Acceptable conduct, she was attacking a republican.
Via The Cut:
A cool thing about being a human in 2017 is that every single fact about you likely exists somewhere on the internet, and if you’ve ever done or said something tasteless, that offense could surface at any time and bite you in the ass. Joy Reid is currently reckoning with that, as a Twitter user dug up internet archives of the MSNBC host’s blog and found some crass homophobic jokes. Yikes!
Mediaite reports that the posts come from her now-defunct blog The Reid Report, which she ran while simultaneously writing for the Miami Herald. According to Twitter user @Jamie_Maz, who accessed the blog using internet archiving service Wayback Machine, Reid wrote 12 bigoted blogs between 2007 and 2009, in which she attacked former Florida governor Charlie Crist and referred to him as “Miss Charlie” a total of 17 times.
While rumors about Crist’s sexual orientation have circulated, he has always denied them. However, that didn’t stop Reid from labeling blogs about him with the tag “gay politicians” and spreading the conspiracy theory. In one deplorable post, she asserted that Crist likely spent his honeymoon wishing he were with a male waiter instead of his wife.
