MSNBC's Joy Reid dropped a bombshell on Monday. The host said it on a hot mic, but she probably thought it wasn't hot.
While this is not newsworthy in and of itself, the reason for this expletive may be an indication of a rift starting to form between sane people on the left and trigger-happy President Joe Biden. .

„Another damn war“
on her show lead outthe host was whining about Republican opposition to President Joe Biden's immigration „deal“ that includes billions of dollars going abroad.
Apparently, that wasn't the only thing on Reed's mind.

“President Biden said over the weekend that he is ready to take action if Congress is serious about solving the border issue.”
Mr. Reade's show aired a clip of Mr. Biden's speech in Columbia, South Carolina, on Saturday.
However, during a snippet of video, Reed appeared unaware that his microphone was still on and spoke:
BIDEN: If that bill were the law today, I would close the border now and fix it right away…and Congress needs to do it.
Reed: There's another war.
When she returned to the air, she first addressed Biden's comments and the immigration issue.
„He's still trying to break the deal,“ Reid said, referring to Trump. „He boasted that he was blocking his progress and said, 'Please, if you fail, blame him.'“
However, he eventually realized that what he thought he had said off-air had been communicated, addressed his comments, and apologized to viewers.
„Before I leave, I want to apologize right away,“ Reed said. „I was chatting while the clip was playing. As you know, we try to keep this show close to PG-13, so for those who were listening to my 'behind the scenes' chat, I would like to apologize. We sincerely apologize for this. ”
Perhaps her remark about „another fucking war“ was a reference to rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly regarding Israel and Gaza. In a related move, three US soldiers were killed in Jordan on Sunday by Iranian proxies, according to the Pentagon.
Biden has promised retaliation.

Then apologized for it.
