Joy Reid, host of MSNBC’s “AM Joy,” claims her old blog was hacked after a Twitter user uncovered anti-gay comments on her blog.
Reid issued an apology last year for writing anti-gay slurs on her old blog. But she claims new offending comments that were recently uncovered were “fabricated”.
As reported by Splinter News, about a decade ago, when she was still a morning talk show host in South Florida, Reid edited a politics blog called The Reid Report. She used that blog to write a series of posts attempting to out then-Florida Governor Charlie Crist as gay, repeatedly referring to him as “Miss Charlie.”
She also suggested that if Crist made his way onto John McCain’s 2008 ticket, he would be too preoccupied doing things like picking out “flamingo-shaped napkins” to get anything done in the White House.
