When the Joy Reid drama started back up a few days ago, I kind of assumed that like every liberal scandal it would be swept under the rug and she’d walk away from this without facing any real consequences.
NBC is certainly trying to make that happen.
But this has just gotten too big. It’s blowing up in Joy and NBC’s face… and it’s GLORIOUS.
“But Kimber, isn’t it her First Amendment right to say whatever she wants on her blog?”
Of course it is. But it’s the FLAMING DOUBLE STANDARD I’m tired of. Additionally, the First Amendment protects your right to Free Speech, it DOES NOT protect you from the consequences of that speech. (I really wish more people got that.)
First of all, I’m tired of this “Conservatives are homophobic” nonsense. Go through this site and read what I have personally written about gay people. Now go read Joy’s comments. I have made it CLEAR, time and time again, that I have no problem with gay people being gay, I think they should get married if they want to, and it’s really NONE OF MY BUSINESS. Heck, I even wrote about how much I like drag shows. Compare my comments to LIBERAL HERO Joy Reid’s, and explain to me why I am the one who constantly gets called a homophobe.
I’ll tell you why. It’s because I’m a Conservative. Easy as that. My ACTUAL values and beliefs don’t matter. They’ve got me pegged for whatever “-obe” and “-ist” words they want to stamp on me, with no real reason.
Additionally, the left has made a HOBBY out of destroying Conservative personalities’ careers. Laura Ingraham had an entire boycott waged against her for DARING to mention that Golden Hogg didn’t get into a certain college. Conservatives have their past searched with a fine tooth comb for ANY offense that can get them KICKED TO THE CURB. The left finds joy in this. Many Conservatives have had their careers decimated for FAR LESS than the garbage Joy Reid was putting out.
So there. THAT is why I want to see her face consequences. Because any Conservative in her position would have already been burned at the stake.
Tucker broke the “scandal” down on his show last night… It was fab.
According to Daily Caller:
Tucker Carlson kicked off his Wednesday night broadcast by dismantling Joy Ann Reid’s claims that homophobic blog posts recently surfaced from her now-defunct website were planted by hackers.
“She’s an icon on the progressive left,” The Daily Caller co-founder stated. “There is not a single, fashionable opinion that Joy Reid doesn’t have or isn’t happy to denounce you for not having. She’s a total star in Brooklyn.”
Carlson proceeded to detail the recent pickle Reid has found herself in. Namely, apparently lying about those aforementioned blog posts and doing so in a “childish manner.”
“In order for her claims to be true, which they are not, the secret hacking plot must have begun at least 12 years ago before anyone knew or cared who Joy Reid was,” he continued. “That’s a lie. It’s a childish lie. You would have to be a moron to believe it, yet she’s telling it.”
Still, Carlson said the “interesting part” is actually NBC News “endorsing all of this as true and trying to convince other people it’s true.”
“Keep in mind that NBC, which is passing this out to other news organizations, claims itself to be a news organization. New organizations are not supposed to lie. That’s rule one, and yet NBC executives make a habit of lying.”
BAHAHAHAHAHA.
This is all amazing.
And there’s not enough popcorn in the WORLD to get me through it…
