On Sunday, during a long rant against Attorney General William Barr, MSNBC anchor Joy-Ann Reid insinuated that the Department of Justice under the Trump administration might cover up the circumstances of the death of Jeffrey Epstein.
On Monday, Barr <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/craig-melvin/watch/ag-barr-we-re-learning-of-serious-irregularities-in-facility-where-jeffrey-epstein-died-65929285528">stated</a> that the case of Epstein was very important to him personally, adding, “Most importantly, this case was important to the victims, who had the courage to come forward and deserved the opportunity to confront the accused in the courtroom. I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly, angry, to learn of the MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner. We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning, and demand a thorough investigation.”
On Sunday, Reid started by playing a clip of special advisor to the president Kellyanne Conway stating that President Trump retweeted a tweet insinuating that former president Bill Clinton was somehow involved in the death of Jeffrey Epstein because Trump wanted the incident to be investigated.
Reid said:
<blockquote>Okay, take that in for a moment. That’s a member of the federal government, a member of the presidential administration who just did that, who just advanced an insane conspiracy theory against the former president, okay. So meanwhile the investigation of Epstein’s death now falls into the hands of William Barr. Donald Trump’s consigliere, an Attorney general who refused to recuse himself on the Epstein case despite his association with a law firm once involved with Epstein, whose father once hired Jeffrey Epstein as a teacher with neither experience nor degree and whose prime directive is to protect Donald Trump no matter what. In other words, we may never get the answer to how Jeffrey Epstein was allowed to die and deprive all those victims of their opportunity for justice.</blockquote>
Speaking to Carol Lenning, investigative reporter for The Washington Post, Reid posited, “Now the one person who we, in theory, must wait for answers from is William Barr. And William Barr’s record, just to be candid, doesn’t seem to denote somebody who is willing to tell truths that hurt Donald Trump or could make Donald Trump uncomfortable or unhappy.&#8221;
Later in the show, after playing clips of former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Sen. Cory Booker condemning Trump for retweeting the tweet, Reid turned to her panel, which included Above The Law editor Elie Mystal, comedian and attorney Dean Obeidallah, and Karine Jean-Pierre, chief public affairs officer for the leftist group MoveOn.org.
Mystal started the ball rolling by calling Attorney General William Barr the “compromised stooge” of the Trump Administration, adding, “It is not just that I do not trust William Barr to investigate this case fairly; it is also that William Barr has done nothing to make me trust him … This is what happens when you have a government that nobody can trust.”
Obeidallah echoed, “I do not trust Bill Barr. Anybody with eyes and ears does not trust Bill Barr.”
Reid opined that people on the Right “have gone back home to Mama” by discussing a possible conspiracy involving the Clintons.
Jean-Pierre protested that the Obama administration was nothing like the Trump administration, snapping, “You have a president who’s turned the DOJ into his political arm, it’s a 2020 campaign arm for him.” She accused special advisor to the president Kellyanne Conway of “degrading herself” for defending Trump.

WATCH: MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid Insinuates Bill Barr Might Cover Up Epstein’s Death

Joy-Ann Reid

Trump Administration

MSNBC <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/31/joy-reid-reportedly-once-touted-notorious-9-11-conspiracy-film/">conspiracy theorist</a> Joy Reid said on Tuesday that she believes that President Donald Trump is trying to send a &#8220;threat&#8221; to &#8220;his fellow Americans&#8221; by having a July 4th celebration that will feature tanks and military aircraft.
Reid&#8217;s comments came after Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning: &#8220;Big 4th of July in D.C. &#8216;Salute to America.&#8217; The Pentagon &amp; our great Military Leaders are thrilled to be doing this &amp; showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced Military anywhere in the World.

&#8220;He sort of aspires to be sort of a mini-Putin or Kim Jong-Un,&#8221; Reid said in a clip first reported on by <a href="https://freebeacon.com/politics/joy-reid-trumps-july-fourth-celebration-is-a-threat-to-americans/">The Washington Free Beacon</a>. &#8220;He wants to have that kind of absolute power.&#8221;
&#8220;What is the message Donald Trump is trying to send by rolling tanks down Constitution Avenue?&#8221; Reid continued. &#8220;Who is that message to? It&#8217;s certainly not to tyrants because he likes tyrants, he loves tyrants. It&#8217;s not to Putin, it&#8217;s not to Kim Jong-Un, not to the Saudis. Is it to our friends, to Western democracies who he doesn&#8217;t particularly like, or is it to us? Is it to the resistance in this country?&#8221;
&#8220;I got tanks. I have this military armada. The message is a threat, but it&#8217;s always a threat when you roll out your military,&#8221; Reid concluded. &#8220;But it&#8217;s to whom is the threat, and I suspect that the threat is to his fellow Americans. And I hate to say that, but I think that Donald Trump styles himself a tyrant, not a defeater of tyrants.&#8221;

MSNBC’s Joy Reid: Trump Having July 4th Parade To Threaten Americans

MSNBC faced intense blowback on Easter Sunday after they went to Special Counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s church and confronted him about the investigation on the Christian holy day.
&#8220;So the &#8212; Bob Mueller, the director &#8212; the former director of the FBI, of course, the special prosecutor &#8212; special counsel attended church services just across Lafayette Park here at St. John&#8217;s Episcopal Church,&#8221; MSNBC reporter Mike Viqueira <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/nicholas-fondacaro/2019/04/21/msnbc-ambushes-mueller-outside-church-after-easter-service">told</a> MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid. &#8220;Of course, that is known as the church of the President. President Trump and Melania Trump were there just recently.&#8221;
&#8220;We knew that he was going to be, he&#8217;s been there. He&#8217;s been there in the past so we waited for him,&#8221; Viqueria continued. &#8220;Easter services, tried to be as respectful as possible. He came out the side door of the church. I did have a couple of prepared questions to ask him. Let&#8217;s just roll the tape.&#8221;
&#8220;Sir, could I ask you a couple of questions? Will you testify before Congress, sir?&#8221; Viqueira asked Mueller.
&#8220;No comment,&#8221; Mueller responded.
&#8220;Are you sure about that, sir?&#8221; Viqueira asked.
&#8220;No comment,&#8221; Mueller responded.
&#8220;If he were anybody but the president, would Mr. Trump be indicted, sir?&#8221; Viqueira pressed. &#8220;Sir, why didn&#8217;t you make a recommendation to Congress one way or the other? Did the attorney general accurately characterize your positions on conspiracy and obstruction, sir?&#8221;
Mueller then got into his car and drove off.
&#8220;This is, you know, what some people would characterize as an ambush interview of a man coming out of Easter services at a church,&#8221; Viqueira later told Reid. &#8220;Some passersby weren&#8217;t happy that we were doing that.&#8221;

