Not only is Reid an awful person, but she is also dangerous. What makes Reid dangerous are these qualities; Reid is extremely intelligent. Reid was educated at Harvard University. Reid has a high-level of charisma. Reid has mastered the art of persuasion. This writer was unaware of Reid’s existence until a court filing against her was brought to the attention of this writer. In this writer’s opinion, Reid did set-out to foment the murder of Roslyn La Liberte for political motives. Ironically, the title on the screenshot is exactly what Joe Biden is doing to win the election.
COURT FILING AGAINST REID EXCERPTS
This writer’s comments will be within brackets in bold.
1. Defendant Joy Reid (“Reid”) is a nationally known political commentator and
reporter for MSNBC and has been described as the network’s “new star.” She is the host of “AM Joy,” a show that is reportedly broadcast to more than a million viewers on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. She is also the host of the “AM Joy Podcast.” She is extremely popular on social media – at the time these events occurred she had some 1.24 million Twitter followers, 96,600 Instagram followers, and 206,400 Facebook followers.
2. Reid used her substantial social media presence, fame, and reputation as a hardhitting journalist to publish to her many followers that Plaintiff Roslyn La Liberte (“La Liberte”)
screamed abhorrent racial slurs at a fourteen (14) year old boy
3. Reid’s accusation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs at the boy in the
photograph are false.
4. Both the young man and his mother confirmed contemporaneously and afterwards
that La Liberte was being “civil.” A video of the interaction, showing La Liberte hugging the
young man, and he hugging her back, while his mother states twice that “they are having a civil
conversation,” is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqLoTK2ZjKw [ the video has been removed ]
5. An interview of the young man confirming that La Liberte did not utter any racial
slurs and was otherwise civil to him is available here: [ click on the link, click the backspace on the browser to return ] http://www.foxla.com/news/localnews/people-online-twist-the-real-story-behind-photo-of-woman-yelling-at-boy (last visited
August 29, 2018). He states, among other things, that he “felt like [La Liberte] was still trying to
keep it civil which I appreciate”; “she was being civil”; and “[s]he doesn’t deserve it because she
was giving her opinion at a place where everyone should be able to say their peace.”
6. Reid made her false accusations for the improper purpose of advancing her own
professional and political agenda at the expense of La Liberte’s reputation and privacy.
7. Indeed, Reid has a demonstrable, extreme, and well-publicized bias against
President Donald Trump, his supporters, and the Republican Party. Reid has been described as
the “heroine of the resistance to” President Trump’s leadership. Much of her previous reporting
has focused on race. She authored Fracture: Barack Obama, the Clintons, and the Racial
Divide, and she reportedly teaches a class at Syracuse University exploring race and the media.
She has said she “should have known then that Trump would win” when she heard “a white
woman on the elevator praising Mr. Trump for his anti-immigration stance.”
10. Reid set out to destroy La Liberte because she disagrees with La Liberte’s MAGA
hat and the beliefs Reid ascribes to those wearing that hat conflict with her ideology.
11. More specifically, after first retweeting that La Liberte “needs to be put on blast,”
Reid published without any basis in fact that La Liberte showed up “to a rally” and “screamed”
at a young man of fourteen (14) years that he is “going to be the first deported . . . dirty
Mexican!” A few days later and despite the fact that the young man previously and publicly
denied Reid’s account of events, Reid openly compared La Liberte’s alleged conduct to racism
during the Jim Crow era, stating, in part: “History sometimes repeats. And it is full of rage.”
12. Reid made up out of whole cloth the accusation that La Liberte screamed racial
slurs at a minor. Reid was not present at the City Council meeting. In fact, based on her own
publications, Reid appears to have cared so little for the truth that she was not even aware that
the interaction occurred at a City Council meeting, not a political “rally.” Moreover, Reid, a national journalist, had not a single source to support her malicious claim that La Liberte
screamed racial slurs at a minor while discussing immigration policy.
