Joy-Ann Reed and Shireen Mitchell discuss "Black Bot" campaigns designed to discourage Black voters by focusing on reparations and criminal justice. The hosts mock the idea that Black voters asking for "tangibles" in exchange for their vote are Russian assets. They also note P. Diddy's quick endorsement of Harris after previously threatening to hold the Black vote "hostage."
Joy Reid and Shireen Mitchell on MSNBC presented a list of "disinformation campaigns" targeting black voters, including ADOS, Blexit, and "Tangibles." They claimed that accounts using black vernacular to discuss reparations or criminal justice are likely "fake accounts" or bots. Mo and Adam react with disbelief, calling it a desperate attempt to tell black voters to ignore their own interests.
Shireen Mitchell's accusations against ADOS leaders are reviewed, specifically the claim that they use reparations as a "weapon" to help Donald Trump. The hosts address the mention of Yvette Carnell wearing a MAGA hat, clarifying it was done as a joke rather than a sincere endorsement of the president.
A clip from Joy Reid's show featuring Shireen Mitchell discusses the theory that ADOS activists are actually bots or bad actors mimicking black vernacular. The hosts argue this "bot" narrative was created to protect candidates like Kamala Harris from legitimate criticism regarding their records and lineage.
