Reid: “My show had value. And that — I’m sorry — that what I was doing had value, had value. And in the end — I’m sorry, I try not to cry on TV, and this is kind of like being on TV, so I apologize. And that — and that it kind of — and that it mattered. I think Karen is there and she’s been texting me as well. And so, what I will just say is that in the end — thank you — where I land is that the moment that I, of guilt that I felt that I went hard on so many issues, whether it was the Black Lives Matter issues of a young baby or a mom or dad that was killed, or when we opened up people’s eyes to the fact that Asian Americans were being targeted, and not just black folks, that — or went hard for immigrants who have done nothing but come to this country, like my parents did, and try to make a life and defended them, or whether we’ve talked about what the president is doing that is subversive to the Constitution, that is injurious to our liberty, you know, defending books that people find inconvenient. You know, that Nikole Hannah-Jones put into our spirit that we need to understand 1619 as the real founding of this country, whether it’s talking about any of these issues. And, yes, whether it’s talking about Gaza and the fact that we as the American people have a right to object, have a right to object to little babies being bombed. And where I come down on that is, I’m not sorry. I am not sorry that I stood up for those things, because those things are of God. And, you know, I’m a church girl, too, and those — those are the things that I was taught were of God, and so, I’m not sorry. I’m just proud of my show.”