MSNBC Faces Backlash For Harassing Robert Mueller At Church On Easter

MSNBC

Robert Mueller

The fallout from the breathlessly awaited final report by Robert Mueller has included a whole lot of celebration by Team Trump and Republicans and a whole lot of &#8220;Collusion Denial&#8221; from the Democrats and their allies in the media. Among those refusing to let go of the collusion narrative is one of the leaders of the &#8220;Impeach Trump&#8221; crusade, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, who insists the report is &#8220;not the end of anything&#8221; and suggested that Trump had effectively brainwashed people into thinking there was no collusion.
In an appearance on MSNBC with Joy Reid over the weekend, Waters declared that &#8212; despite the thousands of subpoenas and hundreds of search warrants issued by Mueller only to find no evidence of any collusion by any member of the Trump campaign &#8212; the report doesn&#8217;t put to rest &#8220;anything&#8221; about Trump-Russia collusion.
&#8220;You have Donald Trump supporters, including his former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, out there tweeting and essentially presuming that the president has been exonerated,&#8221; said Reid, a presumption that Attorney General Bill Barr&#8217;s summary of the report confirmed on Sunday.
Reid showed a tweet from Haley posted Friday after multiple reports revealed that Justice Department sources said Mueller found no collusion and was issuing no further indictments. &#8220;After this long investigation both sides agreed to let Mueller do his job &amp; complete the investigation,&#8221; wrote Haley. &#8220;Everyone has to acknowledge that @realDonaldTrump did not interfere in the investigation. Now the American public needs to accept the results and move on. #EnoughAlready&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s a curious position to take since we don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s in the report,&#8221; said Reid. &#8220;But do you see colleagues on the other side of the aisle sort of declaring this whole thing at an end and wanting no further inquiry? I know that the House has something like 80 subpoenas still out.&#8221;
Waters responded by citing Trump&#8217;s ability to &#8220;get into people&#8217;s heads and indoctrinate&#8221; them.
&#8220;Absolutely. Well, I wanted to tell you that this president has a way of trying to get into people&#8217;s heads and indoctrinate them,&#8221; said Waters. &#8220;He&#8217;s been saying &#8216;No collusion, no collusion, no collusion,&#8217; over and over again for a long time now and he&#8217;s going to try to conclude that this report is proving that there&#8217;s no collusion. And you have a lot of his sycophants who will, you know, take the nod from him and they&#8217;ll say the same thing.&#8221;
Waters then stressed that &#8220;we&#8221; must not allow Team Trump put to bed the collusion narrative.
&#8220;But we cannot allow them to get away with this,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He does this all the time. This is not the end of anything.&#8221;
She then admitted that, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s the end of the report and the investigation by Mueller,&#8221; but added, &#8220;But those of us who chair these committees have a responsibility to continue with our oversight. There&#8217;s so much that needs to be, you know, taken a look at at this point. So it&#8217;s not the end of everything.&#8221;
In the wake of Barr&#8217;s summary, Democrats have signaled that they will continue to push their own investigations despite the exhaustive nature of Mueller&#8217;s nearly two-year investigation, which &#8220;issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses,&#8221; as Barr notes (full text below).

Below is the full text of Barr&#8217;s summary of Mueller&#8217;s report:
<blockquote>
Dear Chairman Graham, Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Feinstein, and Ranking Member Collins:
As a supplement to the notification provided on Friday, March 22, 2019, I am writing today to advise you of the principal conclusions reached by Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller III and to inform you about the status of my initial review of the report he has prepared.
The Special Counsel&#8217;s Report
On Friday, the Special Counsel submitted to me a &#8220;confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions&#8221; he has reached, as required by 28 C.F.R. 600.8(c). This report is entitled &#8220;Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election.&#8221; Although my review is ongoing, I believe that it is in the public interest to describe the report and to summarize the principal conclusions reached by the Special Counsel and the results of his investigation.
The report explains that the Special Counsel and his staff thoroughly investigated allegations that members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, and others associated with it, conspired with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, or sought to obstruct the related federal investigations. In the report, the Special Counsel noted that, in completing his investigation, he employed 19 lawyers who were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, and other professional staff. The Special Counsel issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.
The Special Counsel obtained a number of indictments and convictions of individuals and entities in connection with his investigation, all of which have been publicly disclosed. During the course of his investigation, the Special Counsel also referred several matters to other offices for further action. The report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the Special Counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public. Below, I summarize the principal conclusions laid out in the Special Counsel&#8217;s report.
Russian Interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election. The Special Counsel&#8217;s report is divided into two parts. The first describes the results of the Special Counsel&#8217;s investigation into Russia&#8217;s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The report outlines the Russian effort to influence the election and documents crimes committed by persons associated with the Russian government in connection with those efforts. The report further explains that a primary consideration for the Special Counsel&#8217;s investigation was whether any Americans &#8212; including individuals associated with the Trump campaign &#8212; joined the Russian conspiracies to influence the election, which would be a federal crime. The Special Counsel&#8217;s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. As the report states: &#8220;[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.&#8221;
(Footnote 1: In assessing potential conspiracy charges, the Special Counsel also considered whether members of the Trump campaign &#8220;coordinated&#8221; with Russian election interference activities. The Special Counsel defined &#8220;coordination&#8221; as an &#8220;agreement &#8212; tacit or express &#8212; between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference.&#8221;)
The Special Counsel&#8217;s investigation determined that there were two main Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election. The first involved attempts by a Russian organization, the Internet Research Agency (IRA), to conduct disinformation and social media operations in the United States designed to sow social discord, eventually with the aim of interfering with the election. As noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that any U.S. person or Trump campaign official or associate conspired or knowingly coordinated with the IRA in its efforts, although the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian nationals and entities in connection with these activities.
The second element involved the Russian government&#8217;s efforts to conduct computer hacking operations designed to gather and disseminate information to influence the election. The Special Counsel found that Russian government actors successfully hacked into computers and obtained emails from persons associated with the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party organizations, and publicly disseminated those materials through various intermediaries, including WikiLeaks. Based on these activities, the Special Counsel brought criminal charges against a number of Russian military officers for conspiring to hack into computers in the United States for the purposes of influencing the election. But as noted above, the Special Counsel did not find that the Trump campaign, or anyone associated with it, conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in these efforts, despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.
Obstruction of Justice. The report&#8217;s second part addresses a number of actions by the President &#8212; most of which have been the subject of public reporting &#8212; that the Special Counsel investigated as potentially raising obstruction-of-justice concerns. After making a &#8220;thorough factual investigation&#8221; into these matters, the Special Counsel considered whether to evaluate the conduct under Department standards regarding prosecution and conviction but ultimately determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Special Counsel therefore did not draw a conclusion &#8212; one way or the other &#8212; as to whether the examined conduct constituted obstruction. Instead, for each of the relevant actions investigated, the report sets out evidence on both sides of the question and leaves unresolved what the Special Counsel views as &#8220;difficult issues&#8221; of law and fact concerning whether the President&#8217;s actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction. The Special Counsel&#8217;s report states that &#8220;while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.&#8221;
The Special Counsel&#8217;s decision to describe the facts of his obstruction investigation without reaching any legal conclusions leaves it to the Attorney General to determine whether the conduct described in the report constitutes a crime. Over the course of the investigation, the Special Counsel&#8217;s office engaged in discussions with certain Department officials regarding many of the legal and factual matters at issue in the Special Counsel&#8217;s obstruction investigation. After reviewing the Special Counsel&#8217;s final report on these issues; consulting with Department officials, including the Office of Legal Counsel; and applying the principles of federal prosecution that guide our charging decisions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and I have concluded that the evidence developed during the Special Counsel&#8217;s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense. Our determination was made without regard to, and is not based on, the constitutional considerations that surround the indictment and criminal prosecution of a sitting president.
(Footnote 2: See A Sitting President&#8217;s Amenability to Indictment and Criminal Prosecution, 24 Op. O.L.C, 222 (2000).)
In making this determination, we noted that the Special Counsel recognized that &#8220;the evidence does not establish that the President was involved in an underlying crime related to Russian election interference,&#8221; and that, while not determinative, the absence of such evidence bears upon the President&#8217;s intent with respect to obstruction. Generally speaking, to obtain and sustain an obstruction conviction, the government would need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person, acting with corrupt intent, engaged in obstructive conduct with a sufficient nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding. In cataloguing the President&#8217;s actions, many of which took place in public view, the report identifies no actions that, in our judgment, constitute obstructive conduct, had a nexus to a pending or contemplated proceeding, and were done with corrupt intent, each of which, under the Department&#8217;s principles of federal prosecution guiding charging decisions, would need to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt to establish an obstruction-of-justice offense.
Status of the Department&#8217;s Review
The relevant regulations contemplate that the Special Counsel&#8217;s report will be a &#8220;confidential report&#8221; to the Attorney General. See Office of Special Counsel, 64 Fed. Reg. 27,038, 37,040-41 (July 9, 1999). As I have previously stated, however, I am mindful of the public interest in this matter. For that reason, my goal and intent is to release as much of the Special Counsel&#8217;s report as I can consistent with applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies.
Based on my discussions with the Special Counsel and my initial review, it is apparent that the report contains material that is or could be subject to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(e), which imposes restrictions on the use and disclosure of information relating to &#8220;matter[s] occurring before [a] grand jury.&#8221; Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)(2)(B). Rule 6(e) generally limits disclosure of certain grand jury information in a criminal investigation and prosecution. Id. Disclosure of 6(e) material beyond the strict limits set forth in the rule is a crime in certain circumstances. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. 401(3). This restriction protects the integrity of grand jury proceedings and ensures that the unique and invaluable investigative powers of a grand jury are used strictly for their intended criminal justice function.
Given these restrictions, the schedule for processing the report depends in part on how quickly the Department can identify the 6(e) material that by law cannot be made public. I have requested the assistance of the Special Counsel in identifying all 6(e) information contained in the report as quickly as possible. Separately, I also must identify any information that could impact other ongoing matters, including those that the Special Counsel has referred to other offices. As soon as that process is complete, I will be in a position to move forward expeditiously in determining what can be released in light of applicable law, regulations, and Departmental policies.
***
As I observed in my initial notification, the Special Counsel regulations provide that &#8220;the Attorney General may determine that public release of&#8221; notifications to your respective Committees &#8220;would be in the public interest.&#8221; 28 C.F.R. 600.9(c). I have so determined, and I will disclose the letter to the public after delivering it to you.
Sincerely,
William P. Barr
Attorney General

