The University of Iowa hosted loony MSNBC host Joy Reid and reportedly paid her $55K for a campus speech.
This happened in 2023 but the details are just becoming known now. What message did Reid share with students? That Republicans are just like the Nazis? That Florida is a fascist state? That white men and Christians are evil?
Now is a good time to remember that all hell breaks loose every single time a conservative so much as sets foot on a college campus, but a wacko like Reid gets paid over $50,000 and no one says a word?
Campus Reform broke the story:
University of Iowa paid MSNBC host Joy Reid $55k to speak on campus: EXCLUSIVE
The University of Iowa paid progressive MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid $55,000 to address students in February 2023, according to public records obtained by Campus Reform.
A contract signed by Reid and the University of Iowa outlines the financial terms of the agreement which includes the flat rate fee of $55,000, as well as deems the university liable for various other non-essential accommodations.
“In addition the Fee, [the University of Iowa] shall provide ground transportation via University Car Service and pay for first-class hotel accommodations, meals, and incidentals for Speaker and one other person.”
Reid is the host of The ReidOut on MSNBC where she frequently criticized conservative figures including Donald Trump. She also previously worked on the Barack presidential campaign in 2008.
Students were offered a maximum of two free tickets to attend “An Afternoon with Joy Reid” on Feb 19, last year, at the Hancher Auditorium. The event was organized by the University Lecture Committee (ULC) and sponsored by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority.
This is the type of rhetoric Reid casually spews on MSNBC on a daily basis.

Iowa is a solidly red state but apparently, those politics don’t extend to the campus of the University of Iowa.
