The parade of liberals lining up behind Joy Reid following her attempt to cover up her anti-LGBT history has been nothing short of impressive. For example, as Twitchy told you yesterday, despite the overwhelming evidence against Reid, pro-abort Dr. Eugene Gu rode to her defense by dismissing her critics, singling out Dana Loesch as someone who is “homophobic every single day.”
Well, Shannon Watts must’ve been drinking from the same toilet bowl as Gu, because here’s what she said today:
No one is born fully formed – most of us evolve and change our minds over a lifetime. Except, ironically, the people turning these accusations into a smear campaign. For example, the @NRA’s Dana Loesch has said bigoted, racist and other awful things, yet she’s attacking Joy.

We’d love for Watts to point to “bigoted, racist, and other awful things” that Loesch has said. But honestly, she’d have an easier time doing that with Joy Reid’s “cyber-security expert.” You know, the guy who boasted about his ties to neo-Nazi outfit Stormfront.
And she’ll find someone else to attack when this is over. Meanwhile, Joy has apologized, evolved her positions, and fights for economic and social justice for marginalized communities every day. And people like Dana Loesch – organizations like the NRA – they won’t abide that.

As the mom of a gay daughter, I support @JoyAnnReid . If MSNBC were to remove her from the American discourse, people of color would lose – we all would lose – because of a targeted campaign to ruin her reputation and silence her.

That’s some flaming garbage right there. Naturally, Watts’ minions are lapping it up:
Dana is shameful. She gets paid to be an awful human.

I know I have changed over time. Too bad Dana hasn't!

@DLoesch is nothing more than a paid actress, who says exactly what she is paid to say. She's a sellout, advertising for a company that has sold its soul to the devil. Assault Rifle Barbie is just another tRumpaganda spewing hack!

When she dies, the mortician will drain her of all her vile contemptuousness, and will bury her in a pill bottle.

Classy. If only Loesch were as evolved as Watts’ followers.

Yeah, great work, Joy. When it comes to proving your critics exactly right, that is. Guess you have that in common with Watts.

She apologized long ago for what she said.
— Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) April 26, 2018
Shannon Watts doesn’t seem to have evolved past the “lying liar who lies” stage.

I'm pretty sure the reason this story has legs is because she *hasn't* apologized for the bulk of the blog posts, and is instead blaming them on a hacker. https://t.co/up55ZFhAc3

If Joy Reid had said "As I said earlier, I regret those comments, I apologize and renounce them. I've matured as a person and a thinker," this story would've died on Monday. Had she faced disciplinary action, *I'd* be defending her.

I love Joy, but it’s apparent that she lied. She got herself into a Brian Willians situation where her credibility is now in question. The entire country evolved on gay rights. All she had to do was say she evolved on this also. But now that she lied, I don’t see how she stays.

The thing is, when these new posts came out, she didn't apologize. She blamed hackers. That's not evolving. That's not what allies should do. Dana Loesch didn't make her do that.
Stop defending the indefensible.

Telling a lie that is so transparently a lie– it doesn't even pass the laugh test– is not "apologizing," it's the opposite: it's insulting. She's insulting her fans, she's insulting her critics, she's insulting you.