The MSNBC hosts have blown the lid off the real story behind the Special Counsel Robert Mueller&#8217;s report on whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russian officials to impact the outcome of the 2016 presidential election: host Joy-Ann Reid suggested that Attorney General William Barr has orchestrated a &#8220;cover up&#8221; designed to protect the President.
<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/joy-reid-it-feels-like-the-seeds-of-a-cover-up-are-here/">Mediaite</a> captured the exchange involving Reid and Above the Law editor Elie Mystal, as well as former Watergate proscutor, Nick Akerman. In it, it appears neither Reid nor Mystal are able to wrap their minds around the idea that the completed report may exonerate the President and key members of his campaign team of charges that they illegally manipulated the election outcome.
&#8220;Is Trump&#8217;s flunky going to release a report that might be damaging to his sugar daddy? I don&#8217;t think so,&#8221; Mystal mused.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t even know why we think that Barr isn&#8217;t the one who stopped the investigation,&#8221; he continued, outlining the motive behind a Barr-driven conspiracy within the Justice Department. &#8220;This is a 22-month-long investigation, Barr&#8217;s been on the scene for a month, and now we&#8217;re done? That doesn&#8217;t strike anybody as odd? No, I have absolutely no confidence that Bill Barr will do anything other than what is in the best interest of Donald Trump.&#8221;
Reid immediately agreed, despite the obvious fact that Trump ally Jeff Sessions served in the position of Attorney General during at least 18 of the 22 months of Mueller&#8217;s investigation, and Barr reported that Mueller experienced no interference from the White House or the DOJ while conducting his independent probe.
Instead, Reid, says, it&#8217;s very clear that Barr&#8217;s letter, which accompanied news of Mueller&#8217;s report, demonstrated that the &#8220;seeds of a cover-up&#8221; has aleady been planted.
&#8220;The fact that this investigation takes place within the Justice Department, which Donald Trump essentially controls,&#8221; Reid suggested, &#8220;and that he got rid of the problem, Jeff Sessions, who&#8211;&#8211;the one decent thing that he did was just recuse himself. This guy is not recused. It feels like the seeds of a cover-up are here.&#8221;

For his part, Akerman, who has experienced with presidential investigations (and, ultimately, prosecutions), noted that Barr&#8217;s conduct has been nothing but professional since he assumed office in early 2019: &#8220;So far so good. The letter says all the right things, and he&#8217;s really adhered to the letter of the regulations, which is good.&#8221;
Reid remained unconvinced.
Reid, of course, is only joining a vocal chorus of Democrats, progressive activists, and media luminaries, proposing alternative theories and explanations for news that Mueller did not recommend any further indictments beyond the 30 or so his team has already pursued.
Although this development reveals little about Mueller&#8217;s final report, it does seem to suggest that President Trump and his son, Donald Trump, Jr., will not be arrested and President Trump removed from office as some had hoped. Disappointed, some Democrats and media figures have suggested waiting for the Southern District of New York to conclude its own investigation (which they now claim was the &#8220;showpiece&#8221; investigation, and not Mueller&#8217;s), and are demanding that the notoriously silent Mueller sit in front of Congress for grilling by House Democrats.

