MSNBC star Joy Reid is set to co-host a town hall event on racism as questions about homophobic comments on her pre-fame blog remain unaddressed by the embattled Peacock Network. Conservative commentator Carmine Sabia told Fox News that the move reeks of hypocrisy. “I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things,” Reid told her viewers, adding, "The person I am now is not the person I was then." Politcal commentator Britt McHenry told Fox News the move is “stunningly tone deaf,” especially since her past narrow-mindedness was exposed so recently. But to just gloss over her homophobia and then blatant lies to cover it up, hardly demonstrates fair treatment and ethics,” McHenry told Fox News.
