Back in December, someone sleuthed up a bunch of old homophobic posts Joy Reid had written on her pre-fame blog.
She quickly apologized, liberals turned a hypocritical blind eye, (NO conservative would get away with that kind of garbage without being burned at the stake) and that was that.
Then, all of a sudden, she took the apology BACK and said she had been hacked. None of it was her fault. She didn’t even write it.
HMM. That set off some MAJOR red flags for me. WHY did she apologize if she KNEW she didn’t write it?
If someone said to me “Kimber, we found a bunch of posts where you said X, Y, Z” I’d immediately know if I actually wrote them, because I KNOW MYSELF. I know what I would write about… And so does she. Which is why I know she’s a lying sack of crap. You don’t apologize for something you KNOW you had nothing to do with.
Anyway… it’s become PAINFULLY obvious that she just decided to rid herself of ALL accountability… because a MAJOR SH*T STORM is coming her way.
There’s a loooooot more homophobic crap than we first thought. And it’s BAAAAD.
MSNBC host Joy Reid denies that she wrote even more homophobic blog posts than originally reported, and blamed hackers for “fabricating” the latest series of anti-gay slurs that were just uncovered.
Yeah, ok. That’s why it all sounds EXACTLY LIKE THE REST OF HER WRITING.
Very intuitive “hackers.”
In December 2017, Reid apologized for writing homophobic blog posts before she joined MSNBC. In those articles, Reid repeatedly mocked former Florida governor Charlie Crist as “Miss Charlie” when she was an editor at black-centric website the Grio.
Reid thought it was hilarious to ridicule a man by suggesting he’s a homosexual and then trying to out him publicly.
“Miss Charlie, Miss Charlie. Stop pretending, brother. It’s okay that you don’t go for the ladies,” Reid crowed in a 2007 post about Crist.
Lame. But it gets waaaaay nastier.
Charlie Crist has never come out as gay, and he has been married twice — to women. And if he were gay, that would actually make him a liberal hero according to leftist orthodoxy, so why the mockery? Also, it’s nobody’s business or right to out someone who does not wish to be outed.
Joy Reid also suggested that Charlie Crist married women to promote his political career. Meanwhile, she has never condemned Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren for falsely claiming she was Native American to advance her career.
Why would she? Joy’s double standard is IRONCLAD.
After Reid apologized for making the anti-gay slurs in December 2017, the controversy died down…until April 18, 2018, when Twitter user Jamie Mazur pointed out:
“Joy Reid’s homophobic blog posts were far worse than 1st reported. They also had nothing to do with Republican hypocrisy on gay marriage. Joy also opposed gay marriage at the time. She gleefully accused people of being gay and posted a number of questionable things.”

Jamie Mazur also tweeted: “Joy writes that Karl Rove is known as Miss Piggy in Washington DC’s gay circles. Claims he is a leader of the gay Republican mafia.”

“Reidblog Classics” eh? Suuuuuurely that was just a hacker.
HAHA. Right.
Separately, Mazur pointed out that Reid also mocked U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Robert’s then-infant son.
Really?? Mocking a child? Of COURSE she does. Joy is full of CLASS, isn’t she?
Mazur quipped: “Joy writes a blog post about John Roberts’s son, links to some articles, and makes joking comments about him.”

Again a post that serves no purpose and has nothing to do with politics or Republicans’ position on gay marriage. pic.twitter.com/iW5Wb1z1dX

In another tweet, Mazur noted: “Instead of just writing about a Sean Hannity interview with Dick Cheney, Joy again goes for gay references and innuendo.”

In this latest dust-up, Joy Reid issued a statement to Mediaite on April 23, claiming the new barrage of anti-gay posts were written by an “external party” that “manipulated material from my now-defunct blog.”
That’s when @Jamie_Maz and the Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra noticed something even more suspicious: the links to Reid’s old blog were disappearing from the internet archive site The Wayback Machine. Gee…that doesn’t sound like a cover-up at all.
Wow, the @internetarchive is removing documentation of @JoyAnnReid‘s homophobic slurs and insults. https://t.co/4CFH2QfRfN pic.twitter.com/S0dQj2zfaU

LOVELY.
Now… It’ll be interesting to watch the left respond to this.
My bet is they’ll do their best to act like they believe the “hacking” bit… and then move on like nothing ever happened.
