After much criticism from both the Left and the Right, MSNBC’s Joy Reid has taken back her take that accused NRO’s David French of being totally cool with minorities and inner-city dwellers dying in a nuclear fireball:
Taking back my take on this take – the @rawstory writeup doesn't reflect @DavidAFrench's intent and I think @Aunty__Em would probably agree. David and I disagree on almost everything, but my take on this was off track. https://t.co/YARwfhRNRE

That’s really not good enough, Joy. Where’s the apology?
After accusing @DavidAFrench of being "in favor of risking nuclear war [because] it will only kill Democrats and minorities," this is a totally inadequate response, @JoyAnnReid. "Taking back my take"?? How about, "I'm sorry, I was completely wrong. Please forgive me." https://t.co/9Av0sPtvVu

She really needs to do better here:

Although it’s safe to say Reid jumped the shark a long, long time ago:
Fonzie Disease: Cannot say "I was wrong." Anyway, here's why: https://t.co/4LTGweZioN https://t.co/Ee0O3jr6V3

Notice that she also admitted to not reading the piece in the first place:
Wait, are you admitting you didn’t even _read_ David French’s piece before you denounced it? https://t.co/6lHVlfLgkQ

Suggesting French didn't care if Democrats and minorities were killed was "off track." Also, I like how she implicitly admits she didn't read the original source material and pawns the blame off on someone else. https://t.co/A9o6S2Mpu2

AND after spreading Fake News, Reid had the temerity to quote tweet a suggestion that President Trump’s Fake News Awards are putting the White House press corps at risk:
This: https://t.co/ZnMudj1msO

Members of the White House press corps are receiving death threats as a result of Trump and his administration's war on the free press.
The #FakeNewsAwards are part of that war.
They are not a joke. https://t.co/Cw4u55kvGl

Does she think she put French at risk?
This is remarkable. @JoyAnnReid is tweeting about how dangerous Trump's Fake News Awards is the same night she has falsely accused @DavidAFrench of wanting "Democrats and minorities" to die in a nuclear blast.https://t.co/PkdWCEaTaf https://t.co/FR4UNQSA7F

All good?
Don't worry, now she says she was "off track."
