Joy Reid claims DeSantis has turned Florida into a 'modern-day version of Jim Crow'

MSNBC’s Joy Reid labeled Florida the "modern-day version of Jim Crow" during her opening monologue on "The ReidOut" Wednesday.

Reid launched into a lengthy attack on Florida as run by the Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, "We begin tonight with Florida, which I would argue, even with Texas existing, has emerged as the modern state in this country that comes the closest to a modern-day version of Jim Crow." 

"Just hear me out," she continued. "If there’s a state that better exemplifies the rot of MAGA Republican rule than the state of Florida that the governor has named in very Orwellian fashion ‘the free state of Florida,’ I honestly don’t know what it is."
