Cybersecurity Expert Not Buying Reid’s ‘Hacker’ Story

MSNBC host Joy Reid has tried to douse the controversy surrounding homophobic posts that an Internet archive search found on a blog she managed more than a decade ago by claiming hackers had manipulated the blog to insert offensive material.

In a statement Monday to Mediaite, Reid claimed an “unknown, external party” accessed her now-defunct blog and added “offensive and hateful references that are fabricated and run counter to my personal beliefs and ideology.” Reid claimed she discovered the hacks after she began working with “a cyber-security expert who first identified the unauthorized activity.”

But Reid’s claims have been met with skepticism. Cybersecurity expert Jason McNew, who spent 12 years working for the White House and Camp David under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, told the Daily Caller it will be difficult for Reid to prove her innocence.

Her lips are moving . . . she’s lying!!!

This just illustrates the lengths to which the leftist media must go to pretend that their worldview is normal. Reid has to come up with a wild conspiracy theory to explain why, in 2006, she held views that were entirely commonplace and mainstream in 2006 even among the left.

You wouldn't have heard anything different from Barack Obama at the time. Obama was still explicitly opposed to gay marriage until well into his Presidency. From what I've heard, he said far worse about gays teaching law school.

Their reaction to Trump is a great example of this. Lets face it: Politically, Donald Trump is pretty much just Bill Clinton with worse manners. There is absolutely nothing Trump has said, nor any policy Trump has advocated, that could not have come from pretty much any Democrat Presidential candidate in 1992 other than maybe Paul Tsongas. Clinton even said "Make America Great Again" more than once during his campaign. Trump would probably even institute Hillarycare and the Assault Weapons Ban if we let him. Yet somehow Donald Trump is now worse to the left than Adolf Hitler.

If she really filed a report with the FBI, then she needs to be prosecuted.

Didn’t work for Weiner either

Remind me, folks: How many sponsors have dumped Joy’s show or left MSNBC over her homophobic rants, again?

“it will be difficult for Reid to prove her innocence.”

That’s so disturbing that, if anyone doesn’t know why it’s disturbing without being told, it’s even more disturbing.

Is Joy Reid Harry Reid’s “love child”? She lies just like him. I’d think it would run in the family.

After all, Harry had the old Mustang Range in his state.

In the immortal words of Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to do what a man’s got to do”.

Down and Dirty Harry Reid. It has a certain ring about it. “Riding Rough” at the Mustang Ranch. I wonder if he rode “bareback” or “saddleback”? Either one of those would explain those black welts and bruises he was sporting a couple years ago.

Exercise machinery my butt, unless his machinery was named “Miss Smith” or “Stormy” something.

The best part, an update posted yesterday lol - The host says she doesn't think she wrote the posts, but admits they don't seem to have been hacked.
