Despite the pretty overwhelming evidence against her, Joy Reid continues to claim that those homophobic posts on her defunct blog were put there by hackers. And some suckers continue to have her back:

Joy Reid is one of a kind, a whip smart woman with a penchant for truth-telling. As a fellow New Yorker, I couldn’t be more proud to say #ImWithJoy. pic.twitter.com/HZWMhkayyH

@JoyAnnReid is one of the most principled journalists ever. #ImWithJoy

One of the most principled journalists ever, you guys. Sure. If by “principled,” you mean “completely full of it.” Because here’s the thing: Joy Reid’s problematic posts weren’t limited to her blog.
Final thought: maybe rent-a-pundit bro can investigate whether Joy’s Twitter account was hacked in 2010 while referring to Senator aka ‘Miss Lindsey’ Graham. pic.twitter.com/WZ3KEFX8j7

.@JoyAnnReid It sounds like you’re calling Ann Coulter a transvestite, or was your Twitter also hacked? pic.twitter.com/YYUxm436BJ

Joy Reid, you’ve got some more ‘splaining to do.
@JoyAnnReid I think the hackers did your Twitter account, too.

Honestly, we can’t wait to find out how “Dark Web” hackers broke into Reid’s Twitter account, planted homophobic and transphobic tweets, and did so right under her watchful, “principled journalist” nose.
Left her phone in the locker room and Anderson Cooper’s assistant hacked it, probably.
