Welcome back. Let's take a moment to talk about one of the largest national stories right now,

the tragic death of Gabby Petito, a young travel vlogger who died on a trip with her fiance, Brian

Laundry, who's currently a person of interest in her case. In response to the wide coverage for Gabby

and the ongoing investigation, one MSNBC host, Joy Reid, had a big problem with the case. So let's

body had been found. Daughter's body was found cold alone and in a forest 2,000 miles away from home.

A daughter that she loved every single day for 22 years. If you're first instinct, when you hear

the innocent young girl's entire life of her was brutally murdered, your first instinct is to

offer commentary about the color of her skin. I want you to know something Joy, you are a monster.

Something has gone horribly wrong with you. There really is no other way to say it. We will get
