re: #25 Charles Johnson

From the Vox article:

These are different from previous blog posts that Reid apologized for in December 2017. In those past posts, Reid wrote that then-Florida Gov. Charlie Crist was gay, nicknamed him “Miss Charlie,” and claimed that he only married a woman for political purposes. Reid said her comments were “insensitive, tone-deaf and dumb. There is no excusing it — not based on the taste-skewing mores of talk radio or the then-blogosphere, and not based on my intentions.” Crist, who’s now a member of Congress, accepted her apology.

This was from five months ago. Five months.

I didn’t know homophobia could lay dormant for a decade and a half and then remerge like a cicada.

I genuinely feel bad about the whole situation, as Reid is obviously a smart woman, and that a similar incident on Fox would result in the person getting a promotion.

But, Jesus Christ, she’s got a problem with gay people.