16. By way of example only, the following are excerpts from e-mails sent to La
Liberte in the immediate aftermath of Reid’s accusations:
a. “YOU ARE A DISGRACE. I WISH YOUR CHILDREN WERE RIPPED
FROM YOU SO YOU COULD UNDERSTAND THE PAIN. . . . You are a dirty
white woman b***h.”
b. “Dear racist b***h! It seems like your old poor evil soul never left the
Hitler era . . . What a waste, what an embarrassment, what a disgrace of the human
kind to have people like you in this world.”
c. “You’re the kind of White Trash that should be dragged into the Town
Square & flogged. Your tongue should be cut out. LEAVE THIS COUNTRY –
you are an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!”
d. “I’m glad everyone in the entire world knows what a racist piece of s**t
you are f**k you a*****e.”
e. “Want Out? Your life is probably becoming a living hell and you don’t
know how to handle it. I can offer a way out.”
f. “You’re a worthless human being. Go kill yourself.”
g. “The best way to make America great again is to tar and feather sluts like
you and ride them out of the country on a rail!”
h. “Racist c**t! Who the f**k do you think you [a]re? You’re sick and twisted
c**t & you’ll end up in hell after you die.”
i. “Ur a disgusting human being and if it wasn’t for ur voicemail being full u
would hear the best of me. U know what would make America great again is if
racist a** b***hes like u went the f**k back to Europe where u came from get
educated learn ur history know where u white pple came from.. you murdered and
slaughtered pple from their land took their homes and families. This world will be
a better place I will remember ur face if I ever see u I will spit in ur face c**t”
(Profanity censored).
18. By way of example only, the below is a voicemail received by La Liberte in the
aftermath of Reid’s accusations:
Yeah I was just wondering if you dumb f**king racist c**t was gonna be actually
building a wall to Mexico or not. Has Trump asked you to help out with that or are you just kind of taking things into your own hands? You know the next time you
want to yell at a f**king teenager why don’t you come on over and yell at me cause
I’m a grown a** man and guess what I’m not gonna f**king take it. I will smack
you upside you’re f**king
19. These hate messages “put [La Liberte] on blast” and had their desired effect on La
Liberte. She was terrified.
20. La Liberte did nothing more than appear at a democratic forum to share her
opinion on the hotly contested issue of the California’s sanctuary state status. Reid used her
megaphone as a national celebrity to falsely paint La Liberte as the face of racism in America.
21. Due, in part, to Reid’s position as a nationally known journalist, her show’s rising
ratings, and her status as the most tweeted-at personality at MSNBC, Reid’s posts accomplished
their purpose: a wide spectrum of her followers and other viewers believed Reid’s false
accusations as demonstrated by the hate messages and Reid’s followers’ attacks on La Liberte.
48. On June 29, 2018, Reid published to her approximately 96,600 Instagram
followers and the world as follows:
He showed up to rally to defend immigrants. … She showed up too, in her MAGA
hat, and screamed, “You are going to be the first deported” … “dirty Mexican!”
He is 14 years old. She is an adult. Make the picture black and white and it could
be the 1950s and the desegregation of a school. Hate is real, y’all. It hasn’t even
really gone away.
58. By 7:25 p.m. on July 2, 2018, Reid — apparently recognizing that her accusations
against La Liberte were false — had taken down the False Publications and issued the following
statement alongside a link to the Fox 11 article via her social media platforms:
It appears I got this wrong. My apologies to Mrs. La Liberte and Joseph.
A copy of said post is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.
59. Even Reid’s supposed “retraction” was evasive and equivocal. She failed to state
what “this” is and what she got “wrong.” She included the word “appears” to avoid commitment
to the truth.
END OF EXCERPTS
Are we to believe that Reid as a well educated highly intelligent person with a vast pool of investigates just got it wrong? Download court filing here>https://www.dcdocumentreports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Joy-Reid-lawsuit-5.pdf
