Amazing situational ethics depending on whose ox is being gored. When she was having a go (fairly IMHO) at the Berners then she was fiercely defended and was painted as a victim of a hit job, her homophobic blog posts were the result of 'hacking' (LUDICROUS) or she was excused because she has 'evolved'.
Now she takes a poke at Biden (I am not of fan of her take on this TBF) and it is under the bus with that known homophobe Joy Reid.

Joy Reid keeps getting a pass on pretty much everything. I think she believes her own press.

If she was criticizing Biden on the ISSUES, that would be fair game, but let's not mince words.
