MSNBC's Joy Reid Scolds NeverTrump Guest For Saying 'Illegal Alien' During Anti-Trump Screed

After beginning the segment by fretting over a new ad supporting President Donald Trump on the congressional impasse over immigration by highlighting the dangers of allowing illegal immigrants access to the country, she likened it to the Willie Horton ad of 1988, and soon turned to Republican strategist Evan Siegfried, posing: "Is it wise ... for Republicans to essentially run on 'brown people are murderers, rapists and killers, and therefore do not belong in America'?"

Showing his liberal side, Siegfried claimed that it is not "conservative" to build a border wall because it requires seizing private property -- as if conservatives somehow oppose all eminent domain seizures even when they genuinely are in the public interest. The liberal Republican inadvertently pushed Reid's PC button as he accurately used the words "illegal alien."

The far-left MSNBC host jumped in to lecture him:

Well, we're going with undocumented immigrants. I think we're going to go with that -- it's definitely the right -- I mean, we're trying to change the conversation around here, right? There's certain terminology even -- like "chain migration" and "illegal aliens." It's a throwback conversation that does feel like -- it feels almost like the '80s.
