Why The Joy Reid Blog Scandal Matters
IBD ^ | Editorial

Posted on 04/28/2018 7:35:16 AM PDT by Hojczyk

10 years ago when she was a relatively unknown journalist in Florida is immaterial. She's said worse things since becoming a national fixture at MSNBC (none of which landed her in hot water with her network). A small sampling:

After President Trump won the election, Reid declared that rural Americans are "the core threat to our democracy."

She attacked Rep. Steve Scalise while he was fighting for his life after being shot by a Bernie Sanders supporter.

Reid falsely claimed that Trump was hiring minority actors for his rally in Phoenix, Ariz.

She dismissed the murderous MS-13 as "a gang that nobody who doesn't watch Fox News has ever heard of."

She once viciously attacked National Review's David French based on a quote she entirely made up

So to sum up:

Either Reid is telling the truth, despite her shifting and increasingly incredulous claims. Or she has flat out lied to the public and — as a bonus — is now wasting FBI resources. Or maybe she's delusional about her own past views and writings.

If turns out that she lied to protect her left-wing reputation, MSNBC should show her the door. If she knowingly diverted FBI resources to investigate a bogus hacking claim, she should face legal consequences.

Either way, the network and the liberal press can't let Reid brush this under the rug.

Gee, and I thought Martha Stewart said that Lying to the FBI was a Felony and you ALWAYS go to JAIL for it. Was I mistaken??

Only conservatives have to follow the law. Hillary,Chelsea,Obama,Mueller,Comey and the rest have a Get Out of Jail Free card that is still in force.

This AM she launches a lame apology then brings on 4 gay activists to tell her how brave she is. I get a laugh every weekend from this craps.

I don't think it's an either-or choice.

If a made-up charge against a two-star Admiral is enough to sink his nomination then actually TRUE cases of lying by a media yakker matters.

WHY would the FBI be involved in this case under any scenario?

Did she commit a crime 12 years ago?

No.

Was there something in the Federal laws that were broken in any way?

No.

Did she hold the majority view at the time?

Yes.

At worst, she held the same views as Barack Obama.

So the FBI is investigating, WHAT, exactly?

That will save time, since she's obviously lying. She lies constantly. She's a liar. She's lying now to try to protect her overpaid job on a failed agitprop network. Thanks Hojczyk.

Joy can't play the race card against the ‘gay community’ because their card is bigger and backed by large sums of MONEY... BIG DONATIONS TO THE DEMOCRAT PARTY.

Joy's card is backed by white guilt and "victim-hood" pity parties. That twofer card only works if the person playing it can convincingly present themselves as a fellow victim.

Joy can't do that anymore.

Same problem the fake indian has... Warren can't be 'for the oppressed AND be a person who ripped them off...

It's impossible for liberals to salvage the duel power of Joy's race card... and without that her spiel falls flat.
