In reply to the discussion: Joy Reid, an anti gay bigot, let Jason Johnson lie to our faces about a gay candidate [View all]Dr Hobbitstein
(6,568 posts)13. Neither post were doctored.
The screen caps were underlined to emphasize, but those original blog entries existed in the Wayback Machine. So unless someone hacked her blog AND the Wayback Machine (pro-tip, didnt happen), youre just defending someone who has proven not to be an ally of lgbtq people.
Not to mention she has NEVER apologized for this.

You repeatedly falsely denied she ever made an apology. So, I ask, what does that make YOU?

You repeatedly lied about her apologies. Documented with links in prior posts. Shame on you.

You don't have to accept the apologies, but you don't get to falsely deny they were made.

"I do not believe I wrote that" means she doesn't believe because she doesn't belive those views
