A say hi to Joy Thread

[Botany]

Joy. I loves me some Joy!

You are a class act and I have no doubt that a sophisticated operation
was undertaken to hurt you by going after the very people you have
supported for years.

[MaryMagdaline]

1. Hi Joy

[FakeNoose]

2. Best wishes to Joy Reid

We've got your back!

[Scarsdale]

82. Joy,

don't let the bastards get you down!! We are all supporting you and what you so ably do. Hold your head up high, you have lots of support.

[Raster]

3. Hi Joy!

[samnsara]

4. love her

[greymattermom]

5. Love you Joy

We all change over the years. Keep up the good work.

[mainstreetonce]

6. Joy's show today is powerful

You go Joy!

[Cha]

7. Mahalo for your thread, Botany

Joy!

[tazkcmo]

8. Hi Joy!

Make sure you say hi to those Daily Beast reporters that are happy to suck face time at MSNBC while simultaneously joining in on the pile on.

Hang in there and know you are appreciated.

[Kirk Lover]

10. You are doing the right thing girl. Adults take responsibility for their actions, own up to it...

let's talk about it and then let's move on.

You can tell when someone is being heartfelt and GENUINE with an apology etc and that really makes all the difference.

[BlueIndyBlue]

18. Agreed

She sat there and let the panel express their disappointment with her never interrupting or challenging their perception of the things she wrote in the past. To me that speaks volumes about her character something that #45 or most of the Congresscritters will never do. She has fallen on her sword, taken her medicine and we need to let it go and move on.

[PoliticAverse]

29. "Adults take responsibility for their actions" - is she saying she wrote those things....

or is she still saying hackers planted them?

[Kirk Lover]

30. I'm not sure...I missed the first few minutes...but from what I'm gathering I think it's both.

?????????????

[obnoxiousdrunk]

11. HI Joy !

[Greybnk48]

12. I'm glad you cleared things up.

Excellent panel today, and I look forward to many years of your show!

Now let's talk about the PIG in the White House and the Republican alt-right attack on LGBTQ, people of color, women, Muslims, Jewish people, on and on. Let's go after the REAL rot in this country.

[Olafjoy]

13. Powerful Woman

I lock arms with Joy and move forward.

[MoonRiver]

14. Joy is the absolute best! I try to never miss her weekend shows!

Joy (PS, please run for president)

[nolabear]

15. Yes.

[dalton99a]

16. Great job!

[Anon-C]

17. Hi Joy!!!

I agree!

[mopinko]

19. the sadness in her face. omg.

this is really a great conversation.

[BootinUp]

20. She deserves a break. Nt

[oasis]

21. Ditto

[GWC58]

22. Hi Joy!

My is off to you!

[workinclasszero]

23. Keep doing the great job you do Joy!!

[Pathwalker]

24. Hi Joy! I love you and your show!

You were awesome today, too.

[Mike Nelson]

25. Hey, Joy...

[OnDoutside]

26. Hi Joy !

[vlyons]

27. I never doubted Joy - not for a minute

Talk about fake news. I always suspected that it was some RW dirty trick to smear her with the charge of homophobia and hypocracy. No way would Joy be such a jerk. Hey Joy, you go girl. You're doing a great job. I love your program, and I love you.

[mythology]

97. What fake news? She's apologizing for the posts

She's admitted she said at least some of those things and that there's no evidence she didn't write the others.

She's changed, but how can you possibly say she couldn't be enough of a jerk to say those things when she freaking admitted she's said homophobic things?

[vlyons]

99. Some is not the same as all

and which some matters. I don't care what others say or think. I trust and like Joy, and plan to continue watching her show.

SO THERE! For those who wish to smear and take her down, I say go eat a bug.

[slingsam]

28. Stay Strong, Joy. We are with you....Always!!!!!

[OneGrassRoot]

31. Bawling my eyes out...

Watching the opening segment now. Joy and the whole panel....SPOT ON. Grace, humility, HONESTY.

"No one's a hero and no one's a villain."

Well, some are, but most of us aren't, and we need to quit with the all-or-nothing view of fellow humans. Humans are complex AF and can evolve and feel remorse. I have no time or energy for those without remorse, but I'll embrace someone who has remorse and recognizes the harm they've caused all day long.

[Shanti Mama]

32. I respect you, Joy!

Bravo for the way you've handled this.

[whathehell]

33. Hi Joy

[onecaliberal]

34. Good morning Joy! Handled this situation with with the humanity and sensitivity I expected.

You really are wonderful.

Thank you for staying on it!

Thank you for being so real..

[Carey1]

69. Love you Joy 😘

Always have and always will. Never miss your shows on the weekend. Joy, I have always said if you were the moderator for the presidential debates the emperor would have lost his clothes and Hillary would be our president today. Wishing you all the best for your continuing success.
I am your friend and wishing you everlasting happiness😘
This, too, shall pass

[pazzyanne]

40. Amazing response to the crud being heaped upon you.

You are doing a good job of handling this travesty. You have earned the right to hold your head high. Keep on Keeping on with the good that you do every day.

[Mr. Ected]

41. Joy, you're truly the best of the best

Your interviews cut to the bone and are laser-focused. Liars and dissemblers melt in your presence. Akin to Ari, but better.

Your analysis is detailed and nuanced. More information packed in a paragraph than anyone else on television. Akin to Rachel, but better.

