MSNBC’s Joy Reid suggested that Florida has devolved into an “extremist right-wing, fascist type government,” while railing against the failure of Amendment 4 ballot measure that would’ve enshrined abortion rights into the state’s constitution.
“It’s a pure Project 2025 in miniature in Florida,” Reid vented on an MSNBC election night panel. “That kind of extremist right-wing, fascist-type government in Florida — does that make it a more attractive place — or does it make it more like some of the other southern states that don’t get investment?”
Reid is widely known for her incendiary rhetoric against Republicans.
The Amendment 4 ballot measure would’ve needed to surpass a 60% threshold in order to go into effort but is widely projected to have come up short.
