As a gay man watching Joy Reid discuss Northam is kind of surreal [View all]

She still, to my knowledge, has refused to even admit that the statements about gays and lesbians she blogged are even hers. I have to wonder where she gets the nerve to discuss this.

As a gay man watching Joy Reid discuss Northam is kind of surreal [View all] dsc Feb 2019 OP

I don't watch her anymore because of that janterry Feb 2019 #1

I only watch Maddow when she is on, don't bother watching any other network program nt yaesu Feb 2019 #34

As a straight man, I was thinking the same thing. stopbush Feb 2019 #2

I used to watch her now i'm watching Gunsmoke. dem4decades Feb 2019 #3

sort of like ...... a wall..... pangaia Feb 2019 #28

She extensively apologized. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #4

No she didn't dsc Feb 2019 #5

Did she ever finally admit that there was no hacking? oberliner Feb 2019 #8

To my knowledge no dsc Feb 2019 #10

I don't go out of my way to watch her and I definitely don't look at her the same. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #12

I rarely watch her but did make a point to watch her today dsc Feb 2019 #15

It is so hard to be morally true. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #16

Not directly. She said she cannot prove her account was hacked still_one Feb 2019 #56

Maybe she should revisit that subject oberliner Feb 2019 #61

Northam has apologized for this photo as well oberliner Feb 2019 #7

He should have claimed his yearbook was hacked and the FBI is looking in to it. Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2019 #11

Or someone went back in the Hot Tub Time Machine and forced him to do it. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2019 #17

His "that was not me in the photo" potential statement is sort of like that oberliner Feb 2019 #24

When he got caught, my understanding is Reid showed remorse BEFORE those post were brought up again uponit7771 Feb 2019 #33

Naw. demmiblue Feb 2019 #13

So she stands by the hacking claim? oberliner Feb 2019 #25

I didn't realize her explanation was so preposterous Awsi Dooger Feb 2019 #45

"and I'm not the person I was then"....wow Demonaut Feb 2019 #46

As a gay woman, I completely agree. cwydro Feb 2019 #9

When I turn on Rachel show and Joy is the sub, I turn off immediately, but not because Joy is not empedocles Feb 2019 #14

She is not in elected office. cilla4progress Feb 2019 #18

It doesn't matter. People like to take these hard line positions. Yup she said something I didn't UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #19

NO that isn't what we were saying dsc Feb 2019 #21

I choose to look at and focus on the 99% she gets right. Bottom line she is one of the good UniteFightBack Feb 2019 #23

Yes, it DOES matter. People are free not to watch her. Virginians are NOT FREE to turn off Northam. pnwmom Feb 2019 #37

but what if Virginians still WANTED him to be Governor ? would that be reason for him to stay ? JI7 Feb 2019 #54

Not at this point. An opinion poll wouldn't cut it. Are you aware that the Florida Secretary of pnwmom Feb 2019 #55

Why should we have different standards treestar Feb 2019 #63

Good point. borgesian Feb 2019 #20

Owned up to it, sure. namahage Feb 2019 #47

It's pretty obvious you didn't watch his press conference. lunatica Feb 2019 #49

I'm straight and I agree with you rollin74 Feb 2019 #22

A lot of the things being said today are relevant to other forms of bigotry. yardwork Feb 2019 #26

It is certainly more acceptable here on du. Tipperary Feb 2019 #51

As an ally I will not watch her. MuseRider Feb 2019 #32

Last I checked Joy Reid wasn't holding elective office. People are free not to watch her, pnwmom Feb 2019 #35

Thaaank You! djacq Feb 2019 #38

So if tomorrow we found out that Sean Hannity dsc Feb 2019 #40

I would say it's not comparable to the Governor. Still. pnwmom Feb 2019 #43

That wasn't the question melman Feb 2019 #59

I wasn't talking to you. n/t pnwmom Feb 2019 #60

I didn't say you were melman Feb 2019 #62

That's a real dodge treestar Feb 2019 #65

Tulsi Gabbard is running for President. treestar Feb 2019 #67

LOL. You must have missed it. Others complain that I post way too much pnwmom Feb 2019 #68

I missed that. But good to be consistent. treestar Feb 2019 #70