Your personality is bubbly and friendly. I laugh with you, and I burn with you.

There are no better. Fight the good fight, Joy Reid. You're so good, you're now a target. Persevere.

[PatrickforO]

42. Hello Joy.

Please keep speaking truth to power.

[spicysista]

43. A Class Act!

You are a treasure, Mrs. Joy!

[kpete]

44. This:

I love Joy
I have made way too many mistakes while judging others
It is a flaw, many of us share


Rather than turn on one of our own, how about we accept her apology and her acknowledgment of her own growth on this issue and move on. The more we allow them to dictate the conversation the less we talk about their much more mortal sins.

45. My weekend mornings must include Joy

It'd great when she shows up during the week too.

[Cyrano]

46. Courage

Hemingway said: "Courage is grace under pressure."

[dembotoz]

52. we have too few voices....we need hers

[leftofcool]

53. Great Show, Joy!

[Pluvious]

54. We are all in this together, a good team supports each other.

We all evolve during our lives, it's who we are today that matters most.

[BumRushDaShow]

55. Only one who can make Tweety stutter and get stopped in his tracks.

Beast, you are dead to me.

[mia]

59. Just saw AM Joy on youtube.

Wonderful show. <3

[JPK]

60. Joy.....

One of MSNBC's BEST!

[heaven05]

61. I have no doubt she

learns from this experience She's strong, she will Move to even greater true TV journalism heights. You don't think E. R. Murrow et al wasn't attacked. McCarthy hated him, but who finally faced disgrace for his hate, same thing can happen to the trumpenfuhrer if enough true journalist keep on the case. And multi-millions show displeasure in November. Overwhelming numbers verified, will break this RW hold on everything indecent about this form of government and the people running it.

Keep informing, educating Joy.

[zentrum]

62. Hi Joy.

[lindysalsagal]

63. We need Joy!

We've all had to grow up and out from our humble beginnings. The point is, she's ad advocate for regular people.

[Ligyron]

64. I did the same thing Joy.

That was back then. Like a lot of people, I changed.

[arthritisR_US]

73. The orange turd could learn a thing or two from our Joy.

This is how classy people behave.

[Lifelong Protester]

74. Hi Joy!

Let's lock arms and move on.

[ancianita]

75. Head high, Joy. Stay badass.

[Eliot Rosewater]

76. I wonder which patriot is next? Which prominent American will be attacked for being a patriot?

So far Al Franken, Joy Reid, Hillary Clinton.

[El Shaman]

88. I love you to Joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FuzzyRabbit]

89. Joy, keep up the good work.

We need powerful voices like yours that tell the truth.

[NCTraveler]

90. It's apearant lack of sophistication...

And how easily it was promoted is what’s shocking.

[Silver Gaia]

91. We stand with you, Joy!

My family and I support you. Your voice is important and must not be silenced. Stay strong. We are with you.

[riversedge]

92. Stay Strong Joy. The USA needs you. #🌊🌊🌊 #FlipItBlue #BlueWave2018 #VoteThemOUT

[mahina]

93. Aloha Joy, I support you and appreciate you! We will not be divided!

You are in my top 2 favorite journalists

You are a brilliant and courageous interviewer. The way you refuse to be deflected from your questions should be taught in journalism school. I am proud of you and champion your excellent voice. Imua! (Onward!)

[DippyDem]

94. Yo Joy! Keep on truckin' there!

[Sedona]

95. Hi Joy!

You rock!

[Gothmog]

96. I stand with Joy Reid

[LittleGirl]

98. She's smart,

she's black so the right wing hate her and will do everything they can to take her down.
She shares too much truth for them. Of course, they would attack her.

[RandomAccess]

100. Your opening segment on today's show was

topnotch (what i saw of it -- had a few distractions).

Stay strong. You'll weather this.

[karin_sj]

101. I stand by Joy!

Who among us hasn't said or written something they regret? Who among us hasn't changed their opinion about something after their views and knowledge matured and changed for the better after life's experiences. I respect the fact that she owned up to her past views and has expressed sorrow and regret for the things she wrote so long ago. We need her voice, her smarts, and her passion! Don't let her voice be silenced! Republicans, Fox commentators, right wing bloggers, etc., don't give a crap about anything except silencing a strong, brave, articulate woman that they perceive as a threat.

[lostnfound]

102. Don't give up, we need your perspective! Great work!

Sometimes I learn a little and sometimes I learn a lot, but I always appreciate your show.

[ehrnst]

103. Kick and Reced!

[Cha]

106. Tweet from Eric Holder on Joy.. I thought you'd like to see..

104. The Dems need to stick together & keep these search & destroy missions...

by the alt-right from hitting its targets.

If they are successful with one, they'll move on to others.

[AmandaRuth]

105. Hi Joy

I love you. Stay strong! We need you.

[calimary]

107. Love you, Joy! You are still the best interviewer on television!

[iluvtennis]

108. I'm with Joy. The right is trying to take down one of our strongest advocates.

[radical noodle]

109. Joy is terrific

Her show on Saturday and Sunday mornings are the bright spots in my weekends. She's brilliant in her interviews and takes down liars on a regular basis.

[raven mad]

110. Better late than never from way up here!

Hi, Joy - you rock and I've made a LOT of screwups in my 64 years, yours was small and learned from.

[Dennis Donovan]

111. Hi Joy-Ann!

[Tarheel_Dem]

112. Love ya Joy!
