Joy Reid Apologizes For Her ‘Homophobic’ Blog Posts

MSNBC’s sweetheart Joy Reid (what’s with so many insufferable liberals being named “Joy”? Have you noticed that?) has been under fire lately. Someone unearthed a bunch of Joy’s old “homophobic” blog posts. In them, she mocks former Florida governor Charlie Crist for trying to cover up his gayness. (He doesn’t claim to be gay, FYI.) She wrote stuff like, “Miss Charlie, Miss Charlie. Stop pretending, brother. It’s okay that you don’t go for the ladies” and “I can just see poor Charlie on the honeymoon, ogling the male waiters and thinking to himself, ‘god, do I actually have to see her naked…?’”

1/x From 2007 to 2009 @joyannreid authored a dozen homophobic posts not only attempting to out Charlie Crist as gay, she attacked & mocked him for being so.

She repeatedly referred to him as "Miss Charlie" and tagged posts about him under "gay politicians." (thread) pic.twitter.com/tRYvJ3lTc8

Joy has issued an apology.

“This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized,” Reid said in a statement.

“Among the frequent subjects of my posts was then-governor Charlie Crist, at the time a conservative Republican, whose positions on issues like gay marriage and adoption by same-sex couples in Florida shared headlines with widely rumored reports that he was hiding his sexual orientation,” Reid wrote.

“At no time have I intentionally sought to demean or harm the LGBT community, which includes people whom I deeply love. My goal, in my ham-handed way, was to call out potential hypocrisy,” Reid continued.

OH. So you were trying to demonstrate absurdity by being absurd? Wow. You really suck at that, Joy. Definitely don’t try to do that anymore.

“In addition to friends and coworkers and viewers, I deeply apologize to Congressman Crist, who was the target of my thoughtlessness. My critique of anti-LGBT positions he once held but has since abandoned was legitimate in my view. My means of critiquing were not,” she wrote.

“Re-reading those old blog posts, I am disappointed in myself. I apologize to those who also are disappointed in me. Life can be humbling. It often is. But I hope that you know where my heart is, and that I will always strive to use my words for good. I know better and I will do better,” she added.

She’ll do better, you guys. She’s going to be nice and not hate people simply for being conservative. HAHAHA JK. Not gonna happen.
