    Harris has not yet been officially nominated by the Democratic Party but, as Reid noted, she’s already secured the delegates needed to jump to the top of the ticket. Donald Trump has already secured his party’s nomination, and Reid also wants voters to cold shoulder others running, which includes independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , as well as Libertarian Chase Oliver , and Green Party’s Jill Stein .

    Reid then took a brief shot at Amber Rose , a biracial model who spoke at the Republican National Convention last week. Reid said Rose “looked crazy over there” and the door should be “shut behind her.”

    It wasn’t the first time Reid targeted Rose, before covering her speech by saying she’s “not Black” and accusing her of being used by Republicans to score cheap points with young voters.

    Rose snapped back at the MSNBC, accusing her of using her platform to race-bait.

    “Hi @JoyAnnReid I’ve never said I wasn’t black I said I identify as biracial. I’m not going to invalid my white father to make you feel more comfortable. Stop being a race baiter ur president does enough race baiting for all of us,” Rose wrote .

    During her speech, Rose pushed back against critics calling Trump “racist.”

    “The truth is that the media has lied to us about Donald Trump. I know this because for a long time, I believed those lies,” she said .
