MSNBC ’s Joy Reid unequivocally condemned President Donald Trump for removing his face mask on his return to the White House on Monday night, saying she was “disgusted.” 

Trump faced backlash over the barefaced stunt he performed in front of the cameras following three days in Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment of his coronavirus illness.

“I am speechless. I am stunned. I have to be honest with you, I’m disgusted by what I just saw,” said Reid, host of “The ReidOut.”

“This man is contagious,” she added.

Trump, Reid pointed out, “just exposed his Secret Service agents,” who she described as “true professionals” who would “in every moment of their job would take a bullet for the president, not take one from the president.” 

“There are moments in this job when you realize that you are witnessing some of the great horrors of history,” Reid said on the show , adding: “This is the most irresponsible thing I’ve ever seen a president do.”

Trump faced similar accusations of endangering his protective services on Sunday, when he left the hospital to ride around in his armored SUV with Secret Service agents.
