Politico raised eyebrows Thursday night with its description of Alice Marie Johnson, who spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of President Trump after being granted clemency while serving a life sentence. On Thursday evening, Politico tweeted about her RNC speech, but one phrase stood out from the rest of the post. "Alice Johnson is no one's prop. Other media outlets have demeaned the presence of Black RNC speakers. MSNBC host Joy Reid endorsed that article, saying Black people were "trotted out to make white [sic] Americans feel good about white [sic] nationalism."
