Joy Reid has a really bad habit of talking behind people’s backs on Twitter. Remember when she and Brian Stelter were talking trash about Maria Bartiromo for blocking him? It’s like she doesn’t realize bazillions of people are reading Twitter and that her smug gossip will be seen by like, everyone.
Did she really think Bernie Sanders supporters wouldn’t send this nonsense to his wife? Maybe she didn’t realize Jane is on Twitter.
Start here:
The "voice of God" in media and politics has been male (and mostly white) for forever. These men are given not just moral authority but the power to shape the national narrative. We're watching that authority crumble as we learn how many have used their power to press for sex. https://t.co/jOPgFEMN0l

Men are bad, m’kay.
And Matt Lauer is among the worst, but we digress.
She goes on to explain that there are LITERALLY no credible national authority figures right now and gets a response from a Sanders supporter.
@SenSanders Bernie Sanders.

And then Joy said something really, really stupid.
Not necessarily untrue about Bernie, but probably should have left his wife out of it.
Um… I get that he has a hardcore following, but his own attitudes toward women, from his weird early writings to his physical dismissal of women in his presence (including his own wife) make that an incredibly dubious prospect.

Oh boy.
Guess what, someone sent the tweet to Jane Sanders and then the shiznit really hit the fan.
I didn't answer your biased reporting about Bernie during the last 2 years @JoyAnnReid. But don't ever use me to demean my husband. I am very happy & very proud to be Bernie's wife. Your perception couldn't be more wrong. Have you ever talked with him? You've never spoken w/me. https://t.co/SZG7uV8cfO

She’s got a really bad habit of saying dumb things and getting caught.
Lord knows I'm not a Bernie fan but this tweet is rich from Joy considering what Bill Clinton has been accused of and how badly HRC treated women abused by him. This is partly why Dems lost in 2016….sheer hypocrisy.

Joy loved Hillary.
Shame on you @JoyAnnReid. Your blind hatred of all things Bernie raises serious questions about your journalistic integrity.

Meanwhile HRC never sent any money down either. Thank Donna for blowing that wide open. Next…

And to think, this website is FREE.
Somehow I sense there has been a disturbance in the Force while I’ve been off Twitter…
