On Saturday morning, five days after Joy Reid was accused of authoring a series of homophobic blog posts that were unearthed by a Twitter user, the MSNBC host apologized for the controversy but said that she still doesn't think she wrote the posts in question.
"Here's what I know: I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things," she said on AM Joy. (snip)
On Monday, when Mediaite asked Reid about the blog posts, she said "an unknown, external party accessed and manipulated material from my now-defunct blog." On Wednesday night, her lawyer confirmed the FBI was investigating "potential criminal activities surrounding several online accounts" belonging to Reid.
But, on Saturday, Reid admitted that the posts don't appear to have been the result of hacking or tampering.
"When a friend found them in December and sent them to me, I was stunned," she said "Frankly, I couldn't imagine where they'd come from or whose voice this was. The reality is they have not been able to prove it."
To further get across the message, Reid convened a panel of gay rights advocates to discuss the controversy.
While she didn't take credit for the blog posts, she admitted that she's written and tweeted hurtful, anti-gay things in the past, and pledged to do better. "I looked back on some of the ways I've talked casually about sexual gender and orientation and I wonder who that even was," she said.
Reid continued: "I'm heartbroken that I didn't do better back then. The reality is I have to own the things I've written and tweeted and said."
Now that Reid has admitted that she doesn't appear to have been hacked, it's unclear what will happen to the FBI investigation into the matter.

Or the “Chewbecca Defense”
“If Chewbacca lives on Endor, then I didn’t write those things.”
She believes so many things that aren’t true. What is one more thing? ;-)
Delusional hateful lib liar.
She must be pleading not guilty by reason of permanent insanity — after all, that’s pretty much what liberalism is…
It seems that all these leftists named’ ‘Joy’ are full of anything but; more like $#!++ or raw hatred.

How long before the political ‘I have evolved’ excuse?
Headline: MSNBC’s Joy Reid Says “I Genuinely Do Not Believe I Wrote Those Hateful Things”
Personal to Joy Reid: I genuinely do not believe you. You’re full of sh!t. It’s a bitch to get caught, isn’t it?
Gezzz, what damn liar this one is...
“I didn’t not NOT say those things’’.
Hey, it worked for hillary 32 times in her so-called FBI interview.
I just remembered Tom Brokaw grabbed my behind.
But you genuinely believe that everything about President Trump is true and that everything Stormy Daniels says is true and that President Trump is a racist and a Nazi and that etc etc etc
#cow
Stop the Joy Reid postings and she will disappear...
More Trump-Russian collusion!
