MSNBC’s Joy Reid is on a roll, using her 7 p.m. ET program to take on vaccine-skeptical celebrities. Thursday’s target was NBA player Kyrie Irving, who won’t be playing with his team this year, as the Brooklyn Nets’ home court is in New York, where vaccines are mandatory to enter gyms and entertainment venues.
“The new anti-vax poster child, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving, went on Instagram Live on Wednesday to ramble — I mean speak — for the first time since his team told him he was barred from playing until he got the shot,” the “ReidOut” host explained to her audience, airing a clip of Irving saying he chose to remain unvaccinated but doesn’t see his decision as political.
