The MSNBC host was criticized for anti-gay statements

MSNBC host Joy Reid issued an apology Sunday for some 10-year-old blog posts that were seen as homophobic.

“This note is my apology to all who are disappointed by the content of blogs I wrote a decade ago, for which my choice of words and tone have legitimately been criticized,” Reid said, according to a statement published on NBC News. Reid came under fire for appearing to mock former Republican Florida Governor Charlie Crist with homophobic statements.
