MSNBC personality Joy Reid apologized Friday for publishing a photoshopped image of Sen. John McCain’s face over the body of the Virginia Tech shooter on her now-defunct blog.
While I published my blog, starting in 2005, I wrote thousands of posts in real time on the issues of the day. There are things I deeply regret and am embarrassed by, things I would have said differently and issues where my position has changed. Today I'm sincerely apologizing again.
"I'm sorry for the collateral damage and pain this is causing individuals and communities caught in the crossfire. To be clear, I have the highest respect for Sen. McCain as a public servant and patriot and wish him and his family the best. I have reached out to Meghan McCain and will continue to do so. She is a former on-air colleague and I feel deeply for her and her family," Reid said in a statement provided to National Review.
"I've also spoken openly about my evolution on many issues and know that I'm a better person today than I was over a decade ago. I am the daughter of immigrants and have worked to be a strong ally of these communities. There is no question in my mind that Al Qaeda perpetrated the 9/11 attacks or about Israel's right to its sovereignty," Reid added, referencing a separate blog post, which was uncovered by Buzzfeed News earlier this week and appeared to endorse a 9/11 conspiracy documentary co-produced by Infowars’ Alex Jones.
"I believe the totality of my work attests to my ideals and I continue to grow every day," she concluded.
