MSNBC host Joy Reid blasted Republicans over a poll showing a majority of the party’s voters think President Donald Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln, which Reid said indicates they are a “racial and religious cult of personality.”

On Saturday morning’s edition of AM Joy, Reid devoted a segment to a new poll showing a majority of Republicans saying that Trump is a better president than Abraham Lincoln was. Reid asked Miami Herald columnist Leonard Pitts what he made of the results.

“Is there a brick wall I can bang my head against a few times?” Pitts joked, then added “I think it speaks further to the delusionary aspect of the Republican party right now. This is not a party, this is a cult, and it has been a call for a very long time.”

“And it wasn’t just this Abraham Lincoln quote, what was it a week or so ago, maybe not even that, that Rick Perry said the Trump was the chosen one? And he wasn’t even the first person to say that,” Pitts said.
