Right Wing Host Claims Joy Reid Stole Trump’s Hair: ‘Cultural-Appropriated-Hair'
Joy Reid called a right-wing troll "a f**king idiot" after he suggested that the MSNBC anchor stole Donald Trump's hairstyle.
Reid was walking outside the Manhattan courthouse where Trump's criminal hush-money trial was being held when she was approached by Ben Bergquam, the host of "Law & Border" on the right-wing network Real America's Voice.
In a video shared Wednesday by Bergquam, the smirking TV host asked the liberal commentator, "Joy, just wondering: Do you think people with 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' know they have it?"
But Reid did not take his provocative comment lying down, responding, "You're an idiot."

Bergquam then took a jab at the "ReidOut" host's short blonde hair, suggesting she was copying the former president-turned-convicted felon.
"Did you steal Trump's haircut or did he steal yours?" Bergquam asked her.
Reid continued walking as she shot back, "You're a f**king idiot."
Bergquam, however, smiled, seemingly happy to have gotten a response from Reid.
"Cultural-appropriation haircut, right there," Bergquam said as Reid walked into the courthouse.
Bergquam continued to troll Reid in a post on X, formerly Twitter, writing: "EPIC video! Just got Trump-Deranged, Cultural-Appropriated-Hair, Joy Ann Reid as she was heading into the sham Trump trial in New York City! I don't think she liked the questions!!!"
He added, "P.s. MSNBC is #Fakenews!"
A day later, Trump supporters were no longer smiling after Trump was found guilty of all 34 charges in his hush-money trial.
Videos shared on X showed Trump fans expressing their outrage and hurling insults at the judge outside the courthouse after the ex-POTUS' guilty verdict was announced.
One man wearing a Make America Great Again hat on his head and a "F**k Biden" flag around his body shouted, "We're all f**king dead."
Others referenced 1776, the year Congress voted to declare independence.
Trump was convicted of falsifying business records to conceal hush money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election in exchange for her silence on her alleged sexual encounter with the former president and current presidential candidate.
The guilty verdict does not bar Trump from running for or serving as president for a second term.
Trump faces a maximum sentence of four years in prison. but according to the Washington Post, legal experts believe he is unlikely to see jail time as he was convicted of nonviolent felonies and had no prior convictions.
Trump's sentencing has been scheduled for July.
