Jack Brewer files police report on Joy Reid for putting kids in ‘danger,’ demands apology
Retired NFL player and philanthropist Jack Brewer has filed a police report and sent a letter to MSNBC host Joy Reid demanding an apology over her claims young Black children associated with his education and mentorship programs were subjected to child abuse when pictured with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis during the signing of an anti-critical race theory bill.
“Ms. Reid’s reckless statements placed these kids in danger. Certain people motivated by Reid’s comments are furiously trying to figure out their identities,” Brewer wrote in his letter to Reid demanding a public apology by May 2. “The families are forced to deal with harassment by the media, and being shamed by members of the community, for their presence at the event. My foundation was forced to add security and police presence at our facilities.”
The letter was exclusively shared with Fox News Digital early Friday morning.
Brewer, founder of The Jack Brewer Foundation, also filed a police report with the Coral Springs Police Department this week, which was reviewed by Fox News Digital. Police officers are now present at Brewer’s facilities and are helping protect children commuting to and from tutoring and sports programs.
The letter and police report follow Reid retweeting a message from Florida state Sen. Shevrin Jones last Friday attacking DeSantis for Black children being photographed at the event where the governor signed the “Stop Woke” bill into law. The tweet included a photo focusing on three Black children holding anti-CRT signs, who are members of programs Brewer founded, including The Serving Institute and The Heroes program.
“This mis-use of Black boys is tantamount to child abuse. I would really like to hear the back-story on who these kids were and how they wound up at a DeSantis event. Given how anti-Black DeSantis is, using Black children this way is extra sick,” Reid said in her tweet.
“Ms. Reid should know the kids she exposed are victims of schools that limit their educational success based on their demographic makeup, as a result of public schools embracing CRT,” he continued.
Reid updated her tweet last weekend saying that sources informed her the boys in the photo were from a Miami charter school and claimed they may not have known why they were at the DeSantis event.
“Update: heard from a Florida source today that these Black boys who America’s most racist governor used as props came from a Miami charter school (I won’t name the school to spare them from MAGA harassment/threats) & that they may not have known in advance why they were there,” Reid wrote.