MSNBC Host Joy Reid has lost more than 20% of her audience in the weeks following her &#8220;blog hacking&#8221; scandal.
<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/msnbcs-joy-reid-loses-over-20-of-viewers-after-blog-controversy/">According to Mediaite</a>, Reid&#8217;s show &#8220;AM Joy&#8221; has been in a ratings free-fall since mid-April, when investigative journalists discovered a cache of homophobic posts, buried on Reid&#8217;s former blog, &#8220;The Reid Report.&#8221; At first Reid appeared to acknowledge the posts, and even apologized for them, but quickly changed her story, and claimed an outside party &#8212; perhaps Russian hackers &#8212; had hacked into her old blog and placed the posts in a complicated effort to discredit her.
<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/online/exclusive-joy-reid-claims-newly-discovered-homophobic-posts-from-her-blog-were-fabricated/">An internet sleuth later found evidence</a> that Reid&#8217;s posts were indeed made several years ago, and calculated that any hacking effort would have to include a party of time travelers to make Reid&#8217;s story credible.
Since the scandal broke, Reid&#8217;s <a href="http://contemptor.com/2018/07/11/msnbcs-am-joy-has-lost-over-20-percent-of-its-audience-following-blog-controversy/">audience has fallen</a> from an average of 1.113 million total viewers per week, to 876,000 total viewers, a decline of about 20%. Her pull in her target demographic has fallen by more than a third, from around 238,000 viewers per week to just 175,000 viewers per week.
While the drop may not be entirely the result of Reid&#8217;s controversy, Contemptor, which measures and records television audiences, says the correlation is hard to miss. Reid&#8217;s audience began to drop off in the weeks following her &#8220;apology,&#8221; and the drop gained speed once Reid began concocting her conspiracy theories.

MSNBC Host Joy Reid’s Ratings In Freefall After Blog ‘Hacking’ Controversy

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) took a shot at the Democratic leadership in Washington on Sunday after they criticized her for calling for the harassment of Trump administration officials, saying that they &#8220;will do anything&#8221; to protect their power.
Speaking on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s decision to criticize her, Waters told MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid, &#8220;You know, I was surprised that Chuck Schumer, you know, reached into the other house to do that.&#8221;
Waters then took a shot at the Democratic leadership, suggesting that the only reason that they criticized her was that they wanted to protect their leadership positions.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve not quite seen that done before,&#8221; Waters continued. &#8220;But one of the things I recognize, being an elected official, is in the final analysis, you know, leadership will do anything that they think is necessary to protect their leadership.&#8221;
Waters drew widespread condemnation after she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/32232/watch-maxine-waters-calls-attacks-members-trump-ryan-saavedra">called for attacks</a> on members of the Trump administration, yelling at an event: &#8220;&#8230; if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they&#8217;re not welcome anymore, anywhere.&#8221;

Embattled MSNBC host Joy-Ann Reid has repeatedly attacked President Donald Trump over illegal immigrant children being separated from their parents despite the fact that she attacked former President Bill Clinton&#8217;s Attorney General for not wanting to rip an immigrant child away from their family in 2000.
In a satire spinoff of Dr. Seuss, Reid attacked former Attorney General Janet Reno for her not wanting to take Elian Gonzalez away from family in Florida and return him to Cuba.
Gonzalez was five years old when he was found floating in the water off the coast of Florida after a raft filled with Cuban immigrants was unable to traverse the ocean, leading to 11 deaths including his mother. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2017/08/15/world/cuba-elian-gonzalez-update/index.html">CNN</a> reports:
<blockquote>
Elian&#8217;s father, Juan Miguel, fought to bring the boy back to Cuba. Cuban leader Fidel Castro led massive protests on the island demanding Elian&#8217;s return&#8230;
&#8230;Elian&#8217;s Miami relatives argued if the boy went back to Cuba, he would become a brainwashed trophy for Castro in his long-running feud with the US.
</blockquote>
The Clinton administration ultimately decided to deport Gonzalez, but his relatives in Miami refused to give him up to be deported back to Cuba. CNN adds:
<blockquote>
In a nighttime raid, armed federal agents stormed the home of his uncle and seized the boy. An Associated Press photograph of the terrified child, cowering as an officer in riot gear points an assault rifle at him, inflamed passions even more.
Rioting broke out in Miami as many in the Cuban-American community reacted angrily to the seizure of the boy.
</blockquote>
Two days before the infamous raid happened, Reid wrote an article for <a href="https://www.salon.com/2000/04/21/renopoem/">Salon</a> attacking the Clinton administration, writing from the perspective that she was Attorney General Janet Reno:
<blockquote>
I am Jan,
Jan I am.
I will not pick up Elian.
I will not put him in a car,
I will not take him near or far,
I will not go inside that house,
That Waco thing still freaks me out.
I will not take him in the rain,
I will not put him on a plane,
I will not pick him up, you see,
The exiles would be mad at me.
I will not take him to his dad,
Would you make Gloria Estefan mad?
I will not send him to Fidel,
Cause Marisleysis says it&#8217;s hell.
I will not go and do my job,
I&#8217;m too scared of that angry mob,
I will not push old Uncle Laz,
He&#8217;s got more lawyers than I have.
I know I promised, but oh well,
That&#8217;s just too bad for Juan Miguel.
</blockquote>
This is another example of Reid&#8217;s past coming back to bite her, showing that she does not have the views that she preaches every weekend on far-left MSNBC.
In numerous tweets, Reid has tried to show that she cares about the children who are separated from their parents at the border after their parents are arrested for committing crimes:

Joy Reid Attacked Clinton Admin For Not Wanting To Deport Immigrant Children

On Monday, the oldest pro-Israel organization in the United States demanded that MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid be fired for her blatant anti-Semitism.
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) made the demand after multiple anti-Semitic comments and conspiracy theories from Reid&#8217;s past had surfaced on her now-defunct blog and web archive sites. In a statement, <a href="https://zoa.org/2018/06/10378130-zoa-to-msnbc-fire-joy-reid-for-anti-semitic-comments-conspiracy-theories/">ZOA</a> wrote:
<blockquote>
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has called upon the TV broadcasting network MSNBC to fire Joy Reid, host of &#8216;MSNBC&#8217;s AM Joy&#8217; program, for uttering outrageous anti-Semitic comments and for espousing bizarre conspiracy theories. The ZOA is appalled that someone espousing her views and making the comments she has made on air has a paid slot on a major TV network and calls upon MSNBC to fire her forthwith.
</blockquote>
Reid first came under fire last December when a Twitter account tracked down her old blog on a web archive and published screenshots of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/24247/msnbcs-joy-reid-justifies-offensive-anti-gay-ryan-saavedra">anti-gay remarks</a> she made.
Reid later apologized for her remarks, calling them &#8220;insensitive, tone-deaf and dumb.&#8221;
More controversial blog posts were discovered in April that included <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/31323/exclusive-new-joy-reid-blog-posts-promote-insane-ryan-saavedra">anti-Semitic</a> remarks and conspiracy theories, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29988/more-controversial-joy-reid-posts-revealed-time-ryan-saavedra">Islamophobia</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29851/gay-rights-group-rescinds-award-given-joy-reid-ryan-saavedra">anti-LGBT</a> comments, and attacks against women using <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29899/joy-reid-made-vile-sexual-comments-about-scotus-ryan-saavedra">sexual slurs</a>.
Reid then hired a cyber security expert, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29881/report-joy-reid-hired-man-who-bragged-about-ryan-saavedra">bragged</a> about his affiliations with neo-Nazis, to prove that she was hacked &#8212; a claim that was quickly debunked and was even harshly criticized by left-wing news organizations.

