After MSNBC host Joy Reid was fired from her position, Chicago pastor Otis Moss III led a prayer in her honor. In the clip, he lists off a laundry list of woke causes and figures. Reid, who is infamous for her over-the-top rhetoric, posted a tearful video addressing her firing earlier today. She doubled down on her woke values and said that her show was ‘Of God.’
“Gracious and most merciful God. First, we give you thanks for abundant, powerful, courageous, and fierce Joy. We thank you for the creativity and brilliance of Joy Reid,” he began. ” May you, oh God, in this moment, may you awaken within us, all of us, to be powerful truth-tellers, that we may be able to speak truth power.” Moss then listed a number of radical left-wing figures.
“May the wisdom of Ida B Wells and Julian Cooper, Fannie Lou Hamer, Sati MC Clark, pray, Thea Hall, Shirley, Chisholm, Shepherd, with the power of Mamie Till Mobley rests upon our hearts, may we stand with 10 toes down with an unapologetic liberation centered spirit, may we have the spiritual power to be able to banish every Confederate ghost and antebellum fanboy and authoritarian arsonist who is seeking to burn down the unfinished cathedral of democracy in this country,” he dramatically entoned.
“We ask, Oh God, that you would allow us to receive the power that flows from our ancestors and from you give us spiritual endurance during this fight,” Moss reiterated. ” We are called to do good in this moment, in this time, and pass on the baton to the next generation. This is a continual fight.” The woke pastor then launched into a bizarre analogy.
“They’ve been fighting this fight since we witnessed the injection of a viral agent in this yet-to-be United States of America called COVID 1619, that continues to mutate every single generation, that causes us to continue to fight and inoculate our children so that they may grow and develop into the human beings that you have called them to be, not what portions of America want them to be,” Moss melodramatically prayed.
“Strengthen us in this moment, we may do the work, and there will be a generation not yet born that will be able to look back and say there lived a people who stood 10 toes down to fight and be able to place another brick on the unfinished cathedral of democracy in these yet to be United States of America,” he concldued. ” This is our prayer this night, we once again give you thanks for abundant Joy the people of God, who love God, who’ve gathered on this zoom call may say, Amen.”
In her original post, Reid said, “…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’ve done nothing but come to this country like my parents did and try to make a life and defended them,” she added. “Um, 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, [banning] books that he’ll find inconvenient,” Reid added. “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 that, those are the things that I was taught were of God, and so I’m not sorry, I’m just proud of My show. Your Show,” she finally concluded.
