MSNBC's Joy Reid issued an apparent trigger warning before airing a clip of Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) speaking on the Senate floor using the word "redskins" in reference to the NFL team, Washington Redskins.

Just before Reid played the clip of the senator, she issued this warning:

I'll just warn people -- he does use the name of the team, so I'm just going to warn you guys about that in advance.

"Triggering," as seen in this previous TruthRevolt report, is the result of viewing or hearing content that triggers the memory of a past trauma, making a "trigger warning" necessary. Trigger warnings gained popularity on feminist and social justice blogs, as well as college campuses, as a way to warn people before they face content that could provoke a stress response.

And now, the "Right to Not Be Offended" has made its way to MSNBC, in what The Washington Free Beacon is calling a historical first for an on-air trigger warning.