Jewish Group Demands MSNBC Fire Joy Reid For Her Anti-Semitism

Anti-Semitism

First there were theories that President Trump wasn&#8217;t all there mentally. Then were reports (from no less a brilliant &#8220;journalist&#8221; as MSNBC&#8217;s Joe Scarborough) that Trump suffered from the early stages of dementia.
Those have all but disappeared as Trump has reversed the eight-year spiral of the economy that his predecessor left him, tackled the influx of gangs from Mexico and even moved forward with bringing about an end to the Korean War.
But after Trump raged at the G-7 in Canada over the weekend, at least one &#8220;journalist&#8221; &#8212; not surprisingly also with NBC &#8212; thinks Trump is losing it.
CNBC reporter John Harwood, appearing on MSNBC&#8217;s Joy-Ann Reid, said this on Saturday:
<blockquote>
I&#8217;ll be honest, as a citizen, I&#8217;m concerned about the president&#8217;s state of mind. He did not look well to me in that press conference. He was not speaking logically or rationally. It sounded as if he was making stuff up, saying, you know, &#8220;Oh, China told me nobody&#8217;s ever talked to us&#8221; or saying, &#8220;Oh, you know, I talked to Justin Trudeau, and he can&#8217;t believe he was getting away with so much trade stuff.&#8221;
I don&#8217;t think those things are true. And there was something about his affect, which was oddly kind of languid from him. I don&#8217;t know what it means, but he did not look well to me.
</blockquote>
He got some agreement from another top &#8220;journalist&#8221; &#8212; Mother Jones bureau chief David Corn. &#8220;If you were talking to me this morning the way we just heard Donald Trump talk, I would ask you if you&#8217;d taken any medication, advise you not to operate any heavy machinery,&#8221; Corn said.

Andre Eggelletion, former lead host of the morning show with Reid, recently spoke out about her for the first time in more than a decade, saying Reid created &#8220;the most toxic work environment I&#8217;ve ever experienced&#8221; and threatened him with violence.
</blockquote>
&#8220;It was a very unhealthy work environment because of her attitude,&#8221; Eggelletion told Fox News. &#8220;She attacked me on a constant basis while I was there. I was even once threatened with physical violence during a break with her.&#8221;
Lee Michaels, then-national program director for Syndication One, confirmed to Fox News that the incident happened, saying, &#8220;It absolutely happened &#8212; 100 percent.&#8221;
Michaels told Fox News that he had to work hard to convince Eggelletion to stay at the station and not quit over Reid&#8217;s attack.
Reid refused to cover a story that Eggelletion suggested to her, to which he replied, &#8220;There was a dispute over it and I told her, &#8216;Go ahead and call the manager.'&#8221;
Reid allegedly replied, &#8220;If you ever speak to me like that again I&#8217;m coming over there and it&#8217;s gonna be me and you.&#8221;

BREAKING: MSNBC’s Joy Reid Threatened Colleague With Violence, Ex-Bosses Say

Embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid once promoted the conspiracy theory that &#8220;Jewish Jihadists&#8221; were responsible for Islamic terrorism, according to newly discovered screenshots obtained by The Daily Wire.
Screenshots from a post dated July 21, 2006, show that &#8220;JReid&#8221; blamed Jews in Israel for Islamic terrorism and appeared to go as far as justifying terrorism against Israel. The post states:
<blockquote>
The bottom line now is the same as it has always been: you cannot kill enough of your enemies to make the people of the Muslim world accept, respect, or permit themselves to be dominated by you. Eventually, the occupied will get even. Eventually, the people you consider terrorists will fight you hard enough, and long enough, that the people they say they are fighting for believe them, far more than they believe you. And then the people you&#8217;re bombing in the name of fighting terrorism, will hate you so much, they&#8217;ll take up arms with your &#8220;terrorists&#8221; &#8212; or look the other way as they move in next door &#8212; in order to see harm done to you.
</blockquote>
Reid continued by saying that terrorism is not a simple &#8220;black and white equation,&#8221; but rather a symptom of a disease that is &#8220;transmitted by colonialism, resource greed, racism, (and Zionism)&#8230;&#8221; It is not clear why Reid wrote &#8220;and Zionism&#8221; in parenthesis.
Reid later made a highly inflammatory statement about the Jewish people, writing: &#8220;&#8230;the Jewish jihadists quit the U.S. to suit up in Tel Aviv&#8230;&#8221;
The words &#8220;Jewish jihadists&#8221; appear to have been hyperlinked to an external website which cannot be viewed since Reid&#8217;s posts are no longer available on The Internet Archive.

‘JEWISH JIHADISTS’: Joy Reid’s Blog Published Posts Blaming Jews For Terrorism

Ann Coulter slammed embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid on Friday night for making numerous transphobic attacks on her by mocking Reid&#8217;s own appearance.
Appearing on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;The Ingraham Angle,&#8221; with host Laura Ingraham, Coulter discussed the latest fallout from newly released blog posts from Reid&#8217;s now-defunct blog that shows Reid made anti-Semitic comments and other bigoted and hateful remarks toward specific groups of people.
After seeing some of the remarks that Reid made about her, &#8220;Coulter went for the jugular. Literally,&#8221; <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/ann-coulter-hits-joy-reid-for-calling-her-a-man-liberal-women-have-rolls-of-fat-on-their-neck/">Mediaite</a> reported.
&#8220;And then there&#8217;s the always popular calling me a man for having a beautiful swan-like neck,&#8221; Coulter said. &#8220;Liberal women, as long as we&#8217;re being frank here, aren&#8217;t used to that because they have rolls of fat on their neck. They&#8217;re really taken aback by my beautiful swan-like neck.&#8221;

Yet another round of unsavory posts from Joy Reid&#8217;s former blog have surfaced. In these particular posts, the MSNBC host dabbles in conspiracy theories, and viciously mocks Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Sarah Palin on a personal level.
Both Reid and MSNBC have apologized (again).
In a statement, Reid <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/31348/breaking-joy-reid-and-msnbc-release-new-statements-ryan-saavedra">said</a>:
<blockquote>
While I published my blog, starting in 2005, I wrote thousands of posts in real time on the issues of the day. There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed. Today I&#8217;m sincerely apologizing again.
I&#8217;m sorry for the collateral damage and pain this is causing individuals and communities caught in the crossfire.
To be clear, I have the highest respect for Sen. McCain as a public servant and patriot and wish him and his family the best. I have reached out to Meghan McCain and will continue to do so. She is a former on-air colleague and I feel deeply for her and her family.
I&#8217;ve also spoken openly about my evolution on many issues and know that I&#8217;m a better person today than I was over a decade ago. I am the daughter of immigrants and have worked to be a strong ally of these communities. There is no question in my mind that Al Qaeda perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or about Israel&#8217;s right to its sovereignty.
I believe the totality of my work attests to my ideals and I continue to grow every day.
</blockquote>
MSNBC backed her up, saying the posts are &#8220;not reflective of the colleague and friend we have known at MSNBC for the past seven years.&#8221; The network added: &#8220;Joy has apologized publicly and privately and said she has grown and evolved in the many years since, and we know this to be true.&#8221;
As these posts keep popping up, and Reid issues apology after apology (or <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29997/watch-joy-reid-admits-hacking-claims-not-true-ryan-saavedra">hacking claim</a>), it seems a more efficient route might be a pre-constructed and customizable apology that the MSNBC host could shoot out in the event that any new offensive screeds are made public:

I am truly shocked that these posts have been attributed to me. I do not remember writing them. I believe I was:
&#11036;&#65039; Hacked
&#11036;&#65039; Set up by Russia
Either way, I have a team from the FBI working to find the individual or individuals responsible. If you find my hacking claim suspect, disregard the above, and read further.
I am deeply sorry for my:
&#11036;&#65039; Bigoted
&#11036;&#65039; Anti-Semitic
&#11036;&#65039; Homophobic
&#11036;&#65039; Transphobic
&#11036;&#65039; Conspiratorial
post from [insert year]. I should have made my point differently instead of using the [above checked] language. Over the years, I have been educated, and truly respect the:
&#11036;&#65039; Person/Persons
&#11036;&#65039; Minority, either ethnic or sexual
about [whom/which] I wrote. I&#8217;m sorry for the collateral damage and pain this is causing individuals and communities caught in the crossfire. I have reached out to [above checked], and will continue to do so.
I&#8217;m a better person now than I was in:
&#11036;&#65039; 2005
&#11036;&#65039; 2006
&#11036;&#65039; 2007
&#11036;&#65039; 2008
&#11036;&#65039; Other
and I continue to evolve. I hope that my current work is enough to display my sincere growth on the issues.

Problem solved. Now, instead of wasting all this time and energy thinking up new ways to apologize for abhorrent behavior, Joy Reid can simply issue this customizable apology, and get back to castigating Trump for being an &#8220;anti-immigrant, backward looking, anti-innovation, and anti-progress&#8221; president.

Here’s How Joy-Ann Reid Can Fix Her Ongoing ‘Apology’ Problem

Embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid&#8217;s now-defunct blog published multiple blog posts that promoted vicious attacks on the McCain family, anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, nasty personal attacks on people, doctored images, and more, according to several newly discovered posts reviewed by The Daily Wire.
All of the posts reviewed by The Daily Wire used the &#8220;JReid&#8221; byline. The blog posts are listed below in chronological order with many of the most shocking findings coming in the bottom half of this report.
Since this report was published, The Internet Archive appears to have removed the digital archive of Reid&#8217;s posts. Screenshots of all the posts referenced in this report are included in an embedded PDF document at the bottom of this report.
1. In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121235759/http://blog.reidreport.com/2005/11/theory-that-dare-not-speak-its-name.html">blog post</a> dated November 28, 2005, Reid promoted a conspiracy theory that claimed that the United States was driven into the Iraq war to promote the interests of Israel and Iran:
<blockquote>
Which country or countries had the strongest motivation to get Saddam out of power in Iraq? I&#8217;d say Iran, which is now reaping the benefits of the Iraqi Shia ascendance, dep, and Israel, which has long cherished the notion of getting rid of Saddam in order to further expand its leverage in the region, not to mention removing a known supporter and financier of Palestinian suicide bombers. Add to that the fact that many neocons really do believe that &#8220;the road to Mideast peace goes through Baghdad, not Jerusalem&#8230;&#8221; Removing one of the Palestinians&#8217; most vocal and belligerent friends would have been in Israel&#8217;s strategic interest.
</blockquote>
Reid further questioned Bush&#8217;s motives for entering the war by asking: &#8220;Could he also have sold out American interests to the Likud?&#8221;
The Likud Party is a center-right political party in Israel.
2. In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130122050906/http://blog.reidreport.com/2006/01/ballot-or-bullet.html">blog post</a> dated January 25, 2006, Reid wrote in a post titled &#8220;The ballot or the bullet,&#8221; that she was highly sympathetic to the Palestinian people because they were &#8220;on that land since long before the Jewish emigres arrived after World World II.&#8221;
Reid also appeared to give a serious ear to the terrorist group Hamas, writing:
<blockquote>
And Hamas is as much driven by religion as are the settlers in the West Bank and formerly in Gaza. Still, beyond Islam, their rise to power was also fueled by many of the same things that helped the conservatives in Canada and that could yet help the Dems in the States: the demonstrated corruption of the party in power. Since they are promising to clean things up, they obviously have credibility with many of the Plaestinian people. It won&#8217;t be easy to ignore them after this vote, or for that matter, to go around blowing up their cars.
</blockquote>

In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121195603/http://blog.reidreport.com/2006/08/i-wish-we-lived-in-time-when-you-could.html">blog post</a> dated July 24, 2006, Reid wrote a blog post that appeared to endorse gun violence with its title: &#8220;I wish we lived in a time when you could challenge a fella to a duel.&#8221;
The rest of the blog post fantasized what a debate between Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad and President George W. Bush would look like.
5. In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121195253/http:/blog.reidreport.com/2008/08/war-for-iraqi-oil.html">blog post</a> dated August 03, 2008, Reid promoted a conspiracy theory claiming that the United States entered the Iraq war for oil. Reid wrote:
<blockquote>
The bottom line: the Bush administration sought the invasion of Iraq from the time they stepped into office, and initially drafted a plan, in secret meetings with oil industry giants, and including &#8220;the late&#8221; Ken Lay, which included staging a coup to replace the inconvenient dictator of Iraq with an oil industry favorite, and maintaining the nationalized Iraqi oil industry under the control of U.S. and European firms.
</blockquote>
Reid suggested that McCain&#8217;s stance on the Iraq war was based on his desire to enrich himself, writing that it &#8220;has paid huge dividends for him.&#8221;
6. In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121194225/http:/blog.reidreport.com/2008/08/wayback-machine-cindy-mccain-pilfered.html">blog post</a> dated August 15, 2008, Reid attacked John McCain&#8217;s wife Cindy over her alleged addiction to painkillers, dedicating over 1,800 words in her post from several different articles to smear his wife while he was running for president.
Reid&#8217;s article attempted to portray John McCain as a monster that his wife was afraid of, writing:
<blockquote>
And her reactions to so many things seem to suggest &#8230; I hate to say it &#8230; a kind of fear of her husband that to me is just plain odd. In fact, a lot about this couple is weird. About the only thing that&#8217;s clear is that in her, John saw a woman better looking than his broken, former swimsuit model wife, and much, much richer and more influential; someone who could help him fulfill his ambitions.
</blockquote>
Reid made sure to add emphasis to some of the quotes she used from other articles, specifically adding emphasis on a quote that stated Cindy McCain &#8220;began taking more of the pain pills doctors had prescribed. Soon she was addicted, taking up to 20 Percocets and Vicodins a day.&#8221;

