Wednesday, during MSNBC’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention, MSNBC host Joy Reid touted how the “men of the Democratic Party” were portraying themselves, which she called a “21st century masculinity.”
Reid’s remarks following Democrat vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz’s (D-MN) speech at the convention were very similar to those of CNN’s Dana Bash, who relayed a similar sentiment around the same time.
“[I]t’s important for him as the football coach to be the faculty partner of the LGBTQ gay-straight alliance,” Reid said. “That’s something important for me to do because if a coach is doing it, it’s going to have more salience, right? It’s going to help kids not get bullied. I mean, what’s really been fascinating is to watch the men of the Democratic Party model a kind of masculinity that is simply 21st century masculinity.”
