Alex Griswold at The Washington Free Beacon spent some time digging through Joy Reid’s old blog this week; her old, defunct blog was taken off of the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine but can still be found on a mirror of the Wayback Machine operated by the Library of Congress.
Griswold unearthed one post from 2007 in which Reid reacted to the ongoing feud between Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump, calling O’Donnell “that chubbed out shrew” and Donald Trump’s posts roasting her as “kick-a** funny.”
Former MSNBC host Touré isn’t buying it; in fact, he has a bridge to sell you in Wakanda.
@bourgeoisalien If you think Joy Reid actually wrote "How much more kick-ass funny can Donald Trump be???” then I have a bridge to sell you in Wakanda.

Well, he was making fun of a lesbian woman — that seemed to be Reid’s kind of thing back then. So, did time-traveling hackers insert this post into the Library of Congress archive, or …
Spoiler: She did. https://t.co/Ti3hGy2k0u

Toure: Bush did 9/11 & there are scuba divers in the NY Subway system but Joy Reid definitely didn’t write those things on her blog https://t.co/Ti3hGy2k0u

Seriously, click the link and scroll on down quite a ways to see the post those hackers inserted.

It's more believable than time travelling hackers going back to 2007, writing mainstream blog posts, and hiding them from public view until 2018 and then releasing them after the author had already apologized for writing them and also had still-live tweets pointing to them. ?

SHUT UP. NO, it was time traveling Russian hackers, you boob.

It looks like Toure wrote this, but we can't be sure because obviously Toure didn't write this, because this tweet probably isn't real, and was written by Russian hackers, but not really since there's no proof it was ever really written.
So, it definitely wasn't written by Toure https://t.co/i4gcyswtQR