In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121192455/http:/blog.reidreport.com/2008/08/secret-life-of-eldon-smith.html">blog post</a> dated August 22, 2008, Reid wrote a post about a house that McCain bought in 1986 where he allegedly used a fake name on blueprints when he added on to a home that he bought so the project wouldn&#8217;t gain media attention.
At the bottom of the post, Reid attacked McCain&#8217;s mental faculties, writing:
<blockquote>
Fast forward to 2007, when the media caught wind of what would soon become clear: John McCain has a problem remembering how many houses he has &#8230; and even what kind of car he drives&#8230;
</blockquote>
8. In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121195241/http:/blog.reidreport.com/2008/08/redstate-foiled-again.html">blog post</a> dated August 22, 2008, Reid included a photoshopped image of John McCain on a poster titled: &#8220;The McCain Mutiny.&#8221;
The poster refers to John McCain as a &#8220;Traitor,&#8221; and refers to Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) as a &#8220;Woman.&#8221;

While writing about potential vice president nominees for McCain, Reid made anti-gay remarks and disparaging remarks about the appearance of a Republican woman. Reid wrote:
<blockquote>
It won&#8217;t be Charlie Crist. He&#8217;s gay, you know. Don&#8217;t let the &#8220;fiancee&#8221; fool you. And how would THAT look during a convention in the land of Wide Stance?
&#8230;
It won&#8217;t be Carly Fiorina. One word: Viagra.

On the subject of McCain picking Palin as his running mate, Reid wrote:
<blockquote>
John McCain&#8217;s last-minute, hurried selection of Sarah Palin, after just one meeting and a single phone call, and without even bothering to conduct the thorough vetting he gave to more serious choices like Mitt Romney, Tom Ridge, Joe Lieberman or even Tim Pawlenty, says a lot about the role of age in this election. Clearly, McCain comes from a generation (and an ideology) that dismisses women as serious people. He seems to have decided that Palin fit the bullet points (&#8220;maverick + pro-life + female,) so it doesn&#8217;t matter what she actually thinks about &#8220;big things&#8221; like Iraq (which turns out to be not much); the war on terror (who knows?), Russia, Georgia, Pakistan&#8230; or whether she even understands the job being offered to her. (Sounds a lot like the way he chose Cindy McCain: rich+prettier than current wife+lives where he could win a congressional seat&#8230;) Yesterday, as the roll-out was taking place, right wing radio hack Glenn Beck was actually gushing that one of Palin&#8217;s qualifications is that &#8220;she&#8217;s HOT!&#8221; I can almost hear McCain, disappointed that he couldn&#8217;t get Lieberman on the ticket, saying, &#8220;Ok go with that Palin broad. She&#8217;s a dame, just like Hillary&#8217;s a dame, and the chicks will dig that.&#8221;
</blockquote>
Reid attacked McCain over his age and appeared to attack him over his health, specifically over his <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2008/may/24/science/sci-melanoma24">past</a> health problems with cancer. Reid wrote:
<blockquote>
As for McCain, by making such an unserious, pandering choice, who couldn&#8217;t possibly be the person he feels is most qualified to step in should anything happen to him as a septuagenarian, four-time cancer survivor president, John McCain has closed the door on the notion that he&#8217;s fit to be president.
</blockquote>

In a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130121185639/http:/blog.reidreport.com/2008/09/mccain-kills-sarahs-buzz.html">blog post</a> dated September 05, 2008, Reid once again mocked McCain&#8217;s health, writing, &#8220;I guess picking Sarah Palin wasn&#8217;t a sign John McCain is going senile after all.&#8221;
After calling McCain a &#8220;crazy old man,&#8221; Reid attacked McCain&#8217;s Vietnam service record, writing:
<blockquote>
Only the parts of the speech that touched on McCain&#8217;s captivity in Vietnam were moving &#8212; and those didn&#8217;t come until the end, and haven&#8217;t we heard enough about the POW thing already? Worse, he praised HIMSELF as a maverick and as a war hero.
</blockquote>

Reid claimed that Palin was &#8220;pimping&#8221; her daughter and then attacked Bristol&#8217;s boyfriend Levi Johnston, writing, &#8220;But I sure hope the f***in redneck really does want to marry Bristol&#8230; otherwise that&#8217;s going to be one short, miserable marriage.&#8221;

EXCLUSIVE: Joy Reid’s Blog Promoted Anti-Semitic Conspiracies, Vicious Personal Attacks

Embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid and the MSNBC Senior Communications Manager Lorie Acio released statements on Friday about the growing controversy surrounding Reid&#8217;s now-defunct blog after new posts were uncovered this week.
The statements from the network and the host come after new posts were revealed this week that showed Reid promoted <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/05/31/joy-reid-raised-questions-9-11-conspiracy-old-website/658975002/">9/11 conspiracy theories</a>, attacked <a href="https://hotair.com/archives/2018/06/01/joy-reid-called-wolf-blitzer-aipac-flak/">Israel&#8217;s right to exist</a>, and featured a <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/joy-reid-john-mccain-photoshop-blog-post/">photoshopped image</a> of John McCain as the Virginia Tech shooter.
In a statement provided to Fox News&#8217; Brian Flood, Reid wrote:
<blockquote>
While I published my blog, starting in 2005, I wrote thousands of posts in real time on the issues of the day. There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed. Today I&#8217;m sincerely apologizing again.
I&#8217;m sorry for the collateral damage and pain this is causing individuals and communities caught in the crossfire.
To be clear, I have the highest respect for Sen. McCain as a public servant and patriot and wish him and his family the best. I have reached out to Meghan McCain and will continue to do so. She is a former on-air colleague and I feel deeply for her and her family.
I&#8217;ve also spoken openly about my evolution on many issues and know that I&#8217;m a better person today than I was over a decade ago. I am the daughter of immigrants and have worked to be a strong ally of these communities. There is no question in my mind that Al Qaeda perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or about Israel&#8217;s right to its sovereignty.
I believe the totality of my work attests to my ideals and I continue to grow every day.
</blockquote>
Shortly after Reid released her statement, MSNBC wrote:
<blockquote>
Some of the things written by Joy on her old blog are obviously hateful and hurtful. They are not reflective of the colleague and friend we have known at MSNBC for the past seven years. Joy has apologized publicly and privately and said she has grown and evolved in the many years since, and we know this to be true.
</blockquote>
The controversy surrounding Reid&#8217;s blog started in December when old blog posts were found where she made numerous bigoted and anti-gay remarks. Reid later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/24247/msnbcs-joy-reid-justifies-offensive-anti-gay-ryan-saavedra">apologized</a> for what she wrote and attempted to justify it by noting that the creators of South Park did the same thing in their hit TV show.

BREAKING: Joy Reid And MSNBC Release New Statements About Reid’s Blog Controversy

Among the names many on the Right have cited as examples of left-wing media personalities that appear to be enjoying a double standard compared to the recently fired pro-Trump Roseanne Barr, MSNBC&#8217;s Joy Reid is at the top of the list. Along with several homophobic blog posts that she has blamed on hackers (a claim the Daily Beast convincingly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29958/daily-beast-suspends-joy-reids-column-then-james-barrett">debunked</a>), yet another controversial post has emerged in which Reid promotes the 9/11 &#8220;truther&#8221; conspiracy theory.
In what <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/MSNBC-host-Joy-Reid-faces-new-questions-about-her-12956496.php">SFGate</a> notes is another revelation that will put &#8220;additional pressure&#8221; on NBC News to fire Joy Reid, &#8220;especially in the wake of ABC firing sitcom star Roseanne Barr,&#8221; a blog post by Reid links to and promotes a &#8220;truther&#8221; film co-produced by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones of InfoWars alleging that the 9/11 terror attacks were carried out by the U.S. government rather than al Qaeda terrorists.
In a post first reported by BuzzFeed, Reid cites the Jones-produced documentary &#8220;Loose Change 9/11&#8221; released in 2005 as part of a series which peddles the &#8220;truther&#8221; conspiracy theory. <a href="https://www.sfgate.com/entertainment/article/MSNBC-host-Joy-Reid-faces-new-questions-about-her-12956496.php">SFGate</a> reports:
<blockquote>
Reid&#8217;s old blog (&#8220;Reidblog&#8221;) from her time as a local broadcaster in south Florida, linked to a web video of the film in March 2006, and added this comment: &#8220;The fundamental question is: do you believe the official story of 9/11? If you do, great. If you don&#8217;t, then everything that happened after that is called into serious question. Even if you&#8217;re agnostic, or you tend to believe that al-Qaida attacked the World Trade Center and Pentagon and that the government had no warning such a thing could happen, it&#8217;s worth taking a second look.&#8221;
BuzzFeed also found another post from around the same time that included a comment alleging that government officials identified the 9/11 plotters &#8220;suspiciously soon.&#8221; It raised suspicions popular in conspiracy-theory circles, such as questioning why a building in the trade center complex that was not directly struck by an airplane collapsed as well.
&#8220;For that matter, why did any of the WTV [sic] buildings fall&#8230;?&#8221; the blog says. &#8220;Somehow I think it will be a generation before we get the full story on what happened on 9/11.&#8221;
</blockquote>
So will Reid get the Roseanne treatment? So far, NBC News hasn&#8217;t responded to Barr&#8217;s &#8220;truther&#8221; post. As for her homophobic posts, the network says it&#8217;s waiting on the results of an FBI investigation into her hacking claim before it makes any decisions.

Another Problematic Blog Post By Joy Reid Uncovered

Al Qaeda

Radical Islam

Roseanne Barr

Terrorism

On Tuesday, MSNBC aired one of the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2018/05/29/tone-deaf-msnbc-slammed-for-bringing-on-joy-reid-to-discuss-roseanne-barrs-social-media-slur.html">most tone-deaf</a> segments in cable news history as host Andrea Mitchell, in response to a racist tweet from Roseanne Barr, asked embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid what someone had to do on social media to get fired from a television network.
&#8220;What do you have to do on social media to get fired from a top-rated show on an American broadcast network?&#8221; Mitchell asked Reid.
Reid responded by not really answering the question as she shifted to cast blame on President Donald Trump for Barr&#8217;s tweets.
Reid came under intense scrutiny last month after blog posts and tweets she previously wrote were uncovered; she had made racist, bigoted, homophobic, and Islamophobic remarks in addition to attacking conservative women with disgusting sexual comments.
Reid then concocted a bogus conspiracy theory and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29881/report-joy-reid-hired-man-who-bragged-about-ryan-saavedra">hired</a> a neo-Nazi linked cyber expert to help her prove that she was hacked and that she didn&#8217;t write the posts.
Her claims were proven illusory, so she <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29997/watch-joy-reid-admits-hacking-claims-not-true-ryan-saavedra">claimed</a>: &#8220;I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me, but I can definitely understand based on things I have tweeted and I have written in the past why some people don&#8217;t believe me.&#8221;

On Saturday, a panel hosted by embattled MSNBC host Joy Reid attacked the character of military veterans who support President Donald Trump.
MSNBC terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance, who previously <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/apr/19/malcolm-nance-msnbc-terrorism-analyst-nominates-tr/">called for a terrorist attack</a> by ISIS against a Trump property, said that veterans who support the president are &#8220;not honorable,&#8221; <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/brad-wilmouth/2018/05/12/msnbc-nance-pro-trump-vets-not-honorable-bigotry-deporting">NewsBusters</a> reported.
&#8220;And these military people love him, all right?&#8221; Nance began. &#8220;And I&#8217;m just going to come right out and say it: not honorable military veterans.&#8221;
&#8220;Because an honorable military veteran, if they had heard this story, would have said, &#8216;You know what, there&#8217;s a line, and that line has now been crossed,'&#8221; Nance continued. &#8220;But they have this cultish love of him where the love of Donald Trump exceeds the Constitution &#8212; exceeds the honor of everyone who has sacrificed and lost in this nation.&#8221;

This week, MSNBC announced that it had punished weekend host Hugh Hewitt with a &#8220;verbal warning&#8221; for meetings he had with EPA chief Scott Pruitt regarding a clean up of a toxic-waste site near his home.
MSNBC&#8217;s discipline of Hewitt followed Politico&#8217;s <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/msnbc-host-hugh-hewitt-personally-lobbied-pruitt-to-clean-up-toxic-waste-near-his-home">report on Tuesday</a> that Hewitt personally contacted EPA chief Scott Pruitt to arrange a meeting between Pruitt and a law firm that directly pays Hewitt and represents the Orange County Water District.
On Wednesday, MSNBC told <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/msnbc-gives-hugh-hewitt-verbal-warning-for-personally-lobbying-epa">The Daily Beast</a>, &#8220;Hugh Hewitt disclosed several times to MSNBC viewers that he has a friendship with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt and also that Hewitt&#8217;s son works for the agency. As a result of those relationships, Hewitt stopped discussing EPA-related matters on MSNBC. However, after the network learned Tuesday that Hewitt set up an EPA meeting in the fall, he was given a verbal warning as such activity is a violation of our standards.&#8221;

Yet, despite the fact that MSNBC host Joy Reid has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29997/watch-joy-reid-admits-hacking-claims-not-true-ryan-saavedra">lied about people hacking her website</a> and posting remarks on her blog that she herself <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/29908/uh-oh-post-joy-reid-trump-might-finally-turn-left-james-barrett">admitted</a> were &#8220;homophobic, transphobic, sexist and bigoted,&#8221; MSNBC has not disciplined her.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
Joy Reid can shamelessly lie about people hacking her website and Twitter account and everyone at NBC will back her up, but Hugh Hewitt can&#8217;t have meetings. Good to know, MSNBC! <a href="https://t.co/iPRrMJuTGL">https://t.co/iPRrMJuTGL</a>
